"Bring Them Up Alive" is a sincere and scrupulously fair comparison he I ween a modern progressive coeducational school and an average public school. Everyone interested in education should read it, and although the narrative is sometimes rather distorted by the author's sociological pre-occupation. it is lively and full of incident enough to enter-tit in anvbodv. The progressive school which John, aged sixteen, has to leave when his father dies, is an exceptionally good and sensible pure and commercial. After a great deal of success, marred by an unsatisfactory marriage, he is killed in the last war.

Theie is considerable variety of incident and a large caste among whom readers of Miss Leslie's f.orn.er novels wdll find some old friends and their relations. Concord himself remains a somewhat shadowy figure, but the subsidiary characters, especially, perhaps, his mother, and Barford the libertarian crank who befriends him, are distinctly alive.

It concerns the adventures of a young American who goes to the South of France to play in a jazz band, and has to disguise himself to escape the censure orf his cold and haughty fiancee. He gets involved in a hopeless tangle of deceit, meets a lot of typical Riviera summer eccentricities, and has several adventures, including being arrested for drug-smuggling, before he finally manages to straighten out his affairs, dispose painlessly of his fiancee, and fade out on the last page with the right girl.
