The following paragrah from a re cent issue of ''The Alumni Review, H published at Chapel Hill, by the Uni versity of North Carolina, will be of more than ordinary interest to our readers: "A particularly attractive French reader, prepared after a novel plan, is La Belle France, by Adolphe de Monvert (Allyn and bacon). In this noble cognomen, we recognize with out difficulty the fine Belgian hand of our former colleague, Professor Adolf Vermont. The book was written in France by the author and a compan ion; and the incidents observed and spots visited are gracefully and brightly described. Thi* is largely d o to the fact that "notes of the various incidents were made on the spot and written out while the iecoltection was fresh in mind." The illustrations, which were prepared a'ld arranged by Charles H. Munson, were taken on the spot; and thus serve as a fitting pictorial 'illustration' of the text. There are excellent 'notes' on difficult points of language in the text, and an adequate vocabulary. This reader for beginners bids fair to attain a very wide snle, both on the basis of its in dividual merits and the school adop tions to date." Mr. G. T. Whitley adds the follow ing facts to the above paragraph: "La Belle France is probably the only book written by a north Carolin ian that has been adopted for school and college use outside of the State. The friends of Prof. Vermont will be glad to learn that his book has been adopted in several places in several States. Colgate University, Cornell, and Harvard have adopted it. Al though the book is only four months old the publishers have asked Mr. Vermont to prepare a second edition. The class in French in T. G. S. is aiding in this revision." Hear the noted I)r.
