HIGHER CRITICISM IN THE BOWERN & CO

NURSERY.

have

ave been others,

From The Time-Ever since the re ference appeared in these columns to the nursery or children's rhyme about “gather. ing nuts in May we have been in receipt of more letters from the learned and the ingenions on the meaning of these simplo words than we have been able to print So many are the interpretations offered that no sort of unanimity has been attained, and the discussion, wo fear, is doomed to close without our getting any nearer the truth. There have been critics, like the Principal of Kings College, who accept the text without demur, and explain nuts as pig-nuts or earth-nuts, an esculent delicacy as commentators inform dest to awing wh

to pheasants. There aren greater sticklers for the letter, who believe

in the childish sense of humour, denied to adults, which would take an impish delight in nuts out of season, as inice on a summer's sday, and similar paradoxes; others, again, following Admiral Dumas,

as bold that knots of May is the right reading,

they are not all

all agreed on the meaning of knot and whether they are natural or artificial. And, though in a manner less fashionable than it would have been 4 generation ago, we have been invited to go back with our rade ancestors into the umbrage of the Teutonic foreste to find in the prattle of modern babes the last flickering tradition of pagan free- worship. On a small scale all the schools of the higher criticism have been presented: the matter-of-fact, which is not bamed by an apparent absurdity, the emendaturient, whose objections can bo saristisfied by a deft verbal change; and the rationalistic, which believes that nothing is as it seems.

To the onlooker in such circumstances, truth must appear either aunttainable or, at the best, relative and'dependent on the in- tellectual fashion of the hour. But the worst of the first method is, if we

we may judge from the analogy of graver studies, that verbal rinendations are seldom acceptable to others and hardly ever susceptible of proof, while the history of rationalistic explanation in long record of elaborate theoriz. which has had to be abandoned. Who now holds the tale of Troy divino to be a solar myth!", When, there fore, our children proclaim that they are gathering nuts in May, let us re- cognizing their capacity for make-believe, take them at their word; and if they add cold and frosty morning let us remember that a May morning is often cold and frosty. Several of our correspondents have dwelt on what, in their view, is the.

entially English setting of the jingle; h chilly May, especially the first of May, is common cough, and irony is an English quality. It has carried us through some tight places before now, as many of the ongs sung in the war will testify. So for ourselves we are all for the Überlief rung as the cant plumac, among the learned is, though there is

perfectly English words for it; nor need the

THE DANCING

This is a season of congresses and confer ences, bus in the roar of many voices discuss- ing all things, from vitamines to railway fares, we would cravo a hearing for the revolting dancing mastera. The Inter- national Congress of Dancing Masters asacumbled at Paris has been saying severe things about the contortions of the modern hall-room.
