TO EDUCATE ONES SELF.

A young man In a letter to the editor of
the Ladies' Home Journal inquiries the best
systematic course OF reading, as substi-
tute for an academic education, with the
view Of equipping himself for literary pur-
suits; and also which books would be the
most beneficial to read with the idea of
preparing himself to enter the field of
fiction. To the query regarding the sub
stitute for college education, where it
is mater of choice. l am not so sure.
since so much depends upon the man. To
one man a good course Of reading, wisely
chosen and followed, would be infinitely
more helpful than a. college education,
while in the case of another man just the
reverse would be true. Some men absorb
information more readily and retain it
better. under training, while others
need the compulsory force of teaching to
impress things upon the mind. But where
college education is, for SINE reason not
accessible, and a substitute must be found,
then course Of reading is unquestionably
gcod--none better in fact" ~ st
With respect to the inquiry concerning
preparation to enter the field Of fiction,
Mr. Box considers it difficult to answer
"since so much depends upon the partic-
ular field Of historical fiction desired.
However, the best reply, perhaps. is that
which suggests the reading Of a number
of the best novels dealing with successive
periods of English history from Saxon
times to the early part of the present cen
fury. l give list mot reproduced in this
extract) which includes typical books by
the various masters Of English historical
fiction, but 1t might be doubled, in length
several times over without exhausting the
availab BILE books Of value in this field. A
like selection may be made from the novels
treating of different historical periods sew
orally Of France, Germany,s Spain, Italy
and other countries of Europe and Amer
lea. The field is almost limitless, but I
have begun with the history Of England,
as containing the direct sources of Amer,
lean history which need to be grasped be-
fore one can fairly understand the be-
ginings and progress Of our own national
life''
