Athletics and Literature

What with it's polo and it's golf, its
shooting and its fishing and all its other
enchanting physical exercises, the rul-
ing class in England Is much too tired
and too happy when evening comes to
devote Its thought to any serious branch
OF study or to pursue any difficult train
of thought For the sons of men who
used to sit up half the night discussing
the origin of species, Mr.. Anthony Hope
prepares the sleeping draught of his
soothing romances There is nothing
whatever to be sarcastic about in this.
1t acts like the rule of three. If you
spend the day in violent strain of the
muscles in the open air, it is absolutely
impossible to work your brain at night,
and it would be hurtful to you if you
were to try to do so.
In this respect the masses of the ma
ton have paid to the rich fiattery in it's
sincerest form. They also have accepted
the physical or athletic ideal, and are.
cultivating it to extravagant success 1t
is an admirable thing that young women
of the working class should be able to
relax their sinews and enjoy as many
innocent sports as possible. But, in the
fullest seriousness. I suggest that it is
not admirable or wholesome, but puerile
and almost crazy, that the record of
these games should swell into the pro-
portion of national events, that news
about county cricket and football should
take precedence of the most weighty af-
fairs of state, and that hundreds and
thousands of personse should be encour-
aged by their educated leaders in the
press to consider a champion billiard
player more exalted parsonage than
great statesman or a great scholar.
do not think that Englishmen of the
more moderate way of thinking realize
the violent degree to which the athletic
ideal has pushed all others to the wall
within the last few years. Matthew Ar
mold warned us that we had a barbarian
class amongst us. If he had lived till to-
day he might judge that we have prac-
tically no other.-Edmund Gosse in the
North American Review
