The trustees of the Shakespeare
birthplace are much aggrieVed at the
outcry against the erection of an adj
iacent site of modern red brick free
library building. We believe that no
one who has an instructive feeling for
the value of historic and literary as
scciatiOns can sympathize with them.
Shakespeares town should be kept as
far as possible a town of his period
that is to say, in those parts of it, at
least, in which a share of his life was
passed. The little street on which his
eyes first opened may we'll have been
preserved in its olden quainmess for
the benefit of the wide world to whom
the petty affairs of the modern STRAIT
fordians mean nothing whatever. We
are free to say that all that makes for
Stratford's fame belongs much more
emphatically to that wide world, com
ing on pilgrimage" than to the perfect
ly unimportant citizens who largely
live on the results of that fame. If
those worthy citizens want a red brick
free library building in the current
Rritish taste, let them have it-but let
it be put in some excellent, slightly
place away from Shakespares little
street With its "reminiscences Of Eliza
bethan times. The town has already
been vulgarized by hideous structures
erected in the name of Shakespeare: it
is time to stop this stupidity if any il
fusion at all is to be preserved for the
few relics of the poet. Scholars and
travellers alike will appreciate Miss
Ccrelli's gallant fight against the
spoiiatio of the Shakespeare thor
oughfare. 1t would be q graceful
thing in Mr.. Carnegie, the Givcr Of the
library building. if he would suggest
to the toWnspeople that a site less dcs
tructive to the Shakespearean atmos-
phcre of the place would be more
agreeable to him.-NcW York Tribune.

We belong to nation of great

with an unfailing appetite, and Il
literary range which extends from the

necessarily discriminate greatly be-
tween Mrs. Ward and Bertha M. Clay.
We are fast becoming an t-of-

and heroes of fiction but our real
folks sigh continually for the OPEN
Nature to many of us, is deity to be
approached with barred head, thick
shoes, and rolled-up sleeves; to be
propitiated with golf clubs and fishing
rods; to be entertained with athletic
sports of varying kinds and degrees;
and in return for our devotion she be-
slows on us hearty appetite Tor beef

soothing pipe in hours of meditation or
stupor.

The new Virginia story, THE Red
fields Succession" by H. B. Boone ana
Kenneth Brown Harpers), contains a
number of quOtable paragraphs, as for
instance:
Summer friendships are VIGOROUSLY
unsuited for winter continuation, and
it is equally true that city friendships
often fail in the country. Men touch
each other in their sympathies on one
or two points only, as rule, and when
their environment alters they often
lose their points of sympathy
That's the history of the South: you
can enjoy plain, spontaneous resting
here so well. Up North you have to
get tired first, and that takes half the
rest out of it,
Love and fascination, how few take
the trouble to distinguish between
them until afterwards Perhaps to
many is denied the power to do so.
Love is hardly proved till it boils
around boulders. Most lovers manage
to make their hard times through mis-
understandings, if no roughnesses come
otherwise"

At the recent Shakespeare celebra-
ton in London DR.. Furnival uttered
some words of refreshing common
sense. In speaking of the practice of
reading Shakespeare Chronologically
he said: IF you study Shakespeare in
that way all the Bacon rot and stuff of
that sort drops off your back like
water. If You go through the plays in
chronological order you get grip of
the mans personality, and must
acknowledge that he is the greatest
genius in literature.'

In view of the forthcoming produc-
ton in New York of several of the
poetic dramas of the neo-Celtic school,
Harper's Weekly for June 9Th calls at
tention to the fact that Goldsmith and
Sheridan, both Irishmen, were the last
two authors in our language whose
plays are literature in a real sense
and who may be said TO have been
forerunners of the present Irish liter
airy revival; just as, from another
point of view, they were the last heirs
of the old dramatic tradition of Eng
land.

Withal. IF every year" it says, adds
TO the readers of scraps and snippets,
while it takes away from the narrow
ing number of intellectual readers, if
an unlettcred democracy is balanced
by an unettered aristocracy. the cause
lies in the deepening materialism of
the age, the race for wealth, the
struggle to live. Men who will not
take time to digest their food are not
likely to take time to digest their
books. Quick luncheon and hasty
reading go together. TO read properly
is to think; and to think requires
leisure. Something again is perhaps
due TO declining energy. Numbers find
leisure for foolish reading who would
faint at the notion of concentrating
their minds on d book. A tired and
blase generation has lost the sap for
mental effort. Finally, the thirst for
gold ard pleasure is contagious, more
contagious than the thirst for knoWl-
edge. 1t must increase, While the other

II. Rider Haggard is one Of the Brit
iSh authors who do not believe in a lit
erary academy. He puts his finger on
the irreconcilable points when he
asks, Who would elect the members
and what would be the standard Of
qualification? Was it to be popular
ity? If an author. could dispose of
two thousand or three thousand copies
on or before the day of publication
was he to be a member of the acad-
envy? Things might not be entirely
satisfactory, but he preferred to go on
as they were without an academy.
