SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1907.

There is always n certain amount of fun to
BE- obtained in contemplation of the OwliSh gray
fly with which our cousins across the water
discuss the subject of American literature. A
little while ago, in an entirely inoffensve way,
Mr. c. X. Shorter allowed the impression to
get abroad that he did not think that America
had produced any great writer's. We recall the
occasion of his prouounccment and the ease with
which We bore Up under it But Mr.. William
Archer, whose sense of humOr is not precisely
his strong point, has been much alarmed by
the careless speech OF his contemporary and
protests that Mr.. Shorter is nOuriShing wrong
headed opinions. Whereupon the aggrieved
Shorter plantivcly observes that "to say that
America has produced great writer's is not
saying very much" OF course it isn't. As Mr..
Shorter says, The American has quite lost the
faculty that his cOuntryman, Mr.. Lowell at
tributcd to him, of counting all his literary
geese as swans" While we recognize the value
of Emerson, we know perfectly well that it is
no disParagement Of him ito say that he was
not a man Of great creative gifts" We are
sure that an American, quite well as an
Englishman. can see the point for example, to
Mr. ShOrters assertion that The Marble Faun'
is a book of the intellect and not of the heart
and soul.

1t is an open question whether a genuine
taste for good literature can be inculcated IN
the schOolbOy for whom creation OF genius is
turned into textbook. For our own part, we
do not believe in the enforced study by unin-
terested youngsters of the literary treasures
which judicous hints might lead them joyously
TO discover for themselves. There was a time
when the majestic numbers OF Milton were
mar class Of their childhood, were made To
'parSe" paradise Lost" Though such stupid
tty is not often encountered nowadays, we are
not sure that the more pretentiOus literature
class has improved matters To scratch tear
and dsemb0wel q famous and beautiful literary
production by means of the commonplace tech
hcal questions of a set examination, cannot
serve TO implant in the young mind love for
the thing thus profaned. The head master OF
q certain preparatory school in England has hit
upon happier fashion OF interesting his pupils
In great writings. He trains his boys annually
TO act n whole play Of Shakespeare, using the
three English hours q week. 81 change the
parts about So he says, that each boy has n
good chance OF showing what he is worth.
Scenes are learned by heart in prep and by

or four times. l take various parts OF course
myself and try to make the boys first speak
ont, then act" The boys return from their
Christmas holidays word perfect, and the play
is given with spirit, enjoyment and under
standing that justify the opinion that such
performance encourages far more real and lively
interest In Shakespeare than any amount of
