READ THE WRITERS OF TO-DAY.
American intellectual Life Shaped b.
Living Authors.

The jo1rneymen writer's write
almost all that almost all Amer
leans read, says Walter Page in
the Atlantic. This is fact
that we love to fool ourselves
about. We talk about literature"
and we talk about 'hack writer's" I'M
plying that the reading we do is of lit
erature. The truth all the while is,
we read little else than the writing of
the hacks-living hacks, that is, men
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life and
thought are not really affected by cur
rent literature, tElt we read the iv-
ing writer's only for utilitarian reasons
and that our real intellectual life is
fed by the great dead writer's. But
our hugging this delusion does not
change the fact that the intellectual
life even of most educated persons,
and certainly of the mass of the popu-
1ation, is fed chiefly by the writer's Of
our own time. Let us hope that the
great writer's of the past do set the
Ntandards whereby a few judge the
writing Of the present. But, even If
this be true, it is still true also that
the intellectual life of the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.
