impossible to confne it to~one day,
it has been decided to extend it over
period Of six days, beginning Mon
day, October z, and ending Satur-
day, October IL. Indianapolis, Mr..
Riley's home town, has taken the
lead in this event, but the movement
has spread like wildfire and it is
doubtful whether there is a city or
town in the United States which will
not have one or more events sched-
uled in honor of the poet who,
through the medium Of his verses,
has struck a responsive chord in
every breast and has succeeded in
bringing poetry home to the people.
Riley programs have long been
popular with literary clubs and dur
ing Riley week these programs will
take on an added interest Mr.. Ri
ley is widely known for his love Of
children. Like his great predeees-
sor, Longfellow, he has been able to
fathom the beauties of the child ma
ture better than most men, and
many of his best poems have been
written for( or about, children. For
this reason Riley Week" will be
generally observed in the schools
with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excel
lent health. The paralysis which
manifested itself in his right arm
little more than a year ago is rapid
~ disappearing and he says he feels
as we'll as he ever did. He goes
about the country in his big touring
car and he is known as an enthusi-
astic motorist. He is always happy
and is usually surrounded by a group
of close friends.
No man in America has more
friends than James Whitcomb Riley.
During the years he travelled as a
lecturer he met thousands of people,
who, attracted by his magnetic per-
sona1ity, became warmly attached to
him. There are hundreds of thous-
ands more who have never met him
personally but who are his friends
nevertheless. They are the ones who
have been reached by his verses, for
