INTRODUCING LITERATURE
An Informal Presentation to the
Subject.

WHAT CAN LITERATURE DO FOR
Me? BY c. Alphonso Smith. l6mo.
PIP. 22S. Doubleday, Page a. Co.
To teach" say Treasure Island"
is to make small boys loathe 1t: this.
IN substance, is frequent commentary
upon methods Of education in schools.
The author of this little book is Poe
professor Of English in the University
of Virginia; and he. too. holds that
literature unfortunately is still taught
you may be sure not learned-frOm
the fact side" So occasionally some
one gets up and whoops it up on the
outside, so TO say, for literature.
Arnold Bennett, in his uncommonly
spirited little book on how TO go at
literature, must have made literature
look very much alive for the first time
TO many. Professor Smith here has es-
sayed TO run upon much the same err
rand. He answers the question of his
title: What Can Literature Do For
Me-" in his chapter headings: 1T Can
Give You an outlet" 1T Can Keep
Before lou the Vision Of the IDEAL"
IL Can Give You a Better knowledge
Of Human Nature" 1T can Restore
the Past to YOU" 1T Can Show You
the Glory of the Commonplace" and
1T Can Give You the Mastery of Your
own Language"
The author, in his effort to fire with
some life for the uninitiated the old
hulk Of literature. entertainingly dis
cusses, by way Of comparison the null
tiplication table. 1t is as valuable a
piece of information as was ever com-
pressed into so small space.
Now the multiplication table is Just
as true a. anything ever said by poet.
Perhaps II is truer but il is true in
different way. We do not feel like say
ing: why, this table merely expresses
what | had already felt or been dimly
and force and completeness that give me
a new sense OF its truth" No one ever
said that Of the multiplication table. and
no one ever Will. The multiplied
ton table has to be put into you from
the outside.
But literature. the author pledges his
honor to his reader. is quite another
thing. We ourselves will take his mere
word for il that through il your own
thought and feeling flow. and deepen
as they flow" Professor Smith has
sought TO approach. with his arm
linked into that Of his reader. litera-
