You ask that I express my opinion on
two or three best works that / have read
this year In reply would state the most
interesting book l have read the past
year is NY Life With The Eskimo by
Vilhjalmur Stefansson. which has 1ust
been issued by the Macmillan Company.
My reason for taking such great In
terest In this book Is the fact that last
summer ! spent very delightful visit
with Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle at the country home of Sir
Arthur at Crowborough. England. l think
mis- life among the Eskmos is one of the
most interesting that ! have heard in my
life. and I was perfectly delighted to be
able to get the book itself. You can
imagine what pleasant time had listen
ing to a story Ny Vilhjamur. and also
story with Sir Arthur. | discussed
with the latter the detective; he from the
theoretical and me from the practical, but
when we finished We agreed perfectly

Joseph Conrad's last novel. Cho~ce.
Conrad Is the pure artist. He gives US
the real thoughts and feelings Of living
persons and no rhetoric. no moralizings.
no desire to teach. no ''uplift." Conrad

Hardy. In my opinion. the greatest mas
ter Of the art OF fiction writing In English
since the death OF Meredith. ChdHce has
gone into the sixth or seventh edition In
England In three or four months. Amer

genius.

should put Tagores GitdrjGN first. IN
England Tagore was the rage year or
so ago. Only when he Unexpectedly re-
ceived the Nobel prize did America begin
to wake up. Up to then his books were
almost unknown and unread here. though
he had spent some months among us and
had delivered some lectures here.
America is fond OF believing In the
awards or approval OF foundations and
institutes. In science the results of these
beliefs are beyond all praise. bot In the
arts In painting. in poetry and in sculp-
ture the results are often lamentable. SO
| vote for Tagore. not because of but in

for him because OF his teaching. but ]
vote for him as an artist. We do no:
respect the artist as artist enough IN
this country. My friend Mr.. w. b. Yeats
said recently that In England In the '90s

cut him. That is the feeling OF the true
