a determination TO achieve certain
: results. My early experience has
stood me in good stead in my work
among the unfortunates Of the city.
For example. in my early youth my
father was in partnership with an
other man who had great hopes for
the future Of the partnership and
signed the partnership name to
notes. When these notes came due
il took all the property of the part
nership, and our whole family was
left in a difficult position for a con-
siderable period Of time. This
change Of family fortunes neeessi-
tated my going 10 work at y years
of age for a farmer. This was a
large dairy farm where il was nee

take up farm work until the noon
hour. when dinner was served. 1t
was not possible to have more than
half hour because of noon-hour
chores-the feeding Of swine, chick
ems, and the like. At l o'clock il
was customary for me TO go out and
work on the farm until in the aft
ernoon, then to come in and milk
five cows. have supper. then mount
the milk wagon and take the after
noon milk to the cheese factory,
some seven miles away, and return
by 10 o'clock at night. Then 1 was
able to go TO bed about half past 10.
This sort of work at these hours
continued day IN and day out. with
the exception of Sunday, for seven
months of the year. During the re-
naming five it was possible for me
to attend school during the day. do
chores during the afternoon and on
Sundays and holidays, and continue
at school during the five months.
For the first year received S12 a

of a great number Of extended in

foremost writer's Of the day, who
have discussed frankly and inform
ally a multitude of questions bear
ink on literature from the writer's
point of view. 4 peculiar interest
attaches 10 a critical volume of this
kind-the work not Of critics or lit
erary appraisers, but OF the literary
workers themselves 49, nOvelists.
poets, and playwrights. The com
ment is fresh and stimulating in
that it is not a deductive process
from literature itself. but the in
stinctive reasoning and belief which
inspires the craftsmen themselves.
The names of the % writer's and
the topics OF the % chapters, if set
