MEN. BOOKS, PEOPLE
AND THINGS

There In q general complain that
American boys and girls who kradu'
ate from our preparatory and acatemic
institutions, are deficient in literary
expressionS that their use Of the Eng
lish language 10 weak and hating.
We are told that the most imasina'
tive and original writers We have Fere
marked low. at school; that their pow
er Of expression stands In inverse
ratio to their school record
There - much ground for this Giti-
cism.
8 while originality. creative instinct,
and extraordinary literary expression
may be gift. or, at least, tendencies
, in the individual, an ordinary sense Of
letters, clearness Of thought and ex-
preston, may be developed to an as
tonishing degree.
And to a degree may harmful train
ing smother Imagination, discourage
originality, and end the enthusiasts d
pupil shows In his daily work.
!. There are exceptions, like James
Lane Allen. Kate Douglass Wiggin.
and other obscurer instructors Of the
young; but, as a rule, teachers in our
country lack Imagination. They are
dull routinists. They baIk at original.
ity or unusaalness In the use ofaa word
or phrase, and stand always for con-
formity to absolute technically.
The compositions of Henry James
we're always marked low by his IN
discerning teacher of English. His
fine though sometimes involved
Thought was not discovered or appre-
ciated, but his classmates of whom We
have now no record of achievement
were marked high for their unoriginal
but strictly grammatical and conyen.
tional English. J.
The average school girls graduating
essay has become the object Of news
paper jokes because it is SO flat. 1t
lacks individual flavor, the tango
which makes writing Of any use ct alt
j To measure by standards like those
Of Aver in his books on English, would
kill the budding creative instinct OF
any child. and discourage his further
effort at composition. y
Take the length Of d sentence. for
instance. Many, perhaps most Of US
consider the short sentence always
best. We abbreviate, shorten thesway
to a fact advise abridgment, con-
ciseness and terse statements This
is very well for. some writing, and
every. one ought to know how to do it.
But as applied to all work especially
the school composition and essay,
whose object is to develop imagination
as well as expression, it is disastrously
restrictive. It kills spontaneity; It'll
eliminates individual style. 1t makes
the school essay q composite, a dreary,
echo of other mems
thoughts, clothed in conventional
phrase.
Through the pedagogic mesh rises
the work Of the excertioial, iow-marR-
ed pupil who becones the well known
novelist or magazine writer
. A long sentence clearly expressing
q new thought in well chosen, simple
words, Is one mark Of genius. 1t evil
dences the good writer II Is con-
structive, concrete proof of good writ |
Ing, and stands beside the jerky, stab |
sentences of the writer Of sensational
literature as Lamb, Hazlitt, or Steven /
son do by the side ofFE. D. E. N. |

rage on cars engaged in intrastate
commerce in this state, effective June

"As stated in our previous order,
