Tradition and Good Booka

Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries: they are uke nativo trees that grow so we'll no- where else. The little writers--hacks, who eentimentslze to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains op an advertising page-ars just as traditional. The only differ. ence Is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized 1uthors-the very good and the prob ably endurlng-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to contem. porary life. That Is what Thackeray did in "Vahlty Tair," Howells In "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whnr- ton Ill "The House of Mirth." But buck-tr nature books--both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of grouno-hogs and turtles that call themselves nature books-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the American sul>consciGusneSs.

 offerings were well taken below the

 manufacturers of goods would be per mtted to use any grade of cotton that | would produce materials of the desir- 1 ed quality, and this was supposed to 1 mand recently reported for lower | grades in tinges in the South.

What War Doen

For those who go to war the victory m not always to tho strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming ly paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the r1gors of war almost unl. formly developed into tough and rel!. able soldiers, often more 50 than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many man who had been timid and considered himself 6 coward was in reality braver than the swashbucklef who had sneered at him back homa Men who have been diSgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted in the fro of waS into leaders of high ability.

Poetry, like every great force has followed an evolution of its own. and as 1t comes to us today we may trace tn 1t this general tendency.
