A THEORY OF CRITICISM.

WYE have spoken here of j. E. SPINGARNs book
w Creative Criticism. In its few pages there
is fine lot of fresh, clean air Mr.. SPINGARN de-
clines the view that critic should test creative
piece of work-book, poem, song, painting-by any
rules whatsoever Does this book stir met Does
this poem or song move met What was the creator
intending and has he succeeded Does he get his
intended efectf -
If you can answer these questions you can play
critic.
1t does not matter whether the poem is rhymed
or free verse. Does it affect me as the poet in
tendedi If it does, it is good poem. Whether
the painting is in an accepted style utterly
cubistic is of no consequence so long you "gct"
it as the artist wished you to.
We believe this. Hurrahl Think of the oceans
of tushery it does away with. What do we care
whether the novel is in HENRY JAMEs's latest man.
ner or in ELEANOR H. PoRTER's earliest style (if
any, so long as it hits us where we live2 Any art
that gets across is good art. And nothing that
fails to get across can be good either as art or
anything else
We have only one reservation to make That is
this Because particular piece of creative work
does not come home to US individually, it does not
follow that no one else will be moved by it: We
think the individual Judgment must always lie at
the mercy of popular referendum and recall
That may come in the judges lifetime or it may
come later A reporter not being person who

TRAINING BOOK CLERKS,

Sc A PROPOS of HUGH WAIPoLE's letter in
A Books and the Book World for June 20, on
the subject of ignorance of book clerks, it might
assist your readers if you were to publish few
words about the attempts that have been made in
this country to remedy the evil which has long been
recognized here. II
From time to time during the last twenty-five
years desultory courses of lectures for the benefit
of boo; clerks have been given, but the first sys-
tematic attempt was made six or seven years ago,
under the direction of B. W. HuEBscH, the pub
Usher, through the medium of the Booksellers
League Of New York. Perhaps those efforts are
familiar to you. If So, this letter will contain
nothing new.
''The first course was given in cubroom by the
proprietors of bookstores, managers, expert libra
rians &C., and was attended by clerks in the New
York shops. In the second and third years the
same method was pursued, but it arranged to
hold each lecture in bookstore. The gathering
moved from one bookstore to another, thus giving
all the clerks in New York an opportunity to

Night School Courses.
The next development was to utilize the ma
chinery of the night courses at they. M. G. A,
and for two years courses open to women as well as
men and to outsiders as well as to those in the
business were given under Mr.. HUEBsoH's direc-
ton by rstrate lecturers Half of the time was de-
voted to survey of the history Of literature and
the other half to the technique of book selling cata
loguing, arrangement of stock display, salesman
ship, the second hand business and many other de-
tails.
The war interfered with the immediate devcl-
0pment of further plans, but the experience of
Few years brought the conviction that the problem
that of retailers of all other merchandise. The
basic difficulty is the absence of teachers trained
to instruct salespeople. An effort is to be made to
overcome this by establishing new school, as de-
scribed in the enclosed prospectus
''The book trade has joined hands with the big
New York department stores and New York Uni
versity, and something is being started that will
have beneficial effect all future retail selling"
A School of Retail Selling.
The prospectus enclosed is that of the School Of
Retail Selling of New York University, of date
February 49, 1919. memorandum on the cover
says:
An examination of this will not reveal any
thing closely related to the book trade The plan is
to induce some Of the students in the course to
specialize in books dropping textiles and mon
textiles and taking special course in place Of
those. The special course would probably be
worked in conjunction with library school,"
The subjects other than textiles and "non-
textiles taught in the on retail selling
subjects applicable to all retail selling, including
hooks-such as ''store management, "language of
business" arithmetic and bookkeeping, salesman
ship, personnel relations &c.
In our opinion this is an undertaking that ought
to succeed. We speak of it to advertise it; and we
may add that as a person and without reference to
his role as publisher BEN HUEBscH has the cor
dial liking of every in the book publishing and
book selling business. For our part we have never
observed evidence that book clerks, in general,
less intelligent or less well-informed than any
other class of salespeope. And we know Of no kind
Of merchandise where much intelligence and
such breadth of information in the salesperson is
so constantly called for continually exhibited
