Reading the Classics

Mention the classics enjoyable reading, and
most persons yawn, pointing to current issues of
the magazines as more delectable material for
recreation and relaxation.
The prejudice against the masterpieces is q
sad commentary on our civilization. Time was,
and not so long ago, when person, advancing the
slightest claim to culture, had an acquaintance
with at least few Of the great literary minds Of
the world. Today he shrugs his shoulder and
with superficial wisdom pronounces his belief
in Giving in the present.. And sad to say his
offhand rejection Of the mental output of some
of the worlds greatest thinkers and writers
meets no rebuttal.
To the person who has spurned reading the
classics, the condensed reviews of some of the
great masterpieces, as they appear day by day
in the Palladium, may come as a pleasant sur
prise. Instead of finding them dead and dry,
to his own surprise he finds himself carried away
by their charm. Through them pusates life, as
real and full of meaning, as that found in any
contemporary novel. They picture men and
events with fidelity to the human type that re-
quires no justification or apology.
Perhaps many of us would lose our antipathy
to the classics of famous authors if we would
transfer ourselves to the era which they depict.
and, projecting before our minds eye their civil
zation say, really these men and women possess
the same traits we ourselves have; they laugh
and cry, hate and love, bless and curse, reward
and profteer, just as we do today.
Morals have changed little in the lapse of
centuries, but the external manifestations Of
wickedness and goodness have done So The be-
setting sin of one generation seldom is the in
Equity in which the succeeding one INDUCES. The
principle of evil and the principle of good will
ever, undergo a change. Famous authors pre-
sent men and women as they act and react under
the dominating influences of their day, so that
their books never become old-fashioned and OBJ
solete They are fresh as dew if approach
them sympathetically and read them with intel
ligence.
One need not have superior education to ap.
preciate a story written one hundred years ago.
The student of literature probably reads every
book with the purpose of studying the authors
method. But even he cannot overlook entirely
the story as story. He also enjoys the develop
ment of character the qualifications of plot, the
charm of the setting, which enrapture the or
binary reader
Persons who have been reading the series un-
doubtedly have acquired new attitude toward
the classics. They found their prejudice was
grounded on misconceptions of what classic
really is even if the condensations restrict
ed to fiction.
The dramas, epics, and the many forms of
poetry, which have come down to us by tradi-
ton and laborious transcriptions from the early
days of civilization are just as gripping and
aninating as the works of fiction. We deny
ing ourselves rare treat by not becoming &C.
quainted with these masterpieces.
In passing it may be we'll to call attention
