HAWTHORNE


After residence Of about four years
at Concord, Hawthorne moved again TO
Salem, where he had been appointed as
surveyor Of the custom house at that
port He filled the position until change
OF administrator led to his retirement
He seems to have written little during his
official term; but. having some leisure,
he read much and pondered over subjects
for future stories
While at the custom house he found.
among some old papers. a large letter
"a embroidered on red cloth, and spec
ulating upon the origin and history Of the
letter. his ina gination was so stirred, that
upon his retirement from office he wrote
The Scarlet Letter"
Hawthorne was for years the most OBJ
scure OF American writers. though he
gradually acquired many quiet admirers
His first recognition came from England.
where his genius was discovered by Henry
F. Chorly, one Of the editors OF the
'Atheneum-" But the powerful romance
Of The Scarlet Letter set at rest at
once any doubt there may have been as
TO the genius OF Nathaniel Hawthorne
His shorter stories are remarkable for
their originality But in some Of the
longer stories he showed how deeply he
pondered the great problems Of life In
depicting the characters which move
through his works
He inherited the gravity Of his Puri-
tan ancestors and was said to be "a
great anatomfst Of the human heart"

French Schools
Open to Soldiers

A most unusual educational op-
portunity for our soldiers in France
is being provided by the French gov
eminent through Andre Tardieu,
high commissioner Of Franco-Ameri-
can Affairs. Due to the length Of
time it will take to transport our
troops home. again, and also to the
fact that many thousands of our soI-
diers will remain in Europe for a
considerable period, the French gov
eminent is opening the schools of
France to these men.
The college men in our army who
remain in France will be given free
access to the French universities,
where they may continue their
studies in art, science, law, etc. The
agricultural and technical schools of
France, with their complete Libraries
and splendidly equipped laboratories,
will also be open to them. It is pro-
posed to establish at each school at
tended by our soldiers at least one
American professor, who will lecture
to them in English on topics in which
he has specialized. It is also pro-
posed by the French government that
all Of our troops be given an Oppor-
tunity to learn the French language,
and for this purpose French teachers
are to be placed at the disposal Of
our forces and will visit the various
camps and lecture in French and
English on questions of interest.
