(Boni g. Liveright),
) by Rose Macaulay, is a book
which will certainly be as wide

which will certainly be as wide
ly read in this country as it
has been in England. 1t might very
readily have a tremendous vogue here
without attaining general popularity.
1t is not, as many have termed it,
great book; yet it is sufficiently diff
ferent from the average run of novels
to receive a fitting celebration in its
honor.
The first duty Of conscientious re
be to present sound and practical
definition of the term "pottcrism,' to
clear away any delusions which may
prevail linking the book with the man
ufacture of certain mud and clay OBJ
jects commonly called pottery. In no
sense of the word may Potterism be
described as a handbook for interior
decorators and landscape gardeners.
This should not be a disappointment to
many Earthenware has its place, Of
course, but in the pages of romantic
fiction it's possibilities are somewhat
limited.
Pottersm, as Rose Macaulay invents
it, is an expression denoting derision,
applied broadly by a little group of
serious thinkers to anything which
failed to meet with their approval. 1t
is the cant, the sentiment, the hy
pocrisy Of everyday life, accepting the
second rate, seeking popularity, avoid
ing truth.
In the authors phraseology:
"Potterism is all for short and easy
cuts and showy results. 1t plays q
game of crab all the timc-it snatches
at success. It's greedy. A certain
amount is a part of the makeup Of
nearly every human being; it has to
! be fought down like the notorious ape
and tiger. Worst Of all in
America, that great home of com
mcrce, success and the booming of the
secoHd rate
This represents only a small section
Of the philosophical findings Of a
group Of Oxford students who have
formed themselves into an anti-pot-
ter league to combat the influence Of
the Pottertes. Their business in life
is to seek out all potterism, brand it
as such and attempt to destroy it.
In the group are Johnny and Jane
Potter, twins whose parents unfortu-
natcly happen to be Potter, of the
powerful Potter Press, and Leila Yorke
Mrs. Potter), a popular novelist. The
Potter twins see no paradox in belong
ing to league which has for its chief
target the productions of their own
parents.
"Our family is responsible for more
than its share of the beastly thing"
the twins explain-"the least we can
do is to help down it,"
Other league members in good stand
ing include Arthur Gideon, half Russian
Jew, who has reverted to his family
name considering it a potterish act on
the part of his father to assume the
English disguise of Sidney; Laurence
luke, who has taken deacon's orders,
and Katherine Varick, interested in
chemical research

Broad In His Views

This is by no means, however, in
tended as an attack upon the literary
shortcomings of our business men, or
even weak attempt at subtle ridicule.
Between the talk of an American busi-
ness man and the talk of the tiresome
and often undervisioned professo onal
highbrow, there can be no comparison;
the former is not only broad in his
view, but he has the qualities devel-
oped through SO many reactions to an
environment charged with color and
intense activity. He is keen, frequently
witty, incislve and has flashes of pro-
fundity struck Off by contact with life
at first hand. He is, so to speak, ION
his own" and to develop, however
slowly, first class national culture
it is essential that any people should
first dig out Of its own soil the basic
elements Of that culture.
The danger lies beyond that point in
allowing ourselves to become too con-
centrated We have the authority Of a
great writer that "much study is q
weariness Of the flesh" Both Mon
taigne and our own Emerson have
pointed out the futility of books to

acters and plot, a delightful manner

Z7HOMAS L. MASSON editor of Life, is of the opinion it
'o"d oe ~1dlpomatlc to launch literary discus-
SION at q gathering Of business men

teach Us wisdom. There is a sense in
which reading is q luxury, to be treated
as such, and indulGed in only by those
who have the temperament for it.
Nevertheless there is much more to
be said on the other side English men
of affairs have a more genuine and
deeper-rooted culture than ours, and
this can be traced to a more careful
study of the classics. Their world en-
pirc has enlarged their views.
One might say that it is the rule
rather then the exception for British
statesmen to be authors. One has only
to think of Burke, DisraeN, Macaulay
and in our own age Lord Morley, Lord
Rosebery and Arthur Balfour.
Students of Our Time
The fact is that the highest type Of
material and constructive genius is the
outgrowth Of the student mind. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was an omnvorous
reader, always student, Marshal
Foch is student. Mr. Wilson, who
in spite Of the intense bitterness shown
toward him by our business men, will
loom larger as time goes on, is essen
TALLY student.
The impression that important books
are read more than they really are is
fostered, l think, by our discursive and
often intelligent reviewers who con
stantly remind US with such solemn
verbosity that another "epoch- making"
volume has at last arrived.
q sat up all night reading "
says one of these fervent and typo
graphically muscle bound gentlemen,
"and it grippcd mo as in vise'
Then there is the published list, in
literary journals, Of the books now
being read" in various cites, in the
order of merit or dcmcrit Last year
in February I was stirred to tebrlc ex-
citement to learn that in many of our
greatest centers of thought The Edu-
cation Of Henry Adams Was running a
close second to The Amazing Interlude
and o Money, Money! and that later
it was first Visions Of earnest people
standing on the street corners of ST.
Louis, Peoria and Chicago, discussing
this epoch maker in low monotoncs
were quite inevitable Yet by cautious
but careful subsequent questioning of
a number of literary people, I found
only four who had seen the book and
no one who had read it through One
friend-a prominent New York judge
told me that he had bought it lat con-
siderable expense and had taken it
South on his winter vacation for en-
lightenment and interest, and had
thrown it aside at the frs. quarter
stretch.

Super Specialists

This defect in our men Of affairs
and in spite of proper regard for their
great practical accomplishments still
think it may be termed ccfect-is
due to our universal habit OF attach
ment to our own ideas. The most
superficial observation must convince
us Of this fact We arc an intense peo-
pie and are rapidly evolving ourselves
into race of super specialists, for
which doubtless our hitherto geographic
cal isolation has been largely respon-
sible. Each one Of us is absorbed in
his own affairs, to the exclusion Of ev-
erything else. We are individually

Leslie Martin Stratton does not re-
member how he earned his first whole
dollar, but he does recall the day when
as years old he started to make
money at the rate of As cents a week as
newsboy in Lebanon, Tenn. After max
ing the As cents he turned 1t over to his
mother and it was with this that she
bought enough material to make him
two pairs of trousers.
Young Stratton, who was born in
Lebanon on Feb. %, 1881, soon began
to look about for better wages. He
then adopted a regular daily program.
Arising at o'clock, he handled laun-
dry route, at $3.50 he went to school,
during the noon recess he carried a
paper route and in the afternoon
worked in one of the stores until pm.
Coming to Memphis at the age of II,
he entered the employ of one of the
wholesale groceries, having the pleas
ant task Of rolling. sugar barrels and
other light work" Four years later
he was bookkeeper at the Cudahy Pack
ing company branch, of which he later
became manager. Growing tired of
this, he set up an Independent whole
sale provision house in the city. In
1904 he started the firm Of l.. M. STRAIT
ton &c Co., which is still in business
under the name of the EARLY Stratton
company. Association with r. D. War
rem led to his becoming affiliated with
the hardware company which now is
known as the Stratton- Warren COM
pany.
He is an enthusiast on work for a
Methodist hospital and headed the cam
paign for that institution. Leath's or
phanage and the Y. w. and Y. NJ, c. A.
are more of his hobbies. 1t is to these
and other city institutions that he de-
clares he would give $1,000,00O If he
were to make a donation.
Golf, eight children and his home
are his play-hour hobbies. One set of
twins occupy prominent part in the
proud fathership role. He declares he
is satisfied and would want nothing
better for a career should he have his
life to live over.
