RuIe. A. Fetters Or AZ Arnor.

Do rules act as letters to the spir-
It. or are they as an armor for defense
or for action? Much may be told Of
man by the way in which he reacts to
rules. To a young poet who aspired
to free verse" the advice was given
that II might be as well to learn the
rules OF meter. before violating them.
In Reynolds Discourses we find this
bit OF wise philosophy:
Every opportunity, therefore should
be taken to discountenance that false
and vulgar opinion, that rules are the
letters of genius. They are fetter only
to men OF no genius; as that armor.
which upon strong is an ornament OF
defense, upon the weak and misshapen
becomes a load and cripples the body
which II was made to protect.
So much reaction against rules and
against the precepts of wisdom and
experience is seen today, that 1t might
be well more often to examine the
reasons that underlie them. 1t is not
frequently enough pointed out that
rules and commandments are not laid
down by the elders to prevent youth
from having a good time, but that
they are the result of experience and

are not given to baffle youth, but to
prevent the inexperienced from having
bad time. without them the young
would have to experiment and observe
| for themselves, and would have to go
| through the fire 20 discover that Y
burned.
Experience and observation show
| that killing, stealing, lying, commit
ting adultery. coveting the belongings
/ OF another result in trouble of all
\ kinds, in sickness, in remorse and in
sorrow. Rules are laid down by the
wise which, II followed, enable the
new generation 10 escape much of the
troubles the older ones have exper-
fenced
| AS in the case OF the person eager TO
! violate the rules of poetry, would II
| not be better to learn the laws Of life
and tho reasons at the basis of them,
| before starting out so fiippantly to
violate them?
Rules are never the letters OF genius
nor OF the young. They are the armor
that both protects and enables one to
put up strong defense against the
woes OF life and 10 conquer in its
manifold struggles. The Strong and
successful soldiers know and practice
laws Of war. II is the foolish mob that
rushes blindly on the machine gun
nests.

DERIVING the Commandments, he will
keep them. II he sees the reason Of
rules, he will obey them. Unless, Of
course, he is ono OF the foolish who
are always rushing headlong toward
trouble.

Then he tried II on his own bald

worked Whereupon he proceeded
to work the credulous and hair
