ture of the settlement had done as much
as this intolerant spirit to prevent them,
for the houses and plantations were scat
tered, and there was no town or village life
in Virginia. The New Englanders, on the
other hand, established schools almost as
soon as they had built themselves huts
and churches, for they were not only
democratic but they believed that each
man should know enough to read the Bible
and work out his own salvation. Rhode
Island was the only colony that did not
compel the education of children. Unless
schools and colleges flourish" thundered
one of the Puritan leaders, "the church
and State cannot live!" Every town of
fifty families must provide a common
school,: of one hundred families. a gram
mar school also. Four years after it was
established the Bay Colony gave over one
half of it's entire annual income to found
the school which two years later became
Harvard College. 1t was the first time in
all history that a body of people voted it's
own money to found place of education.
Yet. no more than the Virginians did they
propose to have any ideas in the colony
which were not their own.
Although they had come to America for
liberty of thought and because they dis
agreed with the established church at home
they expelled Roger Williams to Rhode
Island for thinking his own way and af-
firming that there should not be any ma
tional church. 1t was the same with the
printing press. Though they set up one
at Harvard, for a quarter of century
its output was entirely controlled by the
president, and when he permitted the pub
lication of certain books which tended ito
open the doors to heresy' they appointed
two hcensers without whose consent no
books could be printed and allowed no
other press in the colony. To them any
change whatever opened the doors to
heresy. One of the books which had called
down their wrath was only a protest
against the nauseous but absurd medicines
then in fashion. 1t was "a most desperate

had anything to do with the first books

script and printed in England. Both of
them were written by men of the Virginia
Colony, and hardly anything else of i'm
portance was written there until the days
of the Revolution, more than a hundred
and fifty years after. This may have been
chiefly because of the lack of printing
presses and because the population was so
scattered. If you had been born in Virginia

Sometimes he was the guest and some
times the captive of the Indians And 1t
is by story he tells on one of these occa-

pioneers are most widely remembered. In
this book he mentions being captured and
taken before a friendly Indian chief named
Powhatan, whose daughter. a mere chiId

this time Smith was living in
London in poverty and OBJ
scurity, and he wrote a letter
to Queen Anne in which he
mentions for the first time
that this Indian Princess"
had saved his life, although in
his book she had been a mere
child and her father had
treated him in a very friendly
fashion. So it looks as if Capt.
John were telling a tall story
merely to connect his name
with a person who was being
much talked about. For the
captain, brave and competent
as he was, resembled a movie

could not bear to stay long
out of the limelight.
But what II the most ire

American literature was precisely the op-

lures of the world, the English and the
French, the Latin and the Greek, were the
ones that just grew. They grew out of
folk tales and folk songs composed by word
of mouth and told by one generation to the
next until writing was invented and they
were set down by people to read, These

At the time these first immigrants came
England was on the threshold of her great
civil war, which ended in the execution of
the King and in the rule of the Common
wealth under Oliver Cromwell 1t was a
war between the cavaliers and the round
heads; that is, between the royalists. who
wanted the King and the established
church, and the Puritans. who wanted to
set up church of their own, one separate
from the State. The early ships to Amer
ica brought men of both kinds. The roy
alists came first, and to Virginia. The
Puritans came a little later, and to Massa
chusetts. But while the Puritans had left
home to secure a liberty they could not
find elsewhere. the royalists came only to
seek their fortunes in lcnd supposed to
be full of gold. So the royalists COR the
most part intended to return when they
had filled their pockets, but the Puritans
intended to stay. As they differed in their
Intentions, so they differed in their natures
