Letters from all over the cotton

Hardy's Workmanship

of his trade. ! will not say that he did
not write Cor an ideal But he did not
set up an ideal without regard for the
views of the reading world. He did not
live in an ivory tower. The novel he con-
ceived of as a piece of work for the en-
tertainment of readers He produced for
consumption. He was bent on doing good
work. but he was likewise determined TO
make success. He was a regular crafts
man. like Dickens working for the success
of his popular magazines; like Shake
speare, actor and manager, working over
popular plays for the Kings company,
having in mind the motley audiences of
the Rose and the Globe"
Mr.. Beach classifies the novels in their
divisions. In Part One; Progress in Art
he includes Desperate Remedies" as a
work of ingenuity. "A Pair of Blue Eyes"
as irony; Far From the Madding Crowd"
as largely a matter of stage setting, and
THE Return of the Native" as drama.
In Part Two; More Craft Than Art" he
includes eight novels as relapse; "The
Mayor of Casterbridge" is "a movie" and
1.-THE Woodlanders'' "a chronicle" And
in Part Three; Art and Craft at One" he
sets Tess of the D'Urbervilles" as a study
in pity, and Jude the Obscure" as piece
of truth.
Mr.. Beach is clearly so great an en-
thusiast in the study of this master
novelist that his delight in turning up all
the odd corners of the field is often con-
tagious The characters of all the novels
pass and repass a score of times through
his sitting and weighing of motives and
probabilities. He philosophers upon de-
tails of Hardy's philosophy. and splits
hairs with his author in respect of the
reasonabeness of sundry scenes and
actions. And he finds i'm his gradual
progress "a gradual and triumphant sub
ordination of artifice to art. The
moral is obvious: 1t was not till he had
mastered the art of novel writing that he
really learned his craft

THE TECHNIQUE OF THOMAS HARDY.
BY Joseph Warren Beach. University OF
Chicago Press.
THE author Of this enthusiastic bit
of tilling a field which he him
self declares is almost uncultivated
remarks that his study of Hardy's novels
is confined almost exclusively to their
technique. with little attention to matters
of subject matter, style or social signifi-
cance upon which so much discriminating
comment has been lavished.
I'm the case of Hardy says he, "tho
reader must often wonder whether he was
a deliberate structural artist, whether the
occasional greatness of his work was not
rather the result of a technique which
came to him, as we say, by inspiration. and
whether, indeed, the unfailing charm of his
work, in whatever degree of greatness. is
not something independent of questions
of technique. But structural art
is a more important matter than it has
been generally considered; the work of
Hardy, like that of Meredith, suffered de-
cidedly from the typical Victorian indif
ference to it,
Mr.. Beach shows some impatience with
Hardy's uneveness. After he has found
his own rich vein,' says he, in Far From
the Madding Crowd" to undertake that
abortive experiment in comedy 'The
Hand of Ethelberta'; after he had pro-
duced the Sophoclean drama of The Ma
tive" to indulge in the almost childish
melodrama of "A Laodicean!" Mr.. Beach
notes Hardy's outspoken structures upon
some of his own work, and remarks: 81
fancy that Mr.. Hardy, il he felt free to
express an opinion, would be likely to pass
more severe judgment upon certain of his
performances than any of his readers. {.
He knows."
The essayist declares that "Mr. Hardy
never did get far out of range of his
public" And he continues: 1T is clear
that he did not disdain the inherited tools

" AKING these five books together at
least demonstrates the futility of
any large attempt at standardiza-
ton or uniformity in popular education
Each deals with a particular corner of the
whole field and touches only incidentally
upon the general problem, but each has
definite bearing upon that problem. 1t
needs no demonstration to show that the
enlightenment of neglected Kentucky
mountaineers, most of them adult, calls
for something other than the methods pos
sible for summer kindergarten or natu-
ralstic school for the children of wealthy
parents. But, going deeper than the super
fetal differences, it may be asked whether
there is not a basic principle covering
methods which may be capable of nearly
universal application. Probably most pro-
gressive students of education will answer
that there is such a basis and that it is
to be found in so-called psychological"
methods in place of the bad old system
of rigid authority and hard ddactic i'm
position of tasks The distinction lies, they
say. between attempting merely to inn
part information and attempting to draw
out, to educate Tin the primary meaning
of the word) the latent possibility Of
achievement in the pupil.
There can be no doubt but that the anti
didactic school has much the best of it, and
has had ever since Froebel's day. But it
needs a corrective inasmuch as the unre-

mains in need of some discipline, and ii,
unfortunately, remains true that there is
still no royal road to learning. OF course
the result is always practical compro-

operation on any large scale. But in the
case of select small units the progressive
innovations may show to signal advantage,
as in the tests of the Dalton Plan" re-

set back in Liverpool quotations did
a good deal to force the wheat mar
start.
Hedging sales of the new crop were
the heaviest yet witnessed and there
was also selling pressure on foreign

fined chiefly to shorts. Exporters
were said to have filled their most ur-
gent requirements and to be inclined
to hold off as much as possible from

New York, July 31.-There was a
more confident feeling in evidence to-
day with respect to an early settle
ment Of domestic labor troubles and
this was reflected in some good buying
in the rail department OF the list and
also in several sections of the indus
trial group. United States and other
steel shares were in good demand as
were also many of the equipment
shares such as Baldwin and american
Locomotive. Domestic oils displayed a
tendency to recovery from the pressure
to which they had been subjected dur-
ing the greater part of last week. The
news of placing of ~Studebaker COM
mon issue on a 10 per cent basis to-
gether with the declaration OF an extra
dividend was favorably received but
had no immediate effect on the gen
eral list. Some price reductions in tires
were announced and some of the rub
Der and tire shares were slightly reac-

of attention is being directed to the

next few days are expected to have an
important bearish effect on the price
tendency in the securities market.-Lo-
