was rich enough to have school come to
you, in the shape of a private tutor If
this was the case, then you could have
sons attended. But in spite of the common
lack of education the Southern provinces
supplied in Revolutionary times, the best
of the statesmen, orators and Generals.
So, during this long rest from literary
production. Virginia was breeding a race
of men who were learning how to mix with
men.
Both of these books are in the nature
of reports written for the people at home.
The second one must have come to the
attention of a man whom the world now
looks upon as the principal person in Eng
voyage and shipwreck must certainly have
given Shakespeare some ideas for THE
Tempest" the last of his long series of
plays. The earlier book is the one which
gives us 1907 as the exact date for the
birth of our literature. 1t was written by
Capt. John Smith, who may himself have
known Shakespeare as he had written a
play in London before he joined the expedi-
tion. 1t would be wrong, however, to say
that the first American book was written
by an American. For although the "True
Relation of Virginia" was written by this
busy man during the first thirteen months
of his stay about events that took place
under his eyes, he did not stay long
Capt. John Smith was a soldier of for
tune. Though only 27 he had already lived
a life as full of dashing and romantic ad-
venture as that of a motion picture hero
On his travels through Europe he had had
as many hair breadth escapes as would
make breathless endings to a dozen epi-
sodes in one of those pictures which are
artfully continued from week to week He
had been cast overheard at sea, he had
been rescued from the Bashaw of Tartary,
he had been the favorite of a princess at
Constantinople; and he had returned to
England from hewing his way through the
world with his sword, just I'm time to cast

from whom people liked to
feel they had taken their be-
ginning. But in our first
books there were no tales OF
dragons and mighty men slay-
ing them. They are not sto-
ries of romantic fancy but rec
ords of hard facts. They were
written by men who came
across the sea to fight for a
foothold along the coast of a
hitherto unknown country and
here, ak in hand and gun
beside them. they built up
struggling colonies among the
Indians in the wilderness.
But perhaps it would be
better to say that our litera-
ture was born grown up. For
in another way its beginning
differed from the beginnings
of other literature. The men
who made it were not simple
people slowly emerging from
Darbarism. They were highly
civilized and they had just
come from a country where
were living at that moment
some of the greatest writers
or all history. The ships that
carried the first immigrants
to America carried more other
people OF the highest educa-
ton than could perhaps have
been found in any groups cf
the same size and makeup
The New York herald., 1922-10-15

But they carried no persons who felt
the need of expressing themselves in
books. Books were written and written
surprisingly soon, but they were written
not for their own sake-which is the way
what we call great literature is written
but for the sake of something else. The
immigrants were of the same stock as
those who were producing at that time
great plays and great poems; but the peo-
pie who had the talent and the desire to
produce these naturally stayed at home.
One does not go to a savage wilderness
to write. John Milton was a Puritan and
the same motives that brought the other
Puritans to America might well have
brought him too-as indeed they came
near bringing Oliver Cromwell himself,
for he was about to come with his friend
Winthrop when he was prevented. But
had Milton, with all his genius. come to
New England, we can be sure that We
should have had no Paradise Lost" For
there were too many practical needs and
hardships in the wilderness to occupy and
distract him.
