CIR JAMES BARRIE considers
that an average Of five to six hun
dred words is a good days work,
whereas II. G.. Wells has often writ
ten ten thousand words in a day.
1t might be thought that speed
would be destructive of good quality
production, but a sufficient retort is
made to this in the fact that Robert
Louis Stevenson wrote "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. HYDE" in seven days.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has con-
fessed to sitting up all night in order
to incorporate in one OF his sherlock
Holmes" adventures incidents that
had unfolded themselves during a con-
versation and discussion with several
friends earlier in the evening. w.
w. Jacobs, prolific short-story writer
that he is, has admitted that he has
sat at his desk whole morning pen in
hand without writing a word.

fear Of the dark Is sign Of eowardice,

the most ill-advised, often cruel, and
always disastrous methods.
1t Is not a question Of cowardice at
all; the bravest iof men are often
afraid. A timid child must be treated
alphabetically and tactfully; It is
impossible to bully his terror Of un-
