Noted English Writer
Won't "Play" Typewriter

When was in London in 1923 John
Galsworthy showed me the manu-
scripts of nearly all his books. He
cannot dictate and cannot play the
typewriter; thus they are all in pen
and ink, and their commercial value
must be prodigious.
Prof. Carlton Wells of the Univer
sity of Michigan calls my attention
to an article in a review, quoting
the Manchester Guardian, as follows:
'They are worth a small fortune
and they are certain to appreciate
greatly in years - come. No other
English writer, with the possible ex-
ception of Shaw, has such a vogue
abroad, and almost every month sees
an advance in the prices of his first
editions.
"Galsworthy is one of the few
modern authors who write everything
In their own hand. He once told
me that he found it impossible to
think with typewriter in front of
him, and he raised his eyes in mock
horror when 1 mentioned the dicta-
phone.

writer has raised the question as
to why the notices on coat armOr
and public shields, graduation diplo-
mas, etc., are in Latin and not in
English. There is something in the
point so far as recent creations are
concerned. and If modern private in
dIviduals or public bodies want to dis
play some profound truth on shield
there are reasons why 1t should be
done in English; sometimes it is. The
reason for so many Latin notices goes
back to the foundations of civic life
in Great Britain. The elegance of the
Latin tongue apart. it was up to three
centuries ago, an instrument of gov
eminent, the language, too, of affairs,
and the recognized means of commu-
nication between the educated classes
of Europe. 1t is not so now. but the
