To people who prate of the development of self
expression and who never pause to define the
meaning of word, the results of self-expression
are never unlovely stupid or foolish. To them it
is easily discernible evidence of sort of
worthwhile art; at the worst something of in
tangible benefit to the human race. AS matter
of fact, in the end it SINNERS down to two things

not be admitted as evidence that Improvement to

His reply was for us all:

some unkind realist-too true to life-added that

Neanderthal man quickly become convinced that
they are barking up the wrong tree. They accept
the criticism of critics who have reached the top
in any of these arts for the reason that they are
soon made aware that success, even If one be born

of study and sacrifice And only truly great souls
are ready to do that.

sterner stuff To such person writing is merely
writing; they have been to school and have learned
to write They know that Cat spells cat; they
have heard wildly exaggerated tales OF the for
tunes made by successful authors and the honors
and envy heaped upon them, SO, since the wish is
father to the thought, they decide to do little
writing themselves.

twenty years to grow up and get rid of your monu

it. You haven't any more talent for writing than
pig has for creative chemistry"
Is that boy.discouraged? He is not. His vast ego
will not permit him to admit that he be
wrong in anything. So he continues his hopeless
effort to win literary fame for the remainder of
his life, in most cases. suppose it pleasures him
considerably to give expression to his creative urge
and because he is mentally purblind, he does not
realize that his pitifu brainchild is monstrosity
any more than my young friend realizes that SLOW

expression of his mothers stupidity.
