began considering the short form

Victorian assumption that seri-
BUSINESS required bulk
After early adventures in the
short story form at the turn of
the century, she waited Is years,
until she had written nine more
novels, before offering another
short story in 1916. Others fol-
lowed in 1917, 1920, 1922, 1923 and
1924 then she stopped them.
Why did she turn to the short
story in the midst of success with
the novel? DR.. Meeker, showing
it was not a compelling reason,
suggests: Following World War
I. Miss Glasgow temporarily lost
her ability to compose on large
canvases, that is, lost her sense
of evolution. Her writings at this
point contain increasing refer
ences to world gone mad, I'M

deviations from human decency."
Disliked Form
She wrote: Il cannot write
short stories. They bore me ex-
cruciatingly. The whole technique
of the short story and the novel
is different. All the best of the
short stories must be painfully
condensed with slight regard for
the evolutionary causes bringing

for while" The first grade,
under the direction Of Miss Annie
Simpson, drilled to this snappy
tune.
Yankee Doodle became ia
nous during the Revolutionary
War and it is claimed that this
tune was used when CORVALLIS
surrendered at Yorktown. 1t be-
came a martial tune because of
its frequent use in wars. In the
Civil War it was popular and
many rollicking verses were add
ed. Mrs. Velma Flippen's second
grade danced to this tune.
Mark Barnes rendered an ac-
cOrdian solo. Listen to the Mock

diers on both sides, and Ruth and
Rebecca Black sang song Of
the sixties, "Goober Peas.
Such games and dances as
Jump Jim Crow" CAPTAIN
Jinks," 1.-The Virginia Reel" and
the polkaS were enjoyed during
this period. The third, fourth.
fifth and sixth grades performed
these dances under the direction
Of Miss Sallie Gates and Mrs.
Hardy. The students were clad
in colorful costumes of the era.
'Tenting Tonight on the Old
Camp Ground" was written in
1862. The words appealed to sol
diers and civilians in all parts
of the country. They seem to ex-
press the soldiers feeling in fac
ing the unknown in the morroW's

but they are the products of a
bold mind, Dr., Meeker points
out.
Hint Of Greatness
1T is unfortunate for the ar
tistic status of her short stories
that Ellen Glasgow did not con-
tinue to write them after 1924.
'Jordon's End gives us hint OF
what she might have done if she
had taken the short story as
seriously as she took the novel;
if she had not been so obsessed
with her social history of Vir-
ginia,' (which unfolded through
her novels" he said.
In 1924 she began her major
phase of writing in the field
of the novel and gave herself
over to it exclusively. Barren
Ground" followed in 1925. This,
together with 1.-The Sheltered
Life" 1892 and "Vein of Iron"
1935) remain unchallenged by
anything she wrote in the shorter
form.
DR.. Meeker concluded:
From our perspective today,
we can see that Ellen Glasgow
kept maturing stylistically, but
that her moral and social con-
ceptS Solidified in the middle of
the 1920's. The rebel of the nine
ties found herself the conserva-

less. the advice of Walter Hines
Page and her iron vein kept her
writing novels even after she had
lost faith in her readers, even
when she knew she was celebrat-
ing lost causes. For this she has
earned her status as Americas
leading woman novelist.
But her twelve short stories
prove that, contrary to what
Ellen Glasgow believed about
herself. her literary talents were
not confined to large-scale evolu-
tionary studies. This prejudice
she acquired from her early
models. She was fundamentally
a moralist rather than a his
torian. Her epigrams reveal
dazzling talent for condensation.
Her inclination towards irony
and paradox shows up particu-
larry well in a small space.

Why Ellen Glasgow's status as
a writer of the short story never
matched her prominence as
America S leading woman novel
list. despite every artistic endow-
men. for success in the shorter
literary form, was the critical
question propounded in DR.. Rich
ard x. Meeker's paper, The
Shadowy Stories of Ellen Glas-
gow,'' during the spring Insti-
tute of Southern Culture lectures
at Longwood College recently.
The LongWood associate pro-
fesSOr of English described the
gap in her two regulations by
pointing out that only a few criti-
cal paragraphs have been written
about the short stories of the
Richmond writer; that editors of
American anthologies have pass
ed her by with but a brief
glimpse, and that a partial col
lection of her own favorites. THE
Shadowy Third and Other Sto-
ries, published in 1928, has been
out of print for 80 years.

such neglect of Ellen Glasgow

Meeker said. setting second
purpose for his paper. He did not
answer the question directly, but,
by diagnosis of her themes. de-
voted chiefly to deep-lying moral
issues of her times. and by hint
ing at her skills in using the
short form, he led his hearers
to the unacceptable conclusion
that the neglect certainly is not
justified.

Primarily. however. Or. Meek
err devoted his paper to delineat-
ing those circumstances which
kept her dazzling talents from
ever being turned in full force
into her writing efforts on the
shorter form.
The first was the influence of
Walter Hines Page and Of her
times, both of which dictated, at
least to insure literary success,
the use of the novel length. After
her first novel was published in
1897. Page, then editor of the
Atlantic Monthly and potent
force on the American literary
scene, warned her not to waste

plants dropped 600 workers dur

sonal nature of the industry.
Employment in non-manufactur-

only 800 higher than in November,
1859 Temporary workers employ
ed inwholesale and retail estab-
lishments to supplement the reg
ular work force during the holiday

in government employees might
well be attributed to seasonal con-

Average weekly earnings in
manufacturing decreased 1894
during the month but were still
1892 greater than in November,
1859 Average weekly hours and
hourly earnings also decreased in
like proportion during the month
even though remaining above last
years levels. Durable goods re-
fiected the greatest overall drop
in average weekly earnings during
November with a $6.03 weekly de-
crease; however, non-durables
were down but $133. Less busi-
ness in primary metals and a large
decrease in overtime pay at an
automobile assembly plant in
transportation equipment were
leading factors in the sizeable de-
creases in earnings in these in
dustries. Seasonal factors in food
processing plants meant less earn
ings for workers. A sizeable re-
duction in overtime pay at two
large rubber and plastics plants al
so resulted in an overall $17.77
per week decrease in average pay
for workers in these industries. A
bright spot in the earnings pic
ture is the printing and publish
ing industry where increased hour
ly wages and a slightly longer
work week have resulted in work
ers receiving $5.94 more each week
for their labor in November than
in October. A slight industry wide
increase in earnings occurred in
chemical firms during the month
