Folklore Keeps
The Past Alive

FOLKLORE KEEPS THE
PAST ALIVE. Arthur Palmer
Hudson. University of Georgia
Press. $3.50. 63 Pages.
DR.. Arthur Hudson has been
for some time one of the South'S
most Unsuitable seekers of au-
thentic folklore, particularly folk
songs. He has devoted a scholars
attention to their collection, study
and performance, and his repu-
tation and influence reach into
the upper brackets of folksinging.
His Carolina Folk Festival, held
at the University each year, is
one of the nations best.
The University of Georgia
Press has published three of his
lectures, delivered at Mercer
University last year as the 1861
Eugenia Dorothy Blount Lamar
Memorial Lectures.
FolkSongs are a record Of hui
manity, and in a day before
books and writing were available
in the backwoods, became the
historical records Of the unletter-
ed. The history of lands and re-
gionS often survived only in folk
song, and the student Of the songs
is the student of a past that had
no historian to write about it.
In his best style DR.. Hudson
gives a simple but illuminating
and enthusiastic brief for the i'm
portance of the folk song, both in
terms of its beauty and charm
and its ability TO invoke forgot
ten times and unrecorded events.
His three lectures will in all
likelihood be read time and again
by folkloristS and folkSOng ell
thuSiastS.-W.H.S.

those of the grownup world but
whose capacities are flawed by
hunger and pain.
The girl permits herself to be
led to an abandoned cabin only
recently used for cattle. There
is straw, protection from the
wind, warmth of a sort, and a
nativity scene seems in the max
ing. Fortunately for the reader
who is painfully aware that ma
tivities are a glut on the market,
things take a turn for the worse.

It is a bitter little tale, but
war seen throuh the eyes OF the
young is not meant to be a lark
in the meadow. Mr.. Marion has
given the conflict an unusual new
treatment, and if he has failed
to make it good, the fault lies
not in the intensity of the effort
but in the unaccustomed use OF
literary tools that were not his
by birth and tradition.
With a bit more practice and
less reliance on the overworked

GS. ~
Gregory Marion, a Hungarian
expatriate now living in Austral-
ia, has proved once again that
command Of English can be cas-
lily enough accomplished for the
ambitious foreigner to become a
published author. Few English
or Americans have ever tried
the reverse with any degree of
success.
Mr.. Marton'S svelte little vol
me is an intense effort to write
about people and emotions. He
hasn't done a bad job, perhaps
a better one than many of his
new compatriots. but it is new
ertheless a JOB, not a work OF
art.
The Hungarian revolution of
1856 is over, and the losers are
burying their dead, or being bur-
led. Fugitives are still making
their way west as the first bliz-
zard of the winter gathers for
the attack. For two fugitives it
may be bad, but its fury will
protect them from the soldiers.
They meet in a state-owned res
taurant where one of them, a
boy of 13, has paid for a meal

were Russians who farmed large
tracts in which each held COM
mon stock but owned no land in
outright division. There were
Germans and Bohemians, all OF
whom evoked Mrs. Wilder's ad-
miration, and gratitude. There
were no hotels, no restaurants,
and what the travellers ate they
were given or they bartered for.
Practically every inch Of South
Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas
she saw, Mrs. Wilder could give
land values per acre, annual
mean rainfall and productivity.
Every inch was seen in terms OF
a possible home, and for this rea-
son it received a penetrating
scrutiny.
Mrs. Wilder probably meant to
do nothing more than keep a
diary similar to those Of a mil
lion other women Of that day. but
her modest gift Of observation
and recording left a picture OF
pioneer, half tanned midwest
America that disappeared before
anyone could get a line around
it and tie it up for poSterity.
Because she made her trip by
wagon, taking almost a month
and a half to cover ground that
would require scarcely two days
today, her account is more richly
detailed with the people and the
nature of the land than a geo.
graphy. She had an eye for col
ors and variations not unlike that
of Grandma Moses, and she re-
corded a way Of life that had
vanished fifty years after it be-
gan.
Her thin little diary makes a
charming tintype.-W.H.S.

THE CO N NJ u NIFTY OF
SCHOLARS. Paul Goodman.
Random House. $S.95. 175
Pages.
By ROBERT B. HOUSE
Can you go forward by going
backward? This is a question
raised in the mind of the read
er by DR.. Goodman's critique of
the status of higher education.
Gilbert X. Chesterton says we
can go forward by going back to
ideals held in the past; for, he
says, it is false to assume that
all the best ideals are held in
the present or will come in the
future; some of them are an
cient.
Thomas Jefferson cOunsels a
frequent return to first princi-
pies. DIR. Goodman is a great
admirer of Thomas Jefferson and
the strongest element in his
thesis is that the concept of a
university needs Qualification.
The basic concept of a umiversi-

pendence as a novelist, although
he was making progress.
In an analysis of "The Party at
Jacks" DR.. Kennedy concludes
that Wolfe had managed to con-
troll multiplicity, give form and
significance to ideas that emerge
through symbol and image, char
acter and actiOn-in other words,
to perform the novelist's func-
ton, with discipline. This seems
to be a rather optimistic analy-
sis, however, since the last manu-
script Wolfe submitted to his
editor was as chaotic and as
much in need of editorial disci-
pline as the first had been.
DR.. Kennedy tends to show
through a side-by-side compari-
son of Wolfe's raw manuscript
and the published version that
Wolfe's writings suffered through
the creative editing of Edward
AsWell of Harper's. In particu-
lar instances, this undoubtedly
was the case. At the same time,
DR.. Kennedy pays tribute to Mr..
Aswell for giving continuity and
conference to Wolfe's work, all
of which adds up to saying he
needed it here but he didn't need
it there. 1t doesn't alter the fact
that Wolfe remained in dire need
of editing.
DR.. Kennedy doesn't by any
means answer all of the queS-
tions concerning Wolfe as an ar
tist, but he does offer an over
whelming amount of evidence,
conflicting though some of it may
be.
AS a study of Thomas Wolfe's
literary career, which is all that
DR.. Kennedy claims to offer, "A
Window of Memory" is a very
special piece of work, far and
away the best that has been done
on Wolfe yet. 1t has all the trap
pings of an academic work but
reads like an exceptionally good
novel. For real Wolfe fans, it's
must reading.

Robert Watson, distinguished
young poet from Woman's Col
lege, has been selected to read
for the fall session of The Poetry
Circuit in North Carolina.
The Poetry Circuit, established
in 1861 under the sponsorship of
The University Press, brings in
to the State two poets each aca-
demic year for readings Of their
own works at eight participating
institutions of higher education.
Mr.. Watson is the author OF
"a Paper Horse" published by
Atheneum last spring which was
his first book Of verse. 1t was
widely acclaimed by reviewers
throughout the country. a native
of New Jersey, he studied at Will
liams College and Johns Hopkins
University. He has since attended
the University of Zurich as a
Swiss4American exchange fellow.
He is associate professor of Eng
lish at the Woman's College.
Mr.. Watson is the first North
Carolinian to read on the Cir
cult. Howard Webber, editor-in-
chief of The University Press and
founder of the Circuit, said of
this departure, Circuit poets
are chosen from among the best
young poets in the country. MIR.

Veblen tlooked up in an encyclo-
pedia by the reviewer, who
seems to consider Society as
criminal in purpose and sick
from its criminality.
AS TO education, Society eX-
ploits youth by planting ad-
miniSration in it as the axe
man. A number of chapters drive
home the point. No administra-
tion is right; not COnant, not
Hutchins, though jefferson, who
was a uper-administrator, meant
well, Even john Marshall evaded
the main point in the Dartmouth
College case.
There is, in a word, no hope
in the establishment, no likely
reform in sight, and the frus-
trated students might better quit
college outright than to hang
around in a Sub-culture that rang
eS from sex revoltS through hy-
pocriSy to mononucleoSis.
Reform is unlikely: secession
is the only available remedy. Let
five professors who are uncon-
taminated secede and take a few
congenial students with them,
settle near a university where
they can get library and other
neceSsarieS, associate with them
five veteran professional practi-
TONERS of the essential arts and
techniqueS and start all over.
But there is little hope of sue
cess. They are too free-wheeling
to get a charter and give degrees.
They are apt to come to grief be-
cause the Establishment will not
let them do as they please
(Which is education) and get aca-
demic credit for it.
Therefore the only resource
left is the spirit. Ultimately the
spirit of man cannot be perma-
nently cramped by brutal admin
istrators and corrupted profess
sorS. I
This conclusion is vaguely in
timated. 1t contains the only pos
tive element in the book. The
author has set up a straw man,
has demolished him, and has re-
tired to his corner.
He has denied health and hui
manity to everybody in educa-
tion except his own kind of dog
matiSt. He is unrepresentative
of teachers, narrowly selective
in his survey of students and
blindly hostile to administrators.
Others in the field have the
spirit as well as he, and they
can sing a better song from hap
pier examples.
DR.. Goldman is a manifestly
intelligent man, and he must
clearly have intended the number
of absurd propositions he sets
forth as an irrant. DR.. Gold
mans purpose is probably to stir
up thought. In this purpose, if
it is his, he is successful.
Any imperfection in this review
should be charged to the corrupt
nature of the reviewer. He has
been in Administration.

tus Of the University.

An Eye For Color
& Rich Variations

ON THE WAY HOME. Laura
Ingalls, Wilder. Harper &c Row.
$2.95. 101 Pages.
Laura ingalls, Wilder grew up
on the prairies of the Midwest
in the late nineteenth century,
not too long after they had been
tanned and freed of Indians.
Married to a farmer who had
tried his hand in southeastern
South Dakota and found extra
hard work no substitute for luck,
she had the sharp eye and re-
tentive memory of the primitive,
together with the urge to write
it all down.
When she and her husband
were flattened by crop failure
and diptheria, they decided to
make the best of it and move
once and for all for Missouri. 1t
was an era of panics and crop
failures and droughts. The FAM
cd Coxie's Armies were still
sweeping eastward toward Wash
ington, stealing and looting and
demanding square deal for the
workingman.
1t was a journey Of $50 miles
from their farmstesd in De Smet,
South Dakota to Mansfield, Mis-
souri,, and there was only one
way to make the trip in 1894.
Packing children and furniture
IN a two-horse wagon, they set
out. There we're no hazards such
as had greeted the pioneers who
settled the land-no Indians, no
buffalo, no lack of food.
AS they Travelled, Laura Wilder
recorded what she saw that she
regarded important - the crops,
the houses, the people. There

MIR. Thurber writes about fud-
died women at parties, Ohio, am
ateur dream analysis, and THE
Thing at which he is clearly
land Enthusiastically angry
cit invades the world and mind
of Man, inhabits headlines, feeds
on limelight, and attacks its prey
in the dark").
"Credos" is an engaging book.
1t is worth reading. Actually, it
is worth keeping; Thurber us
ually re-reads we'll after years.
The Thurber in F'Credos" may
not be the man his addicts are
accustomed to, however. While
"CredoS" is worth having, it is
worth having for Slightly differ
ent reasons than are Mr.. Thur
ber's other books (which are also
worth having; think of the chill
dren). James Thurber dimmed
in his later years. Comparing the
abandoned hilarity of his early
work with the furrowed-brow at
mosphere in some Of the 'Cre-
dos," it might almost be said
that James Thurber Suddenly
Got Sick of 1t All. 1t is hard to
say whether this is literally true
though certainly he must have
grown weary of going steadily
binder and binder. But there is
a note of sourness in the late
Thurber, as if he had reached
the point of diminishing returns
with too much of a good thing.
Mrs. Thurber comments, ITO
those who may feel that a few
of the recent pieces, written dur
ing the last year Of my husbands
life, reveal some bitterness and
disilusion with the world, i can
only say that it was not too
long before his death that he
wrote the lines: Let us not look
back in anger, nor forward in
fear, but around in aWarenesS.'
He showed all three at times
= anger certainly, fear perhaps
= but he always put awareneSs
above the others. That, 1 think,
is the real key. :"
1t is always sad when the
clown stops smiling; when the
humorist attacks hunor ('with-
out satire no civilization can be
truly described or benefited. We
could name many names, from
Voltaire to Swift, before we ran
into the modern morbid play
wrightS and sex novelistS, who
are more interested in the sordid
corners of life than in the hum
an heart''). But sadness is itself
sometimes a satire = it does not
matter whether it was James
Thurber's or his wife's hand that
put Dylan Thomas "And death
shall have no dominion. :"
in the front of the book, but the
effect is there.
Elsewhere in the book the eer-
lie, smiling touch appears again.
At the end of a piece about
George S. kaufman is short
verse Mr.. Thurber paraphraSed
to characterize his feeling about
kaufman. He seems to fit into
it too.

CREDOS AND CURIOS.
James Thmwber, aOith a fore
qUord By Helen Tharber. Harp
or and RoaO. 1SO Pages. $S.95.
By j. A. C. DUNN
Among the scattered notes
that l found after my husbands
death were a few sheets of vel
low paper, covered with his fa-
miliar and almost illegible scrawl
and listing future pieces and
projects -. On one sheet, alone
and looking very lonely, were
the words 'Credos and Curios.'
Another contained the contents
page of what was to be his next
book. With these two sheets as
my guide, l have put together, as
far as | was able, this collec-
tion.''
So writes Mrs. James Thurber
in what hopefully will not be the
last words written about her
late husband.
Some of the pieces on the
list were never finished" she
adds, land some, alas, existed
only in my husbands mind and
memory"
Some scholar may one day
speculate in a searching, we'll
foOtn0ted treatise on what went
with James Thurber to the grave.
Meanwhile, we have only Gre
dos and Curios" to serve as the
final nudges from a "tall, ner-
vouS man," as Mr.. Thurber de-
scribed himself, a man who lov-
ed the world as much as he low
ed to sit back and poke at it
with his toe, as you might poke
errant embers in fireplace.
1t is not easy to tell which of
the books 81 short pieces are
credoS and which are curioS. A
personal belief can be at least
squeezed from each, and none
of them is ordinary. They vary.
There is 'Menaces In May"
an impressionistic piece of writ
ing which reads like an outline
for a short story; and there is
"E.B.W.," a short, tender, men,
orably affectionate piece about
E. B. White.
Between these extremes Mr..
Thurber writes about his note
books ("There is actually only
one notebook It is a note

keep, in Professor Weiss's psy-
chology class at Ohio State Uni
