Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Dear Mr. Warren:

I am enclosing a typed copy of my review of
Democracy and the Curriculum. I hope sending it to you now
gives sufficient time before your dead line for considering
any changes you may wish to have made in the article. After
all, I recognise that we are both working blind in this matter
since I have not previously done anything for the Southern
Review. Further, the essay I have written is longer than
what you suggested in your last letter. I think you will
find the style, however, reasonably compact and concise, so that
any shortening must be done by cutting out sections. Naturally
I hope you will print the review as it stands, but its fate
in that respect must await your reading it. If parts have to
be cut, I hope I can participate in the operation.

I have given the review no title save that of the
book. You may wish to use a title of a different type and
I imagine you can select a better title than I can.

Letters for me should be sent here where I am teaching
for the summer quarter, that is, until August 25th.

Dear Mr. Erskine:

I am returning the corrected proof of my essay. May I express to you my appreciation of the excellence of the printing. As you can see, corrections are few. I hope the ones I made can be understood, although I am aware that I do not know all the correct signs for proof reading. One minor matter you can judge better than I. It is the correct form for the word 'teachers' in the title 'Teachers College'. It appeared in two forms both in my ms. and in the proof. I finally decided in favor of *TEACHERS* as a college name. If it should be in other form, will you please change it? The title occurs line 4, galley I, and line 6, last paragraph, galley I.

Will it be possible for me to obtain any off-prints
of this essay? I hope so. Please let me know the cost of
say 50.

I shall be here until September 21st, thereafter at the
University of Cincinnati.

Mr. Cleanthe Brooks, Jr.
The Southern Review
University, Louisiana

Dear Mr. Brooks:

I hope you will be able to clear up a few matters for
me now that I have returned to my office. Can you tell
me whether I have renewed my subscription to the Southern
Review or not?

I know that Mr. David Howe of Burlington, Vermont, ar-
ranged with you for reprints of my Southern Review art-
icle "Democracy and the Curriculum". As a result of the
distribution he gave to that article, I am now receiving
requests for additional copies. Can you tell me whether
you have any? Should I refer those who ask for copies to
the Southern Review or to Mr. Howe?

Someone told me that he had seen a recent announcement of
the syposium to which I had originally planned to contrib-
ute, and that my name was still included. This I assume
must be an error, unless you are expecting me to write
something for you at a later date. *Out au yeu ?*

Please accept from me my regret that I was unable to ful-
fill your original request.

My dear Mr. Brooks:

Since the Southern Review has published two contributions from me, I am presuming on your generosity to ask you for an opinion on a number of short essays I have written. I can well imagine requests such as this may make life a burden to you. But the essays I am sending are for the most part so short that reading one or two would be the affair of only a moment and the rest could then be ignored unless your interest were captured. What I wish to know is whether, from the editorial point of view, they are any good; if they are, what can such a person as I do with them?

There was much fund in their making and return postage is enclosed.

The above is my summer address, good until mid-September.
