A1LY i Seme Observations on Reading In the current number of Putnam' Monthly thr I striking article ca th ,"Radlng HoAjt in to UntUd f tates.' i Th author present stall, ties with j-ersrd t the book taken from public , schools end society li braries, and And that for vry ivv Inhabitant the peopl of Massacnu et-tts ... take out 141 books annually, thos of NewTork 1J5. of Tennessee 10. of North Carolina I. or missis- eippi. The ho win- is not a food on for the Southern States, even wnen very discount la made for the un . aUnfactorlnBs of statistics, the lack of public libraries In the South and the failure to take Into account prl- ; te libraries. Any such facts Should bo supplemented by Inquiry as to the nature of ths book read. There has , been much discussion In recent mu wsines Of the deterioration of public taste as evinced by the books most ' "In demand In libraries. ..' Whatever may tie the facts In the ( rate and I am not Inclined to be . fv-dnirtc such a study Jnvetlably tL iKcts the question: why Is It that imir men and women do not read . th best books T In collates and high schools there has been during the V past decade a notable development la the study of literature, but many ", teachers of Etiflish. bv been dlsap- ,.; pointed that the reading habit Is not 1 continued by students after they leave college. The establishment of llbra ? ties la onr largr towns and the In- ; crease In the number of literary clubs hay given opportunity for the cultl V vaiion of literary taste; and yet even new one does not often meet with people to whom the reading of good tooks Is. ft souroo of recreation, en lightenment, and power. Lack of , .;, time, tack of money to procure books, , th 1 Indiscriminate reading of new ,' books, ft general failure to eHtlmate V property ths value of literature all these are partial explanations of the , fact that comparatively few know -ttoo joy and profit of reading. For ' V those Who nrge a lack of time as an obstacle to culture It Is scarcely nec ; esssuT to cite the well known fllus ' ' (rations of great men In all profes ; atons who have found tlms even in ths midst of very busy lives to read ; th best Hterature. it might be well , ; for NfM of us to estimate ths amount , ' oC reading that could b done If only ' ft Cow minute should be set apart eftou day. There are .people In North Carolina whom one may readily think ' -os? as Illustrating what may be done ' In ths direction of self-culture by ; 7 those who may have had or may not ' have had the advantages of college training. 'j? A COMMENDABLE CUSTOM. : On the train the other day I found ,'one of ths moat prominent lawyers ' of the BUte reading a volume of Kip (ling. Hs told me that It was his In variable custom while traveling to , ' take with him soma good book; tn ths v- course of a few years he had read a surprisingly largs number of vol umea One of the best known preachers Ui ths Bute always puts Into his traveling baa; some book or : ; books, which he manages to read be for he returns; I was astonished on day to hear how many book hs had read In this way. I know a young woman whose life t$ much given ip to ths duties of her life, but who In ths course of ft winter rsad throngs the. play of Bhafcespoar In chronp logical order. The Illustrations might be multiplied Of those who , havs found time for self-cultivation evsn In leisure moments. The most strik ing example Is prominent young editor and writer of the State who by osreful economy of his time and by knowing what to read has mads blmself one of the best educated and most useful men In th State. With some a more serious obstacle . than the lack of tlms Is the lack of mon ey. It Is surprising, however, what a small amount of money will do to wards securing a reasonably satlsfao tory library. The money spent In th purchase of coetly subscription books and cheaper books sold by book agents would buy a goodly number of the best English classics. "Every man's Library," now being published by' IXitton, "Little Masterpieces," edited by Mr. Bliss Perry, "Little Masterploces of Poetry," selected and arranged by Henry Van Dyke, th Heart of Oak Books," edited by Oharles Eliot Norton, the Riverside Press editions of American authors, the Astor editions of prose and verse. might all be bought for considerably less monoy than Warner's "Library of the World's Beat Literature," which In mode up only of selections, half of which the average reader would not care for. A WI8B SELECTION. I saw the private library of a teacher in a North Carolina town the other day that was an Illustration of how one with a very meagre salary may secure a selection of books that will be a source of constant Joy and Inspiration. No public library however useful or necessary should taks the place of one's own collection of books however small. There are few things more precious than a library that is built up gradu ally by economy and good taate. Instead of the best books, however. there Is far too great a tendency now toward the reading of new book. It has become a mania that all lovers of literature need to struggle sgalnst There are many people who would rather b faahlonable than cultivated they are an easy prey for the loud advertising book-seller. It often re quires considerable courage to ahow one's Ignorance of popular novels. I should like to see North Carolina old fashioned enough to like the old books, and provincial enough not to read the Bookman to find out th best oiling books of the month In New Tork and Philadelphia. The running any means to doubt the value of publlo Ubrariea, so Insistent Is the de mand for the newest books. Wom en' clubs are good institutions very good but It may be questioned whether some of them are dolnr much for literary culture when their lists of books are made up al most entirely of the latest Action. Not that I would follow Emerson's role and read only such books as are two years old, for, as Mr, Bliss Perry baa recently pointed out in a charm ing essay, there Is something of value arter rasnionabie literature causes one at ttmes not .all the time by of men of action as well. It Is easy In studying ; library fashions; It , Is Important to 'know the best that Is being thoucht and said as well ft th best that has been thought and said, A man who does hot read Kipling and Stephen Phillips, Howefl and Mark Twain, .Joel : Chandler Harris and Thomas Nelson Page fall to under stand some of the best .tendencies of our contemporary life. But, It needs to b said over and vr again,' that the only safe way to ths formation of ft healthy literary taste and the consequent enlargement of one's men A 1 - . 1 t . , i . . j km ana ppi tiiujw uuruon is to ana w at least th books In' one's own ton guags that ftav th stamp of ft gene ration or mor of popular ftnd crit ical Judgment, Dr. Dean Brlggs, of Harvard, in ft recent article say,. Af ter speaking of BcotL Jan Austen and Thackeray. , The mere mention of ths name la enough to nak u viihu air iof ouun nu uj uii w have wasted on ysllow newspa pers and - yellew neve Is and .trivial magaslnes." "V'v ''i-: i'Cf Erwln Avery expressed with fine scorn bis Impatience of much that passes for,, culture; 'Do you know whst th majority of people espe cially the younger people will take from a library and readT Th rolly, new book, of eaurs dooks, or course, w noe to talk book lore worth heaiina- after th Mler generation passs wy T Who's -to talk ibook lor warth hear ing after th older genera tion passes away? Who's to bold op standard that un derstands that rejects all that Is not fin and strong ftod clear? A Ilttl while and who will thvr be down her to mock the loud, huad books that reek wlwlth tawdy-rotten senti ment?" BOOKS OF THE HOUR. Asagalnst ths books of the bour, many of them sensational and others lacking Intellectual and useful fibre, ws need to urge the books that are for sll time. A classic Is not neces- rlly a serious and weighty book, for there are classes, but those lit hu mor, ranging from the broad Ameri can type to ths delicate sketches of cnaries Lamb, there are novels at once Interesting, wholesome and ud- liftlng, there are standard essays and biographies that do not oppress one Inch of the mystery of all this unin telligible world; and there is poetry mat aoes noc aemsna subtle analysla. Th ability to read, says Lowell, Is "the key which admits us to the whole world of thought and fancy and Im agination, to ths company of saint and sage, of ths wisest and the wlt tleat at their wisest and wittiest mo menta" It would be Msy to multiply quotations in which great men In all times and among all races have ex pressed their homage to literature. Their words are "a chorus of many voices in many tongues, a hymn of gratitude and praise, full of such piety and fervor as can be paralleled only in songs dedicated to the supreme Power." When we read the words not only of authors themselves, but (iiviiJaul, ttmt th commonwealth, we can untlerHtand why a captain of in dustry like , Andrew Carnegie would ay that th reading of great books ana . in enjoyment or. novels - nsa brought him more happiness than all his wealth; why Phillips Brooks, had such a consuming, deslr to know the full biography of man a It has found expression In literature;- why to uiaaaion the study of any great sutnor was a dlsciplln of the Intel Isct and the hearta moral tonic: why to Wordsworth poetry was th heart and finer sphrlt to all knowledge. A mor convincing argument than an rapturous praise of literature Is th man. or woman who loves, books ana knows how to us them. For tunst are w If w know such I A csrtaln editor In this Stat has caus ed many a man to rsad Bacon's says, by reason of th quotations In his dltorlals or. better still, by th apt us or mens in private conversation. I spent an evsnlng not long ago with a Scotchman, who for two hours or more delighted his company. with th songs ana poems or uoberi Burns. James Russell Lowell was not as'- he said, the last of ths bookmen, for her and thsre on finds a man or woman whose relish for a certain old master It is beautiful to contemplate. A teacher of literature has some sat isfaction, In seeing the response of students to what Is An and uplifting in some poet or prophet. There sre some of us who can never forget th golden morning of lif when like Keats w found some new domain of the" imagination, and "felt Ilk soms watcher of ths skies when a new planef swims Into his ken." ' THE DISIXXUSIONMENT-- . to nee that many people do not prop erly appreciate literature as a vital factor In life, that they underrate the significance of the works of Imagin ation In the practical life of the world. We have thought too often of a lit erary man as unbalanced, abnormal, eccentric, unrelated to the life about him. We have considered the poet or novelist or essayist as sentimental and ideal, when as a matter of fact hs has the seeing eye and the understand ing heart. When we have once realised ths value of literature to th life of In- There Is frequently a disappoint ment when on roes to an author of a book after bearing or reading some one's enthusiastic praise. We do not always us good Judgment In selecting dooks we read a translation of Dante or uoeth when we ought to read Shakespeare, we try "Sartor Resartus" when w iught to read Kmerson'a es sayv Browning when Tennyson or Longfellow would be 'bettor, Addison rather than Irving. One good book leads to ft better. A book that means nothing to-day will mean much when we have brought to it a larger ex perience. Many a young person who Is really anxious to read th best books finds a disenchantment, ft dis illusionment, when he comes face to fac with some book that he has long wanted to read. More really ambitious readers break down here than at any other point. But Is this disillusionment peculiar to literature? Who ever looked at Niagara for ths first time and did not wonder why he had come so far te see It? And yet the longer you stay there th greater the beauty and the glory of the scene became. As ons stands for the first time In the Louvre he experiences the same feeling: it Is only after w have summoned to our aid some com panion of some guide book, and spent many days In the study of the master pieces of art, that the real slgnlflcence of the pictures begins to dawn upon us. And so It Is with great books; they do not give up their secrets at one; we must raise our souls to their level. We need help in the way of interpretation and comment Hence the mistaken notion that when a book has been read once it has been resd for all time. On ths other hand it may be said that no great book has been read rightly that haa not been read many times. It is better to resd one great book with patience and whole hearted absorption than to read many books in a purely su perficial way. So much may be said by way of an introduction to a series of articles that I have ben asked to contribute to Th Observer.
