Who Could Decide?
From the above heading there appears in one
of the reviews for this month a plea for the ejec
tion of standard English classes from the school
room and the introduction in their stead .of the
classics of today. The deviser of this »revolutign-
ary educational plan would put away Scott, Dick
er®, Thaekery and George Eliot in favor of Edna
Fferber, Booth Tarkington, Fannie Hurst and Anzia
Yesierka oq the ground that it is'more practical to
read books dealing wi|fc present day.manners, in
terests and problems than those which describe
conditions prevalent in bygone generations.
There would he more force in the argumnt if
there were any authority competent to decide which
of the many volumes pouring from the presses in
the present age are the veritable, genuine,' simon
pure “ classics. ” But what individual, or what
learned body, will have the temerity to venture
even to hazard an opinion on so vexed a qu4stion?
The only real test of great literature seems to be
the crucible of time. Without the prospective which
thne alone oan give, it seems impossible to make
a final evaluation of literary worth. Who, for
example, will claim that Shakespeare’s works seem
ed to his contemporaries as they now seem to us?
Fifty y ea n after the great dramatist had passed
away we find even so competent a judge as Drpden
having difficulty whether to award the palm to
ShakeaDdrin or to B en -Tobwnon,
Literary emancipation is a most desirable thing,
but there is grave danger of liberty degenerat
ing into license, if every teacher is to select, the
subjects of study, or, worse still, if every pupil,
as seems to be advocated, >is to be allowed to decide
what hooks to read. It essms on the whole better
pedagogy to stand by the authors who have been
tried and nqt found wanting than to pin one’s
faith to books which, however popular at the
moment, may prove, after «U, to be bit aa ephemeral
