"I should have liked to f have discussed some of the new vices | with you, drug-taking, for instance. | I must say, though, I never know { when there is a mew vice except | when I see a movement against it," the new hegd of Queen's English de- partment remarked, plaintively, After recalling days of long ago, when he used to address the club in "the dear, old Y.M.C.A., a very dif- ferent place to this gorgeous hall," and explaining that while a profes- sor of political economy in Montreal could at times be frivolous, this was not permitted in a professor of Eng- lish in Kingston, Prof. Sandwell said he was going to speak on the old vice of "once reading." "Suppose," he said, "an unfortun- ate Canadian shut up for three hours with nothing but two books, with no bridge, no jazz, no radio, even to listen in on. And suppose one book is a classic of the English language, and the other a perfect example of the novels of the most frivolous and inane of our modern writers. Fur- ther suppose the unfortunate finds he once read the classic. What will be the answer of our adult Canadian to the question, 'Which book shall I read?" You kilow what it will be in 999 cases out of 1,000. The professor ridiculed what he termed the fallacy of believing that reading a piece of literature is like eating a piece of cake, recalling the OM saying, "You can't eat your cake and have it, t&o." "Literature is i not in the least like cake," he said. [va work of art is a spiritual force, | which continues to operate, like-- vo draw an analogy from nature-- sunlight. T-- Read Out of Curiosity. "There are many reasons for this 'once and no more' policy in read- ing, and it is true not only of read- ing. There are people, for instance, who have 'done' Westminster Abbey and "Hamlet" when they have seen them once. The attitude of these people is exactly like that of the stamp collector who wants to get 5,000 stamps, all different. They feel it a waste of time and energy to read arbook twice. "But literature cannot be exactly apprehended at a single reading. If a piece of literature yields less satis- faction at the second reading it is evidence conclusive that it is not good literature. Just as I read the daily mewspaper to find out how many bandits operat: in Chicago over the week-end or how far Bra- zillan Traction has fallen, so do people read the sentimental and mystery novels. They read them out of curiosity, to learn. certain con- crete facts, and in so doing they surrender themselves to the hypno- tizing influence of the novelist." People talk of a plot in literature as it it is a plot in politics--not good after it is found out, the speaker declared, in explaining his belief that in reading suspense may be heightened by knowledge of what is going to happen. A good novel, he said, reads better the sec- ond time than the first. The ease with which books are now obtained, and the magazine and Hbrary habit were held largely re- sponsible by the lecturer for the widely current vice of "once read- ing." Also, he said, a very large part of works to-day are designed to satisfy merely .a temporary curio- sity artifically stimulated. It is'a delusion to think second reading of an enduring book is hard, also that an enduring or durable book may | | { j efficiency, and should induce every | woman who suffers from any ailment peculiar to her sex to give it a fair trial. ' A AA ca be serious. Here Prof. Sandwell \mentiched two of the literary works he has read and re-read. Stephen Leacock's "Boarding House Geome- try," and an eight-line poem of Bliss Carman's. A true attitude to- wards literature can only be obtain- ed, he averred, when one actually possesses the hook read. -- Guest of Authors' Association. Members of the Montreal Branch of the Canadian Author's Associa- tion gathered at the Westerners' Club, 63 McGill College avenue, on Monday night, to terfder an esteem- ed member, Prof. B. K. Sandwell, what was announced in advance no- tices as a farewell dinner. This lat- ter term was clearly revealed as a distinct misnomer, however. Intro- ducing the guest of honor, Warwick Chipman, K.C., president of the branch, explained in no uncertain terms. that the dinner was by no means a farewell function, but that the party was a little tribute of the members to Prof. Sandwell, on the occasion of his leaving for a tem- porary absence to fill the chair of Professor of English at Queen's University. This absence, however, would not deprive him of the bene- fits of the association, or the remem- brances of the members. Prof. Sandwell delivered a char- acteristically humorous talk, con- trasting, the respective merits of Montreal and Kingston. He enlarg- ed on the difference between the two cities. ful atmosphere was emphasized. It appealed to him. Indeed, he was now engaged on a work to prove that the rapid growth of cities is a curse of the present day. The speaker then narrated some of the reasons why he was particu- larly attracted to Kingston. First in importance were , the "delight- fully low rents." The cost of liv- ing was much more satisfactory than here. There were no temptations to high life such as were found in the city o Montreal. "Opportuni- ties for parting with one's wealth are at a minimum there," said Prof. Sandwell, giving examples of how much could be obtained in the way of amusement for an, exceedingly small sum of money. % "Regretful as I am to sever my- self from very pleasant associations formed here, I think I am going to find it very enjoyable in Kingston on' condition that I can come down to Montreal! from time to time and receive farewell dinners like this at every reasonable occasion that of- fers," said Prof. Sandwell. Reférences were made to Cana- dian Book Week, and Prof. Sand- well commented on the amazing de- velopment in better class Canadian literature of late. ------------ MONEY AT WORK The smaller city's more rest- | E.
