PLAGIARISM. , Only a Crime When One Filehes From the Commonplaco. Plaginrize all you please, provided you steal from the right sources, for the secret of individuality is familiar- The great gen- iuses were meant to be objects of l plagiarism. To be plain, the more you absorb of a first class mind the more your own originality is fed. Plagia- rism is only 11 crime when it is a theft of ('ommouplm'cs from mediocre ' sources. Let the young musician soak full of Beethoven. Wagner. Mozart and Men- delssohn. That is the surest way for him to find himself. 'l‘o absorb comic opera music is the way to smother, lose and kill himself. Let the young preacher preach Bush- nell, Robertson and Brooks. So doing. he will come to prom-hing himself. As for u ritcrs there is truth in the . advice given by a great man that the . best way to acquire a good style is tc read Addison and exercise oneself in endeavoring to rewrite him. You cannot plugiurlze the Bible, nor Shakespeare. nor Homer, nor Dante. nor Milzou. These have ceased to be 111011: they are humanity. You can plugiarize Shaw, or Brcte Harte, or the last "best seller.“ To isolate oneself from the runs- ters is not the road to originality: It , is the road to vulgarity. "Pew English authors," says Ham- morton. "studied pust literature more willingly than Shelley and Tennyson, ' and none are more original.”-â€"F'rank 1Crane' in Woman‘s World.
