Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical and Literary Activities in North Carolina, 1900-1905, Vol. 1: Publications of the Historical Commission That the literary life of the State is growing is proved not less by the increasing number of books written by authors who dwell among us than by the organized activities of the clubs and associations which are founded for the study and preservation of our State history. The possibilities for good readily suggest themselves to the thoughtful. Suppose only a dozen students consider any topic together; the aggregate knowledge of all soon becomes the property of each; and the errors and misconceptions of each are subjected to the light which all together can give. The result is that knowledge of ourselves is at once widened and made more accurate. These associated efforts have a similar advantage in dissemination. One of the most hopeful signs of the times is the interest which our literary men and women are taking in the common schools, and the interest that the common schools arc taking in matters that relate to our State history and literature. The best of the things new and old which are brought to light are now being utilized for their benefit. There is a change in the character of the work which is being done by our authors. Instead of being all too ready to spread their work over a century or more, they now usually confine themselves to a topic, a person, or a short period, and, in this way, instead of rehashing what is already familiar, they make permanent additions to the common stock. Intensive history and literature is as much a desideratum as intensive farming. The time is near at hand when a good book written to inform us about ourselves will pay a reasonable profit to its author and publisher. A pure, healthy, home literature is the nursing mother of civic virtue. As some one has well said, God "spake" before he created. The "word," the plan, the logic (logos) of His work preceded the work itself. So we, His creatures, must think, must plan, must brood over void and formless things and dead facts until they live in organic unity and beauty.
