In “The Wonderful World of Books" (A Mentor book) I read that of the 11,000 titles published in 1950. about 1900 were fiction, and in the course of a single pub- lishing season nine-tenths fell by the wayside.‘ The printing presses of Britain and Canada together publish more books than the U.S.. so that it is apparent that the life of a work of fiction is a precarious one, and its chance of attaining immortality, infinitesimal. This is no argument against reading new books. Someone has to read wrinkled old Cervantesi “Don Quixote” for the first time‘ and Dickens, Tolstoy. Balzac, et al had,to be discovered by dis- cerning readers. There. are how- ever certain basic qualities which make a novel great, and Somerset Maughan in his introduction to “Great Novelists and their Nov- els” states as his opinion, that a good. novel should have a widely interesting theme, it must be co- herent and persuasive, have a be- ginning’and an end and the and should be the natural consequence of the beginning. the episodes :should have probability, the cre- atures of the novelist’s invention must have individuality and their ”action proceed from their char- acters. Maughan’s choice of the ten great novels are War and Peace, Old Man Goriot, Tom Jones, Pride and Prejudice. The Red and the Black. Wuthering Heights. Madame Boval‘y. David Copperfield, The Brothers, Kara- mazov. and Moby Dick. He is careful to say that to speak of the ten best novels in the world is nonsense, there being perhaps a hundred. If fifty people were to make a list of the one hundred best novels. the ten novels he has chosen would have a place in his ist. Pelham Edgar’s “The Art of the Novel” discusses most of the In- les that Maughan' has chosen, but Edgar‘s very interesting book only discusses the English novel. E. M. Forster states that the novel as an art form, has attained its greatest height in France, and with this Maugham is in agree- ment. Maughan believes Balzac is the greatest novelist but T01- stoy‘s “War and Peace,” the greatest novel. ' Correspondent: Mrs. Gly Frazer Telephone AV. 5-2467 Congratulations to a successful hunter.

Home 8: School . “Lest we forget" was the theme of the November 11 meeting of the Thornlea Home and School Association. The school choir. directed by Mr. Armstrong sang three numbers. “The Queen". a hymn “O Lord of Heaven" and “In Flanders Fields. A beautiful miniature of Flan- ders Fields was created by Mr. Bradshaw with poppies and sil- ver crosses on a green back- ground. As the choir finished, two minutes of silence was ob. served by all and ended by four rounds of rifle fire. Mrs. Wright congratulated the children .on their fine performance. About Books And Reading Mr. G. Frazer presented an honorary membership to Mr. K. 'Richan. In his absence. it was ac- cepted by Mrs. Richan. Mrs. Ward introduced Mr. Mac- Kay from the Shouldice Surgery who told some of the plans of the hospital and in turn introduced Dr. Black who had so very kind- ly consented to speak in place of Mr. C. L. Burton. who was taken suddenly ill. Dr. Black spoke of the necess- ity of immunization against the common preventable cumin“... diseases and vaccination and warned against the drinking of unpasteurized milk.
