Douglas Gives Advice
To Would-be Writers
"If you would become proficient in
the art of writing, write. The only way
to learn to write is to do it." Such was
the gist of advice given to aspiring
journalists by Lloyd Douglas, minister,
essayist, and writer of best sellers, in
an interview granted to the Carolinian
on Monday of last week.
An interesting, fluent conversational-ist
and one entirely minus any hint of
the conventional preacher cither in his
manner* or his method of expression.
Dr. Douglas continued: "My advice to
yon is to keep a journal every day.
Write both narrative and conversation.
Let yourself RO. For instance, write
five hundred words on 'Mrs. Jones'
Hands in Her liip in Repose.' Do this
from every conceivable angle. Describe
the slant of an eyebrow, or write the
conversation between an old lady and a
boy of ten or that between two college
girls, in the same surroundings.
"Nothing is an interesting as people
If you make them real. -Make your ehar-aetera
gel up and walk around."
Dr. Douglas stated that most younp
writers make the mistake of choosing
for their Ittbjeeta thing! of which they
have very little knowledge.
"The best thing to write about," he
Hid, "is the thing right at your elbow.
Pot people living aroand Greensboro
O. Henry is good 'local stuff.' To get
into the writing game, begin by mbmJt-
Ung something to y/OOr own papers or
i' by.'*
He suggested as an excellent plan for
n would be author i nape, "f
anoedol I on O. Henry, em:

nta and other resi-
■ajboro who knew the great
author during his lifetime.
timea yoq mnnj get away, see
tiling- from a diatancei gel ■ parapet
ti\'- on a phsM te realise what loeaJ
things do to you," Dr. Douglas main-tained.
In discussing college courses in jour-nalism
and English, he said: "My word!
You see very little offered today in me-ticulous
courses in composition. If I
were an English professor, I would as-sign
the same theme every day for a
year, and have the students write on it
from a different angle for each class.
The first paper could be narrative, the
next written as conversation, and so on,
each with a different point of view.
He compared the correct training for
a writer with that of an artist. As the
ariat spends days, even monhs, in per-fecting
small details in his technique,
such as the drawing of a nose, so should
a prospective writer concentrate on the
thing at hand and learn the subject
thoroughly as he goes. Students of
journalism should not be expected to
jump from one idea to another each
time the class meets and still achieve
gratifying results. Variation in tech-nique,
however. i« Important.
Pr. Douglas said that he considers
writing novels "quite a lot of fun." ex-eept
for the heavy drudgery and physi-cal
labor. He cannot, as Oppenheim
does, dictate his note* to his secretary
as he has to make eorracttoni as he
goes. "I aae taa "Oaah and I -any* plan,
and make my repairs as I go," he said.
It took a year and a half, between jobs,
for him to complete his "Magnificent
Obsession.'* "Forgfree Us Oar Trespass-is"

he had nothing ehn to do bat write.

flai February 10th number of
School and Society contains an ar-tiele
by Mr. Fleming, in which he
sums up his idea of "Personality
and the Athletic Girl."
He says that the athletic type of
girl tends to have more personality
and to be more pleasing than the
average type of girl. It is she who
is found most frequently in the sig-nificant
positions of leadership. Mr.
Flemming concludes with the state-ment:
"These traita being desira-ble
and nf the kind that schools
and societies would foster, athletic
programs in our schools tend to im-prove
the personalities of our girls.
