“If you weie given a choice between
the two, which would you choose to

suspect that most of you would ask foi

“Yet when you wcie told that oi

“To any young man who asked me
how ho could best enter the writing
field,” he said, “I would reply— go into
business” The visitoi, with an es
cort of two English instiuctors, was
enjoying a few idle minutes after his
lectui c, when we were introduced to
him and listened m on the conversa
tion.
‘Writing Autobiographical’
“Business,” he said, “isn’t neces
sanlv as sot did as it's painted. I’ve
known men in the strangest parts of
the woild, doing things that would
seem far fiom usual to most people.;
who were ‘in business’ in the strictest
sense of the word ”
“On the othci hand, writers can
find then ‘trade’ as unattractive and
as monotonous as the cheupest kind of
Icleikmg But that doesn’t explain
I why I’d advise a voung writci to go
i.ito business,” he said, smiling. “The
leal reason is the experience he would
gain ”
“Most wilting,” he added, “is based
wholly or in part upon actual experi
ence A great deal of it is nuto
biogiaphical. Some of it comes about
I tin ough close obseivation "
“That is why the ‘attic’ school of
wntets cannot succeed.”
Many of the vast number of peo
ple who believe funily that they can
wnte should not only go into busi
ness, but should stay there, Mr. Mc-
Fec believes.
Discusses Readers
“It is pleasant to believe that one
can wute,” he said, “but the belief is
vciv often a delu-ion. Many of those
who think they have htcrniy ability'
would do well to turn to an occu
pation that would be more suited to
them, and devote their time to intelli
gent reading of what the other fellow
is vvi iting ”
“Too few people read intelligently,”
he said “That, in a large part is the
reason foi much of the bad literature
that is ptoduccd today As long ns
there is a demand for it, it will con
