COMMENTS ON BACON lt is re.,1·cta blc that more of. 11 s are unahle to imitate Bacon's

cryptie a nd ~concise s ty! ,• of' writinµ-. If ~-ou ha Ye taken English Lit­erature 11nd l' r }[1·. Burroughs, you will know Baco n, his conciseness, t ru th [uln ess. ro 1·s iµ-ht eclness and aptness at exp 1·ess ion.

He was born in 15fil and had co ntact with the go verning el m:;: through his p,mmts. He wa s po liti ra lly unsuccess ful but t his was best .tor µ-e nerations late1· as it was i11 st rumcnta) in his becoming in­tensely interes ted in writin g- literiltnrc and philosophy. Hi:· essay illu st rnte his k,,,•11ness or mind. his p ract ica l wordly wisdom, and tlrn tense incisinn <'ss of hi s sty le. His death was due to a pract ica l ex­perim ent wh ich he perfo rmed in th e ad va ncement of science. He con­t r,ict cd a chill wh c:1 h, g-a th ert'cl sno"· to stuff a fowl to investigaLe the .cffed of' ,·old 011 p1·esc•rrn tion of meat. .

As fut.u 1·e teachers. we should ten,l to imp rove our p1·esen tat iou of matr 1·ial hy stud.,· of accepted leaders in compo. ition. Let's ex­am ine t.ogct he1· a few sente11 ces taken from Bacon's essays.

He says on sa1·casm : " Generally men ought to find the diffe rence between sa ltness and bitterness . Cert a inly he that hath a satirical vein , a· he makc•th othl' rs al'rn id of his wit, so he need be afraid of othe 1·s' memory." Most of us unconsc iously ava il ourselves of the use of sarcasm to revenge a hurt pr ide. Sometimes to appear hu: morous, othe r times to attach a t horn to a bouquet of roses. Too many times we spea k thoug htlrssly, no t" realizing th e effect of our wo,·ds nor thr_last ing- imp1·essi011 le ft with the listener.

A comm on though usuall.,· un consc ious defect in our writing or speaking is 1·eitc rntions. Bacon says: " Iterations are commonly loss of t ime; bu t the re is no such gain of tim e as to iterate often the state of the question: for it chasc th away many a frivolous speech as it Is coming fo 1·th. " How many speakers have grown tiresome to your ea r by cont inu al repetition : No doubt just as many as have bored yo u by rambling in th eir speech from a discussion of an an t to an elephant. A shor t ta lk is best as a long robe never is worn fol" a race.

Be careful of the use of the first personal pronoun . as he ab ly s tated so concise ly in the~c scornful words : " H e must needs be a wi:;c man, he speaks so much o[ himself. "

T lu·ec sta tements have been taken from his essay on "Of Studies" to ('X empli f .v hi s attitude on education. "Crafty men con­demn studies. s imple ml· n admire th em, and wise men use them." " Studies ser n fo r delight, for ornament , and fo r ability. Their chief nse fo r delight is in prin1teness and 1·etiring; for ornament is in dis­course; and fo r ability is in the judgment and disposition of bus­ine s. " "Some books a1·e to be tasted, oth ers to be swallowed and some few to be chewed a11rl digested - that is some books are to be ,.cad only in parts. oth ers to be read , but not curiously, and some few to be read wh olly, and with di ligence and attention."

. And to clo_sc b:. a sta tement conce1·ning his suggestion against ~~oil mg th e .''.h ild : .. .\Ien have ~ fooli~h manner (b_o,.t;. _h parents, ap_<l.

- schoolmaste1 s,and ~ervm1tsr,-m cl'eatmg andoFeec11li'g an emulation between brothe1·s dur ing childh ood, which many ti mes sot·teth to dis­co1·d when t hey a rc men, and disturbeth fam ilie·s."
