Overview

Excerpt from Twenty-Third Annual Report of the Superintendent of Public Schools of the City of Boston: March, 1903 I am surprised that not content with his pther errors, the critic should misquote me What is the same thing, bend what I* said out of the context. Says he, The editor naively explains some of the contra dictions of the book by reminding the reader that Miss Keller wrote many things for the fun of writing them. Can there be any greater sin-from a literary point of view not to say a moral one80 with any book, has nothing to do with the matter the Nation has under discus sion. I do not explain anywhere any con jtradiction which relates in any way to the' matter the critic expounds. I do explain in other places, which I have indicated, Miss Keller's use of words, but in this. There. Is no contradiction except between! Her intelligence and the ignorance of her; critic. He makes me say that Miss Keller advances opinions without regard to their truth: What I did say is that like every other writer who has thumor, she writes humorous opinions. The opinion I specifi cally referred to is the passage about the value of college life, which made some trouble for dilll 'people who did not under stand her gentle and delightful spirit of: fun. The only contradiction I explain is: that inevitable contradiction between her memory of events and Miss Sullivan's con temporaneous record of them.
