Zach HcGhee's Book.
<kZach'' McGhee,who has achieved
fame if not fortune as Washington |
correspondent for a syndicate of
newspapers,has written a book, which, j
although but recently published, is !
attracting considerable attention as
a clever bit of fiction with a whole- i
some underlying purpose. Its title is
"''The Dark Corner" and the scene
is laid in this State. Zach is a South
Carolina "boy" and a graduate of
the Citadel Academy,where he wa3 a
school-fellow of the writer. He
taught school for several years after
graduation and is thoroughly conversant
with the then existing educational
conditions in this State.
This preliminary explanation is made
because the motif of the book is a
powerful plea for better common
schools and, withal, a severe arraignment
of a certain type of institution
loarninor now hanDilv decadent.
-V* JIJ . .
that a few years ago flourished like |
^ the green bay tree.
Zacfc has honored us with an au-|
tograph copy of his book and we .
I have read it carefully aud critically. 1
I, Apart from personal considerations j
L' we may say that The Dark Corner '
W has much intrinsic merit.The quaint |
I originality that give3 the author a
distinctive style as a newspaper cor- i
respondent is here seen at its best j
and his diction is almost faultless, j
The story is clean, wholesome and
interesting, with just enough of sentiment
and pathos, and all through
the narrative runs a thread of droll
humor and keen satire. His scathing
arraignment of a system of pseudoeducation
typified bv the Hollisville I
Military Collegiate Institute appro*- j
V imates iu descriptive force Squeers' j
"Dutheboys' Hall", immortalized by'
Dickens in "Nicholas Niekleby."
The Dai k Corner is well worth
reading and every school teacher and
superintendent of schools in this
State especially would be benefited
by its perusal.
We congratulate our friend on his
auspicious entrance into the realms
of fiction and predict for him a literary
career of whose fruition the
present achievement is only the budding
promise.
