I\u2019m even more sorry to have sent my last letter, which I fondly hope has gone astray. It\u2019s quite true, darling, that I\u2019ve been damnably sick all fall, but that\u2019s no reason for my inflicting myself on you to quite such an extent. Not in that way, at least.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Helen to Norrie, Sept. 1936.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One thing I beg of you\u2014on all the bended knees you like, preferably yours\u2014do get your hair cut by someone who knows how.

I have been in Wymilwood all morning, playing the piano and getting my clothes in order. Roy [Daniells] has a bad cold and I asked him to go for a walk this afternoon. Yesterday I went on a hike with Jean Cameron, Jean Elder, Dot Drever, Elizabeth Gillespie and Olive Brownlee. Cooked supper on the wet ground. Nothing much happened. I am enjoying a quiet weekend after a very hectic two or three weeks. I must get to work on German nouns and verbs later on to day, and there is no news. I hope your cold is better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Norrie to Helen, 30 Nov. 1936.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Baine is very tall and bulky, and can\u2019t go out without a huge overcoat and muffler\u2014he\u2019s spent the entire term trying to keep warm. He looks funny with me breezing along beside him with my yellow hair &amp; pullover. The other day I went into Warren\u2019s room around twelve &amp; found him suffering from a terrific hangover\u2014he\u2019d been out to a Thanksgiving dinner the night before and was wondering about the people he dimly remembered having asked to tea\u2014whom he asked, what day and what time of day they were coming, and why he\u2019d ever asked them anyhow. I suggested that he go out and get himself a glass of tomato juice. He said he needed a whole can of tomato juice. I told him to get a whole can of tomato juice. He stared at me stupidly and said: \u201cI haven\u2019t got a can opener.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Report of the \u201cAdventure\u201d Series.\u00a0 Education vol of CW.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The compilers are concerned primarily to find a good level of popular literature for presenting a social mythology. The resemblance between these readers and the <em>Reader\u2019s Digest<\/em> is shattering: I had innocently thought that people read the <em>Reader\u2019s Digest<\/em> because they believed it to be an abridgement of contemporary magazine articles, not because they found it a comic-book monthly version of a school reader. They also resemble strongly (even to the choice of selections) the bedside book which Mr. Conrad Hilton has substituted for the Gideon Bible. In the grade 7 book, Benjamin Franklin is presented as a \u201clazy\u201d man\u2014that is, as a man whose main ambition it was to work for the technological comforts of the modern home. Edison is, more plausibly, presented in the same way, and God has similar ambitions for his Americans in the Thanksgiving section. The Western pioneers and Indian shooters, the great scientists, everything admirable in the past, is seen as leading up to a world of comfort and security, where the main outlet for adventure is in operating the technological machinery. Education of this type is really an education through narcissism: it is not an accident that a section entitled \u201cUnderstanding Yourself Through Reading\u201d is illustrated by a picture of a girl staring at herself in a mirror. The editors know very well the preoccupations of a teenager\u2019s mind: the mores of the basketball team and the school paper, love of animals, resentment at parental authority combined with a conviction of its ultimate benevolence, and they have hunted high and low\u2014chiefly low\u2014for stories which hold up mirrors to those preoccupations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTo Come To Light\u201d (sermon in <em>Northrop Frye on Religion<\/em>, <em>CW<\/em> 4) was originally given as a Thanksgiving address in 1986\u00a0at the 150th anniversary of the founding of Victoria College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some pertinent (and impertinent) references\u00a0to the theme and occasion of\u00a0Thanksgiving.\u00a0 \u201cThe Concept of Sacrifice\u201d (Northrop Frye&#8217;s Student Essays, CW 3).
