FAMOUS PEOPLE
BY FANNIE MLOLHROP
NORMAN DUNCAN
A Successful Canadian 1Crlter.
One of the brilliant young writers of Canada who has won recognition.byltuis
splendid work which foreshadows still greater performance, is Norman Duncan,
of whom the "London Spectator" which is usually diary of praise. said: "It is
a pleasure to know that there is a writer in the world from whom we nwy hope
for greater things."
He was born in the City of Brantford. in 1571, and spent eight years at
Mitchell, Ont., and from there entered the University of Toronto. lie tool almost
the full course, but left before attaining a degr.v. as the scieutific cuurse did not
prove congenial, and the further he progressed lir more distasteful it became.
His first work atournalism was at Auburn. N.Y.. in Pte.', and two years tater
he joined the staff of the "New York Evening Post." In this literary atmos-
phere, which harmonized with his tutee and needs. he began to develop, and
his first stories -tales of life in the Syrian quarter of New York - appeared serially.
They were simple, natural, heart -stories, told with sympathy. poetic insight
and dramatic power, and bad that subtle quality of refinement and artistic finish
that reveal the personality of a fine mind radiating itself in print. When they
appeared ui book form u "The Soul of the•Ptreet,' they won instant favor with
the diseerning ones who appreciate individuality in literature.
Then he turned his attention to the fishermen of Newfoundland and spent .
a summer on the "French Shore," the northern section of the eastern of
Britain's oldest colony. In this quaint, pnnotive locality where the 'Tinting
wheel still turns blithely, where no desecrating railroads invade the solitude of
nature or the seclusion of man, and where brave men fight fierce battles with ocean
storm for a livelihood, he heed in clow companionship with the people and in
"The Way of the Sea," published las Newfoundland stories after they had de -
righted thousands of magazine readers.
Then came "Dr. I.uke of the Labrador." aiiotber book in which the reader
teeth the sharp, crisp, cool ocean spray in his face as he lives with the people whom
lir. Duncan has created. and feels with thea the little joys and sorrows that make
up their daily lives. In all his stories -vital and pulsing with human energy
-the work always weans like that of one who thinks in poetry and writes in prose,
-the work of one, who. knowing hie and its struggles at close range, never permit.
his experience to dull the eel • of hie optimism ur of bis faith in humanity. Mr.
Duncan is now professor of rhetoric in Washington and Jefferson College, Wash-
ington, Perm.
