Name: Our Intellectual Strength and Weakness: A Short Historical and Critical Review of Literature, Art and Education in Canada
Author: Bourinot, John George

Bourinot, John George

Canada -- Intellectual life; Canadian literature -- History and criticism; French-Canadian literature -- History and criticism

Conclusion: The French language and its probable duration in Canada;
       the advantages of a friendly rivalry among French and English
       Canadians, which will best stimulate the genius of their peoples
       in art and letters; necessity for sympathetic encouragement of
       the two languages and of the mental efforts of each other; less
       provincialism or narrowness of mental vision likely to gain
       larger audiences in other countries; conditions of higher
       intellectual development largely dependent on a widening of our
       mental horizon, the creation of wider sympathy for native talent,
       the disappearance of a tendency to self-depreciation, and greater
       self-reliance and confidence in our own intellectual resources.
