nateriai world ana IS the open
sesame to the land OF the IDEAL
and the spiritual. V
In the more advanced schools
for physical training, It is large
ly through the investigation that
the body becomes the willing
servant Of the mind aud gives
expression to the varying atti-
tudes of the mind and soul. So
true is this, that exercises for
the cultivation of the imagina.
tion are as much q requirement
forprelimi1iary training ia these
schools, US exercises for freei:g
the muscles. Certainly then we
should not undervalue a study
that contributes so much to the
development of this faculty.
But while poetry properly
taught can be made most useful
in physical and mental training,
undoubtedly its greatest value is
the influence it wlelds in the
mora. world:
In developing that side of
human nature, poetry in the
comprehensive sense in which
we are using it, has no rival.
The highest forms of poetry
are to be found in the Bible: and
of course no study in the former
could be complete that does not
include the latter. The parallels
of Christ and the Psalms of
David are both highly imagin-
ative and poetic, yet there are
still some people in the world
who think it a sin to read fiction.
Next to the Bible, the highest
spiritual lessons ever given to Us
have come through the tragic
poet.
1t is his elevating mission TO
teach US that life is a sacrifice,
aud that "true vision comes
through suffering" In study
ing a great tragedy, it is not the
plot that should concern us, but
the moral and spiritual problem
it may contain, exalting us
through our emotions and sane.
tifying US through our fears.
1t is not the stirring recital of
the deeds of Macbeth that in
terests US, but the terrible pen
atty paid for the unrestrained,
"vaulting ambition that o'erleaps
ITSELF" the appalling catastrophe
of soul that never having been
allied to the good forces of the
world, must needs fall a victim
to the evil oues-this it is that
gives us pause and makes us turn
our eyes inward, and in our ter
ror resolve to be truer to our
better selves, and thus the tragic
poet drives home a lesson fit for
a sermon in an attractive, dra-
matte setting.

And many time 10 the years THAI came.
Heheafd the sound Of that low. 1wset song

II kept hts feet from the paths Of wrong.
A mother spoke to her child one day
In an angry voice. that made him start.

And pierced his loving and tender heart.
And when he had grown to mans estate.
And was tempted and tried. as all men are.
He fell; for that mothers angry words
Had left In his heart lasting scar.

THE STUDY OF POETRY.


THE man that hath no music In himself.
And is not moved with concord of
sweet sounds,
Is ht for treason, strategems and spoiis,'
The motions of his spirit are dull as
night.
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted
We have all heard and read so
much of the refining influence
of poetry, the aesthetic culture
and graceful versatility to be de-
rived from a knowledge of gen.
eral literature, that the theme
has become almost a trite one.
Long since the world conceded
all this to be true, except per-
haps, a few, who like Horatio,
still believe it only in part. This
article shall try to present an
other, and to some minds, a more
practical phase of the subject.
The term poetry" is not to be
understood as referring only to
a certain metrical form of writ
ing, nor indeed, to any mere
form of composition; but to
what Macaulay calls. "the art OF
employing words in such a man
ner as to produce an illusion on
the imagination" be it itexpressed
in rythm, rhyme, verse or prose.
After some years experience
as a teacher, l do not hesitate to
say that the study of poetry is
as important a factor in the
physical. mental and moral train.
ing of children as calisthenics,
mathematics or moral philoso-
ply.
1t is popular fallacy thai
such studies take one out of the
every day world of objective
thought and let's him wander
aimlessly in the realms of the
ideal, the fauciful and the un.
real; that in the school room
work, it has no part in the seri
Gus business of mental training
like the more prosaic mathema
tics; that il serves rather fol
mental relaxation with a little
adversion and a gentle stimuli:
to the emotional nature. It doe.
do this, but if it does no more. i
is because that school room
is in charge of an inefficien
teacher and the pupils are losing
the best all round exercise tn,
daily class room drills offer.
Uuquestionably it requires ;
greater concentration and ;
higher degree of mental training
to get and to hold the centra
idea of a poem Of even a few
stanzas, through the intricat,
maze of metaphors and similei
and alluring subordinate pic
lures, then to go over and owe
again every sentence and phras
eliminating and paraphrasin:
until the leading thought in eacl
is developed and then to sboy
how each is related to and con
tributes to the principal theme
all this say, a purely logica
process when properly taught
requires a higher degree o
mental training than evolvini
problems in arithmetic and alge
bra This work too will ofte
be taken up by the pupil as
pleasing diversion, when h
would reluctantly turn to tn
other as disagreeable task.
