Concerning EMERSON. Rev. A. \.
Smith gave the final lecture in the Teachers
Club Course in the High School room last
Friday evening on the life and work of
Ralph Waldo Emerson. 1t is always a
pleasure to listen to Nh Smith when he
speaks of the poets or prose writer's. ON
which he is considered an authority. He is
familiar With Emerson and made apt Seec-
tons from his prose and poetry to illustrate
his life and character. He dwelt at length
on fmerson's essay on Compensation. which
is considered by many to be his best prose
work, and spoke of the influence Of Elmer
son and his contemporaries on the better life
of New England. The lecture was both
interesting and Instructive.
