Ingersoll. This masterpiece requires great skill for proper production, yet Mir. Davis brought out the fine points surprisingly we'll He deserves great credit for the manner In which he so | successfully handled the selection. Miss Josephine Hottinger followed with heavy dramatic selection. en- | tit'ed The Death Bed of Benedict Arnold" whbch is familiar to all. Miss Hottinger held the audience almost breathless by her vivid portrayal of Arnolds death speech reviewing the capture of Quebec.
 Miss Grace Webb appeared next in the costume of little girl. She re- cited "A Little Girls View of Hotel ! Life" Miss Webb certainly carried the part of jolly laughing little girl, always into mischief, in a most ex- cellent way. She left the stage mid a l thunder of applause.
 Miss Webb's comic recitation was followed by an oration by Mir. Charles | A. Stauffer entitled Our Relations to the Philippines" one that Senator Beveridge of Indiana. delivered before the senate last year Mir. Stauffer's style was masterly and clear He had perfect composure and seemed to de- lighted to look the audience in the eye and give them truths to digest. A ! graduate of an eastern college who was present. said that it sounded ex- actly like the speech of a senator whose life depended upon the success of his argument.
 | Mir Stauffer's oration was followed by the closing number. recitation, Home Sweet Home" by Miss Hattie | Green. The minute she began her work | it was plainly discernable that she was to make a success of her comic recita- | tion. which included some singing. She was loudly applauded and certainly did an excellent piece of impersonat- ing. As she left the stage the audi ence was left guessing as to the sue cessful contestant. Each one of the participants had a host of friends con | fidant of his or her success for the gold. medal. The judges were Miss Mills of the Phoenix high school, Prof. J. D. Loper. principal of the Mesa public schools. and Mir C. w. Miller. editor of the Tempe News.
 While the judges were conferrng outside the school sang several choruses. after which Mir. F. M. Irish was called out. and for the judges, gave the decision. MT. Irish congratu- lated the contestants upon every in- dlvidual success and with well chosen words delivered the Broadway X Moeur gold medal to Miss Hattie | Green.
 With this the exercises closed. The contestants were profusely congratu- lated. especially the winning contes- | tant. Miss Greene has worked hard for | this and deserved all the credit her many friends could shower upon her. The medal is of an exceptionally fine pattern and well may be the pride of | Miss Green. The firm giving the prize are progressive and their interest in the Normal is greatly appreciated by ' the students.

Many college graduates and other educated people were profuse in their praise of the work of the participants. They said that the work. taken as whole. was as good as many similar entertain ments by the best colleges in the United States.
 The auditorium was handsomely dec- Drated with flags. flowers and greens. also with "1901" woven in crepe and olive branches. The beauty of the decoration was due 10 the artistic en- ergy of Mrs. Averll and Miss smith of the Normal faculty.
 Harry Hendrix on the mandolin and Miss McNulty on the piano, rendered the music of the evening. Several ehoruses were sung by the students. Rev. Martin E. Bird favored the audi snee with one of his fine selections an xG ha xxa sponded with another exquisite selee- fion.

TEACHING OF LITERATURE.


 The popularity of certain kinds of book: need not be taken to mean that there is little literary taste in the com munity; it rather seems to show that a new public, as yet in an elementary stage of culture, is being found by our authors. and especially by our novelists. Probably, Indeed, the best reading, no less than the worst, finds. a wider au- dience than 1t ever did. Yet 1t may be doubted if knowledge of literature has kept equal pace with increase in popu- lation. Fewer persons in proportion know the classics of the world. all though one cannot tell how the balance may be :.hifted when Mir. Fosters good example Is generally followed and every city has standard library" accessi-
 ble to the public. It is In familiarity
 with the books themselves. rather than in set instruction in literature. that the educating process will be carried on. Mr. Andrew Lang. for example. says that literature cannot be taught at all: and those who arg familiar with mod ern methods of teaching will at least agree that it is not taught. The young- ar generation are painfully ignorant on
 many points: and where they have knowledge 1t Is of the machine made order that does not do them much good. Mir. Lang gives us a leaf from his own experience. When at school" he says. "I must have been one of the most literary of my young companions; indeed, as Scott said when a boy. You can't think how ignorant these boys were Like the rest, went to an Eng fish class till l was fourteen, after
 which we were supposed to know all about English literature, and turned to higher things. Dismal handbooks about EGower and I.ydgate were placed in our reluctant and grubby little fists. My
 memory is not solled with any recol- lection of the contents of these manu- als. We were expected to read The Task, by the ingenius MT. Cowper: but I read 'Tirocinium.' poem about the very worst boys. except those in 'Stalky & Co.,, who are yet more odfous
 And that is. all the teaching in English literature that I and my contempo-
 raries ever received There is still
 too much talk about books and too little acquaintance with them. Of course literature has history, and this should be known. but why need hand
 books be so dull and uninspired. and why should teachers be so little capable of inspiring enthusiasm?
 Reading for human pleasure" to quote Mir. Lang again is the best edu- eater after all. It is seldom that gen.
 uine love of literature is developed
 from mere instruction. Schools can do little in this direction for boys and girls
 who have no books at home. The read . | ing habit must be formed early and
 must be pursued as a recreation, not as
 task. 'The ingenious Mir Cowper" | was indeed true poet. but his longest | poem Is not especially interesting to | boys and girls. Furthermore, reading l for human pleasure does not consist ! mainly in delving into facts and hunt
 ing up allusions: and these are the oc- | equations some teachers seem chiefly
 to delight in.-Providence Journal.
