Hon. W. w. Stetson, state superin-
endent of schools, gave the third lecture
q the Epworth League course Wednes-
ay evening at the Methodist church.
,efore the lecture solo was sung by
Hiss Susie NJ. Wheeler. Superintendent
tetson's subject was Literature and
EDUCATION, and his treatment of it is
esigned to make knowledge of English
terature much easier of accomplish
lent and more satisfactory than many
eople think, if his suggestions are
eeded. He showed that all the
thoughts of the writers of all the ages
ould be condensed into small number
{ volumes, and that the best of English
terature, and variety that covers all
IS phases of thought and forms of ex-
ression, can be had by the selection of
small number of authors. Interference
0 the selection of current periodical
literature his suggestions were likewise
aluable, and his counsel regarding the
means of getting the most out of ones
eading would if followed add much to
be pleasure and profit to be derived
rom literature. As is to be expected
rom Mr.. Stetson, his address was finish
d in style, in fact, rhetorically model.
