Science. art and religion are the
names man has given to his noblest
appreciations
The art of appreciation has many
teachers, William Wordsworth is one
of the simplest and best. In his poems
one finds a rare sympathy for nature. a
fine recognition of human excellence,
and far reaching thoughts about God.
In his photographed poem, ''The

early training. Between the lines we

to keep.

he fitted for college was well adapted
to poet making. The village was be-
side a lake and among the hills. The
scholars lived mostly out of doors. The
diffiderce and modesty of beauty and
| the self sufliciency of solitude crept
! into his sensitive heart. The song of
an invisible bird" heard in n ruined
' abbey where all else was somber, gave
