Poetry and the Teachers.

The value Of Mr.. T. E. Dewey's ad.
mirable lecture on Poetry and Song
before the State Teachers association
did not lie so much In the personal
pleasure each OF the educators re-
ceived from the address, though that
was great, as In the impetus which II
should give toward . better teaching
Of poetry and the incubation In the
teachers minds Of q better apprecia-
tion Of the real worth Of poetry In
education. The work Of the average
class In reading a piece Of verse 10
the public schools is inexpresSible. 1t
frequently is not only an insult to
the author Of the selection but Is
calculated to give the pupils a dis
taste for all verse whatsoever. Il
should not be so. The school should
tOach poetry in such . way that the
pupils will again love and appreoia-
ion for this great portion Of our liter
lture.
