The present Is almost universally recog-
nized as barren age as regards poetry.

have left no Successors OF equal fame and
possible chances for Immortality. The
Goth century promises to be an era Of fact
and practical achievements so brilliant
as to be, temporarily at least, satisfy
ing.
1t is, neverth cless. gratifying to note
that even In what We have grown ac-
customed TO ADMIT IL prosaic age, or
at least the ago OF prose. poetry Is not
neglected among the Influences that
shape tho education OF youth. In the
schools OF New York, and perhaps in
those Of most cities and towns. tho
rnemorizns OF standard selections from
the poets * a part OF the educative for
mula.
How far time and taste have changed
may readily he seen by con1parison of
the school readers of to-day with those
in use n quarter or half q century ago.
This change IS made more striking by
noting, for instance. the titles of the
forty poems prescribed by the board of
education Of Western city to be mem
orizcd 10y the pupils IN their passage
through the various grades Among tho
