To Whom 1t May Concern:
My attention having been called

of the drink habit. and their claim
that it did cure in three days, elicit
ed my personal investigation, and to
do SO it became necessary for me to
send one of my people to the Insti-
tuition to be treated. This did, and
am pleased to say that he was
cured perfectly. and the patient as
sured me with great forcefulness
that he no longer had the least in
clination to drink, and that all de-

Schomasters returning to their tasks after
the holidays, and especially those who fill the
role of the literary oracle would do well to
ronder some recent observations of Mr. Andrew
Lang on Literature as She is Taught" He
,;nes not like the way in which she is taught.
For example, he observes that from "Beowulf'
10 Chaucer there is not perhaps one author
whom anybody reads for human pleasure
meaning b. anybody any member of the gen.
eral public" but, in spite of this fact, 'our I'M
fortunate Young + ople are launched on their
English literature with 'Be0wulf.'" Why should
these things be thus? Mr. Lang does not know.
He wishes be did. Coming down to later
period in the Schoolboy's long drawn out agony,
he says
For the time spent the dramatists who
preluded TO Shakespeare q mean the time spent
by SchoolbOyS and schoolgirls l leave my mali

unfortunate kindness Mr.. Garrck bequeathed

says Lamb, who, above every other form of
poetry, have ever preferred the Dramatic, of
sitting in the princely chambers. for such they
are. of poor condemned Montagu House and
culiing at will the flower of some thousand
Dramas" He culled the flowers, and
published them in delightful volume, and he
dreamed that SchoolboyS would be harried
with the names and dates of the men who grew
flowers in vast wilderness OF weeds
Mr. Lang goes on in his accustomed vein of
piayfulnesS and common sense. How the school
boy would rise up and call him blessed if he
succeeded in moving the heart of the peda-
gGgue! But we dare say Mr. Lang knows quite
well just what chance he has of performing
that miracle.
