The fault / find with the average
teacher of English literature is that
he or she does not teach English lit
erature. The class may be mathemat-
ically exact as to dates, may be able
to trace the course of English litera-
ture from Beowulf down to Alfred
Austin and divide it into the various
periods, with full knowledge of the
writer's of those periods and the kind
of matter they produced, whether
drama, poetry, novel, philosophy or
history, and still have no real know
ledge of literature itself. While some
forms of literature notably poetry,
may command correctness of form and
elegance of expression, it is not that
but the soul and spirit behind it, that
makes any writing really great, and
the real teacher of literature is the
one who makes the class understand
the spirit and meaning of the work,
not the rhetorical beauties and de-
fects alone.

THOROUGHBRED ANIMALS AND
PLANTS.
IL II.

There is as much difference be-
tween thoroughbred and ordinary
plants as between thoroughbred and
ordinary animals" This statement is
made by ID. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit.
the greatest flower and vegetable
breeders in the country, and appears
in their 1910 Annual Catalogue just
issued. They argue for the great value
and economy of thoroughbred seeds.
ANY fundamental natural law which
applies 10 animals applies equally to
plants" A good COW Il. e. a thorough
bred) eats no more than poor one,
but may give twice as much butterfat.
Good blood" makes as much differ
ence with corn as with cows. But
Thoroughbred plants, like thorough
oughbred animals, are not produced
in one or two generations, for no mat
ter how superior an individual OF
common origin may be, its progeny
as a rule are like the general run of
its antecedents Hence the need for
seedsmen like d. M. Ferry & Co. They
have experience, the best plant breed
ing equipment in the United States
and the business acumen to sell only
such seeds as have been bred from
the choicest stocks for many genera
lions.
