Modern literature, compared with
ancient literature. is careless, slipshod.
not wholly grown Up; it has little
sense Of responsibility The chief
duty It sets refore itself is to hold
the mirror up to nature and reflect the
uhintelligible happenings of life, in
all their confusion. their inconsistency,
their inanity Ancient literature was
dominated by a very different purpose.
It had profound sentiment of high
duty The creation. so it seems to the
ancients, had been left incomplete, and
man, as the creature most divine, was
charged with the labor of carrying on
the uncompleted task With bold
hearts the Greeks set to work to piece
out the incompleteness with literature,
especially with poetry. to make I'D for
the neglect of the gods by human

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE HOME
Serenity and Wisdom Of Wife and
Mother Dew and Sunshine to
Growing Souls.

Wherever the great and beautiful
work of art. home. had come into
being, the wife and mother has had
her paramount existence in that home
though her interests and activities
have not necessarily been limited to
its sphere. declares Ellen Key in the
Atlantic. But husband and children
have been able to count on her in the
home as they could count on the fire
on the hearth. the cool shade under
the tree. the water in the we'll, the
bread in the sacrament. Thus upon
husband and children is bestowed the
experience which great poet gained
from his mother. "All became to her
a wreath" A wreath where every
days toll and holidays Joy. hours of
labor and moments of rest, were leaf
and blossom and ribbon. The wise
educator is never one who is "educat-
ing" from morning to night She is
one who. unconsciously to the chill
dren, brings to them the chief susie
nance and creates the supreme con-
ditions for their growth Primarily
she is the one who, through the Sc
renity and wisdom of her own ma
ture, is dew and sunshine to growing
souls. She is one who understands
now to demand In just measure. and
to give at the right moment. She is
one whose desire is law, whose smile
is regard. whose disapproval is pun
ishment, whose caress is benediction.

Paper Cannon.

To the amazingly long list of ar

But the resistance is greater than that

Beautiful Leicester.

Leicester. the latest town to offer
the sport of by-election, has learned
how to make herself beautiful from
unpromising materials. She has no
suitable building stone handy, and.
therefore, out of red bricks, put to-
gether by cunning architects, she has
constructed a city unlike any other in
England. A local art school has fos-
tered the spirit of beauty, and thus
Leicester has triumphed over her
limitations. She has been described
as a rosyred town set in a mass Of
greenery. Even the lamp posts have
been designed by sculptor. who is
not ashamed to let them bear his
name-London Chronicle.
