Browning class.

Mrs. Maggie w. Barry of Sherman
Texas, lectured to the Browning class
on English Ballads
Mrs. Barry prefaced her readings
by speaking of the value OF poetry
and the early English ballad as
compared to ballads of the later
poets.
Many people are prone to say
that poetry is not fundamental,
while in reality it is the greatest
source for the acquiring Of inspira-
tion in the expression of personal
ity-in both kinds, the racial and
individual-poetry has not been sur
passed. 1t is the universal art.
The strongest law upon which
poetry is based is that of rhythm,
which appeals to one of the oldest
anG strongest of our instincts.
The two divisions of poetry are
narrative and lyric; some add epic,
but the epic poem may be regarded
as a form of narrative.
Narration has always been an ele-
ment in our poetry, because it grows
out of our instinct of story telling.
Curiosity and wonder are the very
oldest of race characteristics and 81
basic in their Importance that as
long as we possess them We will
never grow old.
Curiosity is a powerful stimulant
to comradeship and an incentive to
do things.
As Mrs. Barry noted the smiles
that were going the rounds of the
class she admitted that she was
speaking of curiosity-in modera
ton.
Our most popular poetry is writ
ten in the two beat rhythm; the
three beat is more artificial. The
two beat is the rhythm of nature,
the rhyme of the raindrop, of the
heartbeat, of the wind.
Every sound in nature that isn't
a noise, has rhythm. The mother
hears the child's cry and knows
whether it is of pain or pleasure by
the variations of rhyme.
In olden times people we're bound
by their emotions. Narrative poetry
is based on emotions, and deals with
adventures.
The only obvious elements of old
communal poetry are rhythm, de-
pending on the accent when they
clapped their hands or stamped their
feet, repetition, and ALTERATION, the
most obvious of all melodic ele-
ments.
The form of this early poetry came
to its full development in tho time Of
Chaucer.

In conclusion, Mrs. Barry read
from Browning.

furnishings, needed little adornment.
Vases of chrysanthemums ana ferns
were used as floral decorations.
The comfort cf the guests had

Resigned or Request.

While DR.. Jameson resigned at
Mercer. he only did so after his res
ignation was requested by the trus-
tees. and while his contract had a
year to run He says he could have
stayed another year. but did not care
to remain where there was open fric-
ton
The trouble between President
Jameson and the prudential commit
tee of Mercer began when he pro-
NOTED the agitation for the removal
of Mercer to Atlanta. DR.. Jameson
felt that Mercer needed more room,
and that Macon was not big enough
for the institution.
Mercer Extension Provided.
Accordingly, he introduced the
proposition in the Georgia Baptist
Association, where it was a live is
sue for three years. Only last year
was the question settled definitely in
favor Of Macon, and only then after
the people of Macon had agreed to
provide for MERGERS extension.
This year DR.. Jameson stirred up
another hornets nest when he open
ly advocated the abolition OF the
Greek letter fraternities although
himself a member of the Phi Delta
Theta.
