His description of the wretche6
methods followed by many teachers
in handling the classics strikes the
ear with an all too great familiarity
How many times have we not seen
the noblest passages tormented out
of any semblance to their original
beauty and power and left, by the
impious touch of a second-rate ex-
FOUNDER, a mass of soulless frag-
ments. 1t is not training students to
love the best in life or the best in
written words when teaching is reduc-
ed to parsing exercises, to discussing
the meaning of words, the sources of
plots, the year from which a folio
dates, or other mechanical and equally
and dry-as dust topics.
1t is the business, as it is the only
reason for being, of those who teach
literature to make the scene vivid be-
fore the mental eye of the student, to
make him picture, as if they stood be-
fore him in reality, the storm-rent
heath, the gray stone palace cursed
with crime, the leafy, trackless forest
where lovers pin their VOWS to trees
for all the artless forest world to read,

spirits fit to and fro to do their mas
stl lldSlt DiuuluS, the uiOOllll WOOdS
where fairies dance and weave their
potent spells; to teach delight in
rhythm and the exquisite combination
IF sounds; to lead him to the recog-
lition and admiration of noble sem
iments and wise reflections; to make
him feel the anger, the sorrow, the
pity, the grief, the terror, the remorse,
he joy, the tranquil happiness, and
he haunting anxiety which the charac-
ers in the play are supposed to feel.
So taught, the student instead of feel
ng bored by his books will make of
hem his friends and cherished coun-
ellors.

CHINESE DEMAND VOTE
American Born Chinese Claim inner.
ent Rights and VIII Test Case
In Court.

| CHICAGO, Mar. 19-The Chinese
American club, a newly incorporated
| association, has planned to go to the
polls here today and demand that they
be listed as electors. The association
is composed of Chinses who were born
in America,of domiciled parents. Thei1
attorney, Charles F. Hill, asserts:
IF the Chinese are challenged the
courts will be appealed to- We will
cite decision of the supreme court
of the United States in which it is de-
clared that Chinese is entitled to
citizenship when he is born of domi
ciled parents
The club also will send member to
Canada and the demand of the Cana
dian government for the $500 head tax
will be refused on the ground that the
Chinese is an American citizen.
"The argument that will follow will
have to be settled by the secretary of
state" said Mr. HILL I'VE are to make
this test case"
The club will seek an amendment OF
the Chinese exclusion laws, declaring
that hardships are imposed on Chinese
who leave the United States for China
and then wish to return.

TEACHING LITERATURE.

Princeton has always had, parti~ d
larly in the field of English Literature,
a number of notable writer's on its
faculty. A recent acquisition, the Eng
lish poet, Alfred Noyes, will be val
liable man if he can carry out in his
classrooms the ideas to which he
has given expression in speeches
and interviews. His notions as to
be taught and his protests against the
how literature should be taught
and his protests against the stupid
fashion in which ii is commonly pre-
scented show him to be person of SEN
sibility, courage and good judgment.
1.-The university students can be
guided to appreciation of poetry
by direction concerning real, not
sham aesthetics. The aesthetic
side of poetry, l think, has been
neglected by teachers. So much
attention has been paid to details
not actually essential to the work
studied. Even at Oxford, examin-
alton papers on courses in Eng
fish literature contain questions
about Shakespeare's will and Mil
toms daughters-and there is al
most no mention of the sublimity
of Hamlet" and Paradise Lost"
"They are too technical, they
deal with the sequence of the
plays, with chronology and variant
readings. They do not deal with
the essential problem, why it is
that Shakespeare is one of the
greatest beings that ever lived.
For entirely too long a time,
the study of literature has been
dominated by what may be called
the research professor. This sort
of man delights in far-fetched
comparisons. Wordsworth, he
says, got this phrase from Homer;
Tennyson, when he wrote this
stanza, was thinking of such-and-
such an ode of Horace. What of
it? How can such comments as
these lead to appreciation of
poetry?
First and foremost, the stu
dent must feel the emotional
power of poetry. I hesitate to
use the word emotional l am
afraid that shall be misunder- |!

COME ON IN, THE WATERS FINE.

So excellent suggestion as that
made by Mr.. George Buzzelle relative
to the construction of a natatorium,
the expenses and benefits of which will
be shared by university students and
townspeople, merited the immediate
and favorable response 1t received yes
terday at the chamber of commerce
luncheon. No one needs to be argued
with concerning the necessity of pro-
yiding for the boys of Moscow the
means of indulging in So desirable a
recreation as swimming. Taken all
in all, there is very little for a Mos
COW boy to do in the way of amusing
vacation, when he has a long day at
his disposal, the wonder is not that he
ever gets into mischief but that he is
as remarkably good as he generally is.
A properly constructed and managed
swimming tank would be the best
place for the average boy to spend a
good deal of his spare time.
The need of a place to swim has
long been realized but the only
scheme which ever came to our notice
that of constructing sort of tank
in the park-was not a good one and
failed of support. 1t is felt that the
park is not the proper place for a
natatorium and that nothing more the
a place to wade could ever be con
structed there. The location suggest
ed by Mr.. Buzzelle commends itself
for several reasons. 1t will be con-
venient to both students and towns
folk; it will be near the universit
heating plant in case some arrange
ment can be made for conducting the
heat to warm the water in winter; and !
it will occupy property already owned |
by the city and unsuited to any other
purpose.
It is to be hoped that President Lew
is will appoint his committee immed-
lately and that the members when Sc
lected will act with speed and energy.
so that they may be able at an early
date to submit a report

Dlssass and Poverty.

weak. mindedness are subnormal. Dsvid

education and mako opportunity" and
to this might be appropriately added,
"They bring things about; they make
events occur" Weak men arc the op.

stricken woman, until my husband
took consu mption." And who must be
told of the great poverty that trails con,
sumption? A farmer died OF typhoid
fever when the mortgage, given In part
payment for bis farm, was only One-half
paid of. His wife and little daughter
took the disease and survived only finally
to fill fuller the slums Of city where
she went with the child when the rich
man foreclosed the mortgage. Yellow
fever prevented the French from build
ing the Panama canal, and thousands
who had invested their all In canal
shares we're pauperized.
In Mexico there are thousands who
have been made blind and pauperized BY
smallpox. There are at least two mil
lion blind beggars in China, all made
blind by smallpox. 1t is only when
epidemics come, when the greater pro-
portion of lives are threatened, that we
realize the meaning of sickness and dis
ease. The ramifications Of disease are
30 complex and far reaching we can have
but a hazy idea of what disease means.
1t ia curious to note that, because OF
our stupidity, ones very industry may
bring poverty. This Is illustrated oy
the occupational diseases. Until very
recently society permitted greed to force
phossy jaw on workmen who afterward
in many instances became paupers. To
rear and protect industries, one product
of which ia poverty, is a queer condition.
The prevention Of phossy jaw will GER
rainly also prevent all the poverty which
might come from 1t.
Cigar-makers, printers and tailors are
especially afflicted with tuberculosis;
and on the pauper records appear the
names of hundreds who have followed
these occupations. A proprietor who
does not surround his employees with
the best conditions of health is breeder
of disease, poverty and crime.
Feeble-mindedness is disease condi-
ton and produces world Of poverty.
There is no cure for feeble mindedness;
it may only be prevented; and there are
only two rational methods for its pre-
ven,iou, neither of which society will
adopt. And 80 1t happens, as We
"blunder on through love and hunger" "

science are rejected, prevention is dis
regarded and disease follows civilization
