man In few words introduced the
speaker OF the afternoon, Miss Helen
u: Porter, one of the teachers of Eng
lish at the high school, Miss Porter
charmed her hearers from the first
with her low, clear, carrying voice,
her easy command of English, and the
sympathetic manner in which she
handled her subject. In broad way,
the speaker classified the poets into
Two groups; the first group may be
SAID to be the great or awe inspiring
| writer's which include Homer, Dante,
Milton; but the second group would
include those we love, and who seem
nearest to the human heart. In the
last group Roberts Burns would per-
maps head the list. Miss Porter dwelt
upon the hardships Of his early peas
ant life, his lowly, honorable parents.
| and read from The Cotters Saturday
Night, which gives vivid picture of
| the homelife of Robert Burns. He is
the poet of nature but always the stu
dent OF human nature. He was inter-
ested in the life in the cottage, rather
than in the tree that shades the cot
tage, or the stream that flowed past
the cottage.
The speaker eulogized the independ-
ent spirit of the man as manifested in
"A Mans Man For A That" Faith
ful to her subject Miss Porter didn't
fall to recognize the pitfalls into which
Burns fell, but she pointed out that his
life had peculiar temptations, and that
1t was ours to admire his greatness
and to forget his weakness. He stands
for all that is best in Scottish poetry.
He is the greatest song writer, and
will live forever in the hearts of the
people, in Auld Lang Syne.
Miss Combs delighted her listeners
by singing Scottish slumber song,
accompanied by Mrs. Regan.
