Ha |, Advanced and
Still Advancing Poets!


L of Yale knows a poet when he sees
one-and sometimes, perhaps when no
doesn't. His selection of poets is not q
matter of great importance pos
sibly, TO the poets whom it overpasses.
But it becomes rather interesting when
it is considered in connection with the
title, The Adrdnce of English Poetry :"
the Twentieth Century. When you say
advance" you command comparison of
the present and the past, and so Prof.
Phelps seems to ask us to accept Alfred
Noyes, Louis Untermeycr and Sara Teas
dale (fOr example) as an Improvement
over Swinburne, Tennyson, Wordsworth,
Shelley, Byron.
Perhaps they are; but it is pretty sure
thing that more people to-day are reading
Longfellow than are reading Edgar Lee
Masters, and more copies OF Tennyson
than of Robert Frost are passed across
the bookshop counters. Winch may or
may not prove anything worth proving.
But it does test that title pretty severely
when We come upon the chapter title, "A
Group of Yale Poets" Do Yale poets adj
vance by battalions? Another chapter is
THE Irish Poets'-but every real Irish
man is poet, and every good poet is a
bit of an freshman. Yale seems almost
to overdo the thing, with her mass for
nation.
Prof Phelps is something of poet
himself, as witness his remark in the
preface: "Amd the winds of doctrine
and the gusts of sentiment, the old tunes
are heard" And he has way of letting
earnestly considerable remarks run with
out emphasis down the smooth stream ot
his talk: "The fashion in poetry is al
ways swinging from Spenser to Dome,
and back again" Now, he says, the
Dome influence is wider than at any
time since the mid -scventecnth century,
The professors talk about his chosen
poets is so smooth and unstartling, goes
down SO easily, that it can hardly be deep
criticism. For one reader who turns
away with a sigh hundred will assemble
joyously to the feast and arise joy"usly
at the end, well filled, TO call its provider
blessed.
Prof. Phelps admires and likes Henley,
but he is not too austere to tell tins story
which may be true, or only well found,
but certainly has flavor: James Whit
comb Riley regarded Henley's most fam
ous lyric-"an assertion of the indomita
bic human will in the presence of adverse
destiny"-with genial contempt, 'think-
ing that the philosophy it represented
was not only futile but dangerous, in that
it ignored the deepest facts of human
life" He once asked to have the poem
read aloud to him, "and when the reader
had finished imprcSSively
az am the Master of my fate:
I am the Captain Of my soul
The he'd you are!' said Riley, with a
laugh" lncorrigible Hoosier. detachable
pagan.
The poets selected TO represent the "ad-
vance" may have rivals, but you will
travel far before you find any one who
writes about poets and poetry more pleas
ingly than Prof. Phelps does.

The versatility of the travelling
man is proverbial and now it seems
that a juror in the Long trial had his
life saved at the Montpelier House
Friday morning when he thought he
was choking to death while eating an
egg at his breakfast. The commercial
traveller shouted "Hold him boys"
and then grabbed the frightened man
by the throat. His mouth opened
automatically to get some air and the
stranger thrust his hand into the
jurors mouth as far as his wrist.
The egg, etcetera, followed the line

Beethoven's Colossal name" was

Able Liszt, writes London CORE
spondent of the Christian Science
Monitor. He says 1t was used to
crush all contemporary composers
and tells more than one story Of
tests that he applied to find out if
the crowd were indeed "subjugated
by the power of genius or whether
their brilliant displays Of enthusi-
assn" were not largely induced by
mere attribution of composition to
the great master.
An inversion Of the order of the
program on a particular occasion
showed decisively how the case stood.
Without any explanation a trio Of
Pixis was played in the place of
one by Beethoven. The braves were
more numerous, more brilliant than
ever; and when the trio Of Beethoven
took the place assigned to that of
Pixis it was found TO be cold, medi-
OGRE and even tiresome.

MANY FLOWERS HAVE EYES
Potato by No Means the Only Grow.
Ing Thing That Is Thus Equipped
By Nature.

Most people are aware that po-
tatocs have eyes, but how many
know that certain common garden
and wild flowers are similarly
equipped? The nssturtium, begonia,
clover, wood sorrel and bluebell,
among others, have eyes placed on
their teaves. They are tiny pro-
truberances filled with transparent
gummy mixture, which focuses the
rays Of light upon a sensitive patch
of tissue behind them. A nastur-
tium has thousand such eyes on
its leaves, but it is not yet known il
the plant can actually see.
Are the sense impressions tele-
graphed to some central nerve CORE
spending with the brain Of the AMI
nal kingdom? In addition to this
vital organ, many plants show 4
touch Of sensitiveness that points to
further resemblance to animals,
while certain seaweeds and MOSES
in an early stage OF their existence
are able actually TO swim through
the water.

SCHOOL NOTES
vAsHoN
100000 NEEDED AT ONCE


yashon High School is looking
forward to having one Of the best
years in IFS history.
With an enrolment of about
forty pupils, and with many add
ditional subjects, such as manual
training and commercial course,
prospects look bright. Not only
this, but there are forty pupils in
who will be freshmen within the
next two years. So, the future of
Vashon High looks fine.
But. there is one thing neees-
sary TO every good high school,
that is lacking al Vashon; that is
a gymnasium.
A gym. is the one thing needed
to help build up voshon High
School.
AS far ms winning basketball
games, Vashon has made poor
showing. Not because we lacked
players of ability and fighting
spirit, but becaus we have not
had a place to practice. Under
the circumstance il has been inn
possible for the boys to keep in
condition. Practice all has to be
done at night, and with some boys
living at Dilworth, some at Glen
Acres and some on the west side
this is not practical. The boys
just get home from school and
only have time to do their chores
and eat supper. Then they have to
walk two or three miles lin the
rain many tines to Vashon. At
ter getting warmed up from a
long practice game they have to
walk home again in the cold.
Then people ask us why we fail
to win some basket ball games. Is
it any wonder we failY
And now it seems we cannot use
the "old cheese-box" Y. NJ. C. A.
. hall, as it is being utilized for the
moving picture shows. So our only
land one best hope for "a basket
ball floor this yearis a gym at the
school. And to secure this the
high school pupils propose to
raise enoagh by popular sub
cription and donations of labor.
So come oil, Vashon, and get be-
hind the project and shove for ali
YOU are worth. The high school
boys have started the bali rolling;
several have already pledged
good subscription, and before The
week closes we expect to have
over hundred dollars raised in
the school alone
Let's all get together and boost
for a gymnasium at yashon high
school. Then we can sit back in
our easy chairs and watch vashon
grow.
Everybody, together
