TRACED GROWTH
OF MODERN POETRY

AT the first meeting January II of
the Faculty Club of the State Normal
School President Allen read a paper on
the "New Era In Poetry" The
speaker in addition gave many side
lights" which emphasized the points
he brought out. The following is
condensed article on what he had to
say.
erence was made to the lack OF gen
eral interest in poetry which rrevalleo
a few years ago. Two reasons were
jpiven for this condition--tha poetry
was artificial and far removed from
everyday life, and there was no great
movement to furnish an incentive FOR
developing latent talent.
The revival Of interest in poetry
NAV be properly connected with the
unrest and growing demand for free
dom and independence in government
and industry. John Masefieh referred
IN this growing interest when he Wis
tied America in 1918. He at that time
called attention to the fact that before
Chaucer, and again before SNAKES
peare, England was intensely interest
ed in poetry, and he ventured the pre-
diction that the present poetic revolt
is making ready for master.
Walt Whitman, the forerunner OF
the poetic revolt in this country, ex-
pressed the feeling OF dissatisfaction
which existed in the minds OF many
when he wrote: "a !
Come, Muse, migrate from Greece ana
1onia.
Cross out, please, those immensely
overpaid accounts; $,
That matter Of Troy and Achilles,
wrath, and AEneas' and Odysseuls,
P p aRemoved" and ITO Let on
the rocks of your snowy Par
For know a better, fresher, buster
sphere; wider, untried domain
awaits and demands you.
What the present revolt will &C
complish cannot be satisfactorily an
swered at the present time. Critics
who are hostile to the new movement
claim that the revolutionists chafe
under the restrictions of classic models
because they have not the talent to
write according to these models. Inc
reyolutionists reply that the new
forms Of poetry require as much tai.
ent as do the traditional forms OF
classic models. Hostile critics call
the new movement the menace OF an
archv against order and beauty, while
the advocates Of the new poetry call
the movement revolt against sterile
and petrifed forms.
Attention was called to the fact
that the proposal Of modern writer's
to change the form of poetry IS not
in itself unprecedented. Reference
was made to similar revolts in the his
tory Of English prosody. After dis
cussion of the characteristics q the
Imagists, and the giving Of the Credo
of the Imagists, specimens OF unitary
verse. spaced prose, mosalcs, ana
blends were given.
Reference was made to the expert
ments of DR.. William M. Patters on IN
the psychological laboratory OF Cos
lumbia University.
In conclusion the statement was
made that the poetic revolut ,onists
should be given credit for reviying an
interest in poetry, at least. The opin-
ion was EXPIRE ssed that it Is extre ne4y
unlikely that their present attempts
will survive for any long period OF
time. It may be, however. that this
revolt will contribute to the develop
ment Of verse which while differing
in form and content, shall rival the
great productions Of traditional poe-#
try.

few normal schools know, is more in
evidence that in some church owned
schools. It is indeed encouraging that
the State Manual Training Normal
School at Pittsburg, Kansas, has for
the last ten, years carried bible
course of study, one hour q week, and
has given credit for it; and that it in
the past three years has given courses
in Christian Evidence, New Tesla
ment, Social Teachings of Jesus and
Ethics of Jesus. This trait alone
makes the teachers college more de-
sirable than a state college of the
type where information on Homer.
Plato, Moses, Mohammed is required,
but where information about Jesus,
or Paul is taboo, as If they never con-
tributed anything to history.
AS to democracy, the fact that the
normal schools not a. school Of social
prestige, but is the struggling teach
ers schools significant. Add to this
its close contact with the children in
the grades, it's reserved attitude to-
ward aristocratic fraternities, its dis
couragement Of class riyalries - and
the preservation of the democratic
spirit is self-evident.
President Frank H. H. Roberts of
the New Mexico Normal University.
has well said "The state institutions
cannot duplicate the religious and
democratic spirit Of normal schools.
The Teachers College Response TO-
the Needs of the High School as
Well as to the Needs of the
Grades
The normal school attained to its
majority, or the teachers college,. IS
through it's graduates morally entitled
to create the same kind Of spirit in the
high schools and should be legally en-
titled to respond to the demands OF
high, schools for normal school gradu-
ates as teachers. For. as President p.
L. Hendricks Of the Central State
Teachers College at Warrensburg
stated in an address before the Nor
NAL School presidents at Atlantic City,
February 1918, the high school is
known as the weakest section Of our
entire system of education. "Why is
it true that if we begin with the kin.
dergarten and the graduate school OF
the university our converging lines OF
least effectiveness will meet in the
high SCHOOL, His answer is: the lack
of professional training.
This training can be had in the
teachers college, not exclusively, but
to such a degree, both socially and ed
ucationally, that there should be no
hesitancy in making the normal
schools teachers colleges, thus giving
them their proper and by inheritance
rightful place in our educational sys-
tenn, SO they. may serve the high
schools as they have served and shall
serve. the grades. z.sis ..z. i H- -.

Will the conversion Of the normal
school into a teachers college increase
the expenses? It is safe to say that
in most normal schools there would
not be any need Of additional teach
ers to do the extra work required for
the extended course, though in some
of the schools the present number OF
teachers is not large enough to carry
even the courses already allotted them.
This holds true especially OF schools
that are offering five years OF
work. three Of. which cover
a high school course. But II

noon are various courses all Of which
will count on certificate or on the de-
gree of Bachelor of Education"
Our state normal schools should:
course, or even with high school work
order to take up some studies at the
normal school, unless the remoteness
of the nearest high school or some UNI
desirable condition in the home school
iustifes such change.
Normal Schools Should Become Teach
ers Colleges
A perusal of the catalogues Of our
more than 1O6 State normal schools
and Of letters I have received in the
light of educational demands and sup
ply, quantitatively and qualitatlvely
lead to conclusions like the following:
Our state normal schools, should,
wherever it is possible and practl-
cable, cease to vie with high schools.
They should not solicit student ma
terial from the eighth grade or en-
courage high school students to make
a break in their high school work in
as soon as conditions permit, give q
four wears course and a degree, with
out doing away with the two year
where the retention of this is abso-
lutely necessary, for some years.
Such an arrangement would not create
disharmony. There are many schools
in TIE United States that offer a four
wear school course, a four year col
lege course, and 2 three year theo-
aogical course-all under the same
roof. Anyone intimately acquainted
with the working Of such school
would find no difficulty in coordinat-
ing four year course Of collegiate
stamp with the other courses already
given in our normal schools. Of course
