Organized in December, 1919, this

How to Know Poetry.

We literates have been taught to
read poetry, and taught also that IL
is highly commendable to enjoy II. In
order to know what kind of poetry
ought to be especially. enjoyed, we read
other books. written by critics. In or
der to understand what the poetry
that ought to be admired means, we
read other books by professional
grammarians. BY the time we have
finished this preparatory reading. we
are somewhat confused. We are in
doubt as to what poetry actually is,

predicament we fall back on the print

NATIONS DEBT TO PILGRIMS
Their Famous Compact of Government
Rightly Treasured as a Great
State Document.

In the harbor at the tip of Cape
Cod occurred the first birth and the
first death among the Pilgrims in
America. On board the MayfOwer, as
she lay at anchor, was born Pere-
CRIME, son of William and Susanna
White. Here was another child for
tlR ships nursery, already occupied by
little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
the light of day far out at sea.
The death was that of Dorothy May,
wife of William Bradford, future gov
ernor of Plymouth colony. She was
drowned.
First Of Importance, however, Of
all that occurred here, and also in
the sequence of events, was the draw
ing up and signing of the famous COM
pact of government originally desig-
mated by Bradford in his history as "a
combination" And so 1t was, i'm the
most literal sense, a combination.
This agreement, made in writing by
