March I, 1912. : Literature and Life. nonnsss BY MISS nrn'nr. season or ILDERTJN AT FENELON FALLS w.I. momma, FEBRUARY 2181‘. We in Canada to-dav are not a. literary people. > In most homes there are a few books, and it is rarely we find people making friends of books. By making a friend of a book I mean readingit over and over againâ€"making it a part of ourselves. Children in school get a certain knowledge of literature, repre- sentative of the best in poetry and‘ prose. This is intended to stimulate their interest in literature. Take for instance an extract from The Mill on the Floss, and dilfercnt poems in the school readers. These are expected to lead theistudent to follow the authors into other fields of poetry and fiction. If they do not it is chiefly because these things are not known and loved at home. The study of literature can begin in a. very small way, and it will stimulate an interest, in other things outside the small circle to which many are confined. We in Canada have no literature of our own, though we have writers who have produced sweet poetry and good prose. The Scotch people have their Burns. who was 'able to E invest. the commonplace things of daily life ‘with romance and sentiment. The reason people love' to read fiction is because they often find their own thoughts expressed in the words of the author. A thought express- ed doubles its value. A well told story brings the reader in touch with all kinds of life, but there should be a wisechoice in fiction if we are to receive benefit from it. 'l‘o-day we have to be content with the literature of other lands. » The Bible, the foundation of Anglo~Saxon literature, the book which . has celered all our thoughts and ideas of life, and moulded public opinion, has been given to us by the people of Israel. It speaks to human. hearts. and fills them with a love. of: truth and righteousness; Among the arts architecture, sculpture, painting, music and literature, .the last, the only one which makes. “no. appeal to the senses, .the poorest and! men-nest and' most universal, is the one which the Divine Spirit has taken to manifest Itself to humanity. Poetry-and rythm are the natural ways of expressing joy and happiness. Nursery, rhymes .aae tlmli=l~eruture for little children, and the child is delighted with the simple words and swinging rythm, which would not appeal to it in prose. Life has been compared. to a gleam of light. Poetry ham the. thought expressed in words Sudden. music lacks. Poetry above allaappeals to the imag- inatiom. Iiwel‘ose the faculty of imag- ination we lose the fundamentals of belief in life eternal. To show the appeal to the imagination in poetry. the speaker reciteda verse of Tennyson's Princess beginning, “Home they ‘brought her warrior dead," which she then gave in prose. The dificrence was so marked that one could scarcly believe the words meant exactly the same thing. i The practical value of literature in ’fifting one out of the narrow life, in cultivation of the mind and heart, is of untold value. All literature is inherent in the heart before it goes into books. We find here the expression of ourselves, and heart responds to heart. If children go amongreflned people, they respond, as a rule, and become refined; if they are thrown into the company of coarse fandmough people,_somc other. element is naturally awakened. WTOmen ofl'refinel ment seek expression in many ways ; in clothes, home, furniture, they show their love of the beautiful, the good and the true. There. is one. thing above all others thatgwonramcan do best of all, because she has had centuries of train- ing behind her;she can create the , spirit of home., This is the greatest gift that womeupossess. It is not the merely materialthings of the home that countdoranesthib, is the spirit of the home-maker. Mimic is conducive to happiness in thchome, but. there is one thing music lachmhhe element of thought. . Canada i$ mama-making, and her women cannot afford; to let any opportunities slip. Let her flnd out when is really Iworth while, and work. for it. The speaker. concluded with a Shakespearean. reading, the balcony.scene from Romeo and Juliet, which wasnxuch appreciated. Railway Wreck at Haliburton. One of the results..of thebig snow stormsthat. has tied up. railway trailic the past week wasan accident ,at Halfâ€" burton on Friday, when a snowplough and twu enginesjumped the track, right beside the lake” the plough and one engine going into the water.

Auxiliaries were sent up from Lindsay as soon as possible, and had a tough contract get- ting the wreck on the track again. They were brought back to Lindsay on Mon- day.

A.’ Cameron and D. Robert- son, the Board has decided to rearrange and improve the grading of the existing classes at the schools, and has engaged a continuation class teacher to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Miss Cowlcs. The south ward school, it is understood, will be used exclusively for continuation work, and the north ward for other classes. The change will obviate the necessity of resident pupils going to Lindsay Collegiate, and among other advantages there will be a saving of some $400 by reason of the increased grants, due to the higher grading of the school. ‘ v-- For the Mason Shield.
