Thys inbabitants of th Mayfield school district in meeting as- sembled recently discussed the need of better school accommodsiions. There was no money in sight, yet every father real- | ized that something must be done to place better educational opportunities within tke reach of his children. A special tax for school purposes was the only solution to the problem. The question of how much territory the dis- trict should embrace next presented itself. Etanford University was some distance away, but there was nothing in the world to prévent taking in at least a portion of the university and its valuable grounds. | The tax has just been levied, and the As- sessor finds that the big institution must | | help along the school district of Mayfield | In_the sum of | Meanwhile the people of Palo Alto dls- | trict were astir over its inferlor school i accommodations. Again the special tax ! &!an was inaugurated. and on top of the 58 which goes to Mayfield district the university must pay 3iS7 toward main- { taining the Palo Alto schools. The case has especial interest In view | | of the proposed amendment to the State | constitution, which provides that ail in: | | Stitutions of learning shall be exempt from taxation. | Dr. C. C.

The subject was “Some Poets of Humor and Society, from each., Among those whom Professor Gayley selected as the best examples of his toplc were Praed, Edward FitzGerald, Andrew Lang, Lockyer, Lawson and Aus- tin Dobson, the latter being titled the laureate of socléty verse writers. Of poets purely humorqus the lecturer cited Horace and James Smith, Canning. the fldll\xr of the early centu **An!

Hood the lecturer declared to be too grim a satirist to be pleasantly humorous, nd read from his “‘Ballad of May” to il- rate his point. At the general request of the audience Professor Gayley also read a few verses of Kipling's humorous ballads. —_————— Judge Willlam P.

As being loth to wear it out; And therefore bore it not about Unless on holidays, or so As men their best apparel do. | Like all ancient wit “Hudibras” has become sadly tarnished by time. Despite the fact that for two generations it was placed side by side with the best works of Milton and was evervywhers rated as | the supreme humorous masterpiece of the | language, it is almost unread to-day. How | can we laugh at jokes that take it for | | granted that we know intimately all the | | foibles and absurdities of the Puritans | and their times? Yet for mere wit some pessages of “Hudibras” have kept fairly | well.

His brother poets came in for their | share of criticism, for he declares: | Those that writs in rhyme still make ‘The one verse for the other's sake For one for sense and one for fhvyme | T think’s suffictent for one time. John Dryden, the laureate of the era made satire still more nopular. Compare his picture of the Calv \ st with Butler’ More haughty than the res:, the wolfish race Appear with belly gaunt and famished face— Never was so deformed a beast of grace. His ragged tail betwixt his legs he wears, Close clapped for shame, but his rough crest he rears And pricks up his predestinating ears. It was Dryden who first set the fashion of Jampooning in verse literary rivals. In cflecknoi” he pours out all the vials of his s | well. e ruler of the realms of non- sense, looking for a successor, thus solilo- quizes: Shad well alone my perfect image bears, Mature in dullness from his tender years, | Shadwell alone of all my sons is he, Who stands confirmed in full stupidity. The rest to some faint meaning make pretense, But Shadwell ne'er deviates into sense. | Thus he describes s publisher: | With leering looks, full-faced and freckled fair, With two left legs and Judas-colored hair, And frowsy pores that taint the ambient air. | The poWry of the intellectual era cul- | minated it Pope, the most witty of the | English poets. He was the logical product of Butler and Dryden, and he was in a sense a_culmiration. His poems have all { the flash and brilliancy of strings of dia- monds and all the coldness. Nowhere is there a touch of true humor. Take. for | instance, his picture in the “Dunciad” of the field of English literature, where { ass intones to ass, | Harmon:c twang! of le-nnr horn and brass.
