CLAXTON ADDRESS Superintendent xix ADVERTISEMENTS Nature Study in the Poets A Choice Collection of Memory Verses Arranged for School Use by O store up in the memory choice passages of literature whence they may be drawn for one's own satisfaction and the good of one's friends is an important part of a true culture. It is a life-long pleasure and a real advantage to have thus ever at hand the means of self-expression through the medium of the language of the world's choice spirits, who have seen and felt deeply the true meaning of things and cast their thought in the finest molds of English speech. The teacher who sees to it that her classes of boys or girls commit to memory, first and last, a good many short, pithy, pertinent sentences, stanzas, lines or passages from the world's best literature will be doing them a service for which they will be grateful all their lives. This service will be of inestimable value not only as a pleasure and consolation in lonely or discouraged moments, but also as a positive and efficient means of intellectual growth. We cannot think and say over great thoughts of noble thinkers, expressed in rhythmic and happily chosen language, without acquiring new powers of thought and expression ourselves. The mind grows by what it feeds on. Many a humble boy or girl's life has been saved from ruin or lifted above the commonplace by just such a service as that which is so happily rendered by Miss Thomas's book. The volume is the result of an unusually successful effort on the author's part to do in the class room for her own pupils the work which we have suggested in the above sentences. With rare discernment and exquisite literary taste she has searched the writings of the poets for those happy and inspired passages in which they have caught the very essence of some thought of God as expressed in nature, and have put it into musical English. She has drawn not only from the well-known poets like Wordsworth, Longfellow, Bryant, but also from some original sources. A number of bird poems, for instance, of unusual merit, and never before published, are contributed by a friend of the author. The selections on the Seasons are arranged so as to portray the Season's advance; that is, the stanzas coming first under the head of Spring give the sights and sounds of early spring, those which follow carrying the thought forward with the maturing season. "Sounds from the Sea," and "Notes from the Field and Wood," are particularly rich and suggestive sections. There are brief quotations suitable for special days such Resourceful teachers will as Arbor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. find many ways of using this delightful volume, which is alike valuable in the class room and on the home table. "It would be well if a copy of this artistically arranged and printed volume could be put in the hands of every pupil in the public schools." From the School Journal (N. Y.) "The volume is especially notable for its typographical beauty."
