Old and New Poetry
Altruistic Study Theme
Mrs. L. N. Hayes was hostess for^
the April 2 meeting of the Altruis-
• tic Club when an interesting pro-
gram on “Poetry, Old and New”
was given by Mme& Roy D. Cham-
bers and Carl Ramsey.
Opening her talk on “Selections
•of Ancient Poetry” with the timely
sayings, “He who feels an elevation
on reading true poetry is a poet
though, he ever wrote a line” and
'“You will find poetry no where
unless you bring some with you,”
Mrs. Chambers discussed the his-
tory of poetry, which, she says,
dates back to 2,000 B. C., giving
some examples of the better known
works of each period. The earliest
poems, according to the speaker,
of which there is any record were
written by Hesied, who dealt with
.agriculture and wrote several ad-
xnonitions to his brother who took
The lion’s share of their patrimony.
His poems were written on tablets
of stone; later during Caesar’s
reign poems were written on parch-
ment and rolled on bamboo poles.
Mrs. Carl Ramsey, whose topic
was “Selections of Modern Poetry,”
read the poem, “The Murder of
Hidice” by Edna St. Vincent Mil-
lay-
During the business session, a
communication asking that the Al-
truistic, as well as other federated
clubs, contribute one book to Na-
tional Headquarters for the War
Service Library in Washington, D.
■C., was read. Among the reports
given was one concerning the re-
quest that Mrs. H. C. McKinney
