Literary Vaudeville. A New England admirer of Longfellow Longfel-low proposes that the afternoon ol February 27 of each year be set asidG in the public schools as a time to glvn special attention to the pool's life and works. Longfellow was doubtless a great American poet, but lie already has sufficient dace in the schools by being represented in every reader put iorth since he lived and wrought. And there is already too much foolishness in the schools, and too Utile reading, writing and arithmetic, f " ul r..-.3 this tendency toward holidays and special days in schools comes to an end soon, it will be necessary for teachers to take a course in vaudeville to provide, the needed variety, and about all the children will take is a vacation.
