Regular monthly meeting of tho Board of Education will be held on the secon d Tuesday of the month , April 14. The weekly assembly of the Hig h school was held the last period on Friday afternoon. Three members of the Senior class delivered their ora- tions. Anna Walters on the Virgin Island , .Harry Marganoff on the For- ests of the United States and Eliza- beth Koschara , on Fa ' mous Writers of Long Island. In that the last con- tains many -items of local interest it is given herewith. Famous Writers of Long Island •It is -very interesting, indeed , to note how many famous writers h ave lived on Long Lsland. We who l ive on Long Island should know somer thing about them. Walt Whitman , who is called by some foreign critics , the greates . t of American poets , was born May 31' . 1819 , at West ' Hills , thirty milft^ from New York City on the - \fish shaped\ Long Island. Mr. Whitman was \ con- nected with the \iBrooklvn Daily Eagle \ for seve ral years. He was an intense American. He renounced all alleg iance to the past and' looked to the future with splendid confidence. His stalwart verse was irregular , but pften it was beautifully rhythmic. Whitman ' s finest poem is the Burst of agony called forth by the assassi- nation of President Lincoln , \0 Cap- tain , My Captain , \ which is familiar to all of us. Eve n James Russe)! Lowell' s noble eulogy could not com- pare with it. His residence in later life was spent at Camden , New J er- sey, where he designed and built his own tomb. He died March 26 , 1892 oiid his death was sincerely niourncd o . v all those who knew him. John Howard Payne , an American I actor and p laywright , was born in New York City, June 9 , 1791. He spent his childhood at East Hampton , Long Island. The bankruptcy of his father caused him to discontinue his studies. He then took up acting to support his family. He lived in Lon- dpn for several years where he adapt- ed many French plays , producing original ones. The song which U familiar to all of us , \Home Sweet , Home \ occurred in his opera \Clare \ or the '\Maid of Milan \ given at tho Covert Theatre in London. This song has made the author immortal because of the feelings associated with it. At East Hampton , there is n place called the home of '*Home , Sweet, Home. \ Anyone who wishes may go N th rough it. Mr. Payne was a houseless , home- less wanderer. He died April Hi , 1852 , at Tunis , Africa, where he had been American consul for reveral years. William Culle n Bryant , poei and editor was bom at Cummlngton , Mass. , Nov . 3 , 1794. In 1825 he went to New York and entered work which proved to be his life long work— \Jou rnalism \ with the Evening Post. He worked himself up to the chief editor. Mr. Bryant made the Even- ing Post a newspaper ' of highest ranks. In later life! he spent many hours at his home in Roslyn , Lon g Island , where he transcribed the \Iliad\ and the \Odyssey. \ Mr . Bry- ant , after he had delivered a speech in Central Park , fell on the stone steps of General Wilson ' s home. The fall proved fstal as he died two weeks later. He was btrried at Roslyn , Long Island. .. . ... . Theodore Roosevelt , the 25th presi- dent of the United States , Was .born in New York City. His health \When small being delicate , he was educated at home. On a western ranch he ob- tained material for several books , such as \The Hunting Trips of a Ranchman , \ \The Wilderness Hunt- er \ and others. Xt the close of his term of office as president , he went to Africa on a hunting and collecting trip, allied with \Smithsonian Insti- tute. \ He wrote interesting accounts of his experience . for the \Scribner ' s Magazine. \ Soon after his return , Mr. Roosevelt became associate editor of the \Outlook. '' The family home is at Oyster Bay, Long Island. Mr. Roose- velt spent his \ last days there. He died in 1919. Grant Martin Overton , though not so famous as the othe rs I have men- tioned , is of local interest. Mr. - Over- ton was born in Patchogue , Sept. 19 , 1887 , and later attended the Pat- ch ogue High school , ffe was associ- ated with the newspapers , New York Times , Denver ' Post and San Francis- co Examiner , for several years. He is gaining fame for himself as a critic of other novels . Mr. Overton is still living and will continue writing books. We often hear of the historical ' im- portance of Long Island , but seldom consider its literary /importance. From the facts I have \iveri you , I feel confident that.you will be more interested in our writers.
