There was so little for Jay TO do as Chief

OF the patriots that the New York Legislature
resolved that the situation would constitution

out vacating his seat on the bench. Soon after
taking his seat in Congress Jay was elected
President, and thenceforward. until no was
sent to Spain as Minister. his biography is n

mandate was to adjust the territorial dispute
regarding the district then known as the New

boundaries to arbitrntion but as Congress

for whose payment caused him endless mortl-

II was time that a volume In the American
Statesmen Series" should be allotted to John
Jay. for he unquestionably occupied larger
place in the eyes OF his countrymen and for a
longer period than many OF the men who have
already been deemed worthy to figure in this
collection. A mere enumeration OF his public
services will demonstrate that mono OF his con-
temporarios. II we EXCEPT Washington and
Franklin, had a higher claim upon popular
respect and confidence. lie was conspicuous

Congresses. a chief Trainer OF the first State

Secretary for Foreign Affairs under the Con-
federation, Chief Justice OF tho United States.

John jays childhood was passed at his
fathers country seat near Rye. in Westchester
county. His fathers house was a long. low
building. but one room deep. extended as the
family increased by some eighty feet In length.
When about 10 years of age he was sent to a
boarding school at New Rochelle kept by the
Rev. Peter Stoope, the pastor OF the Fren,
Huguenot church. Mr.. Fellow recalls the in
terestinG fact that at that time French was
generally spoken not only at the parsonage,
but also by the people OF the village of New
Rochelle, who were chieHv descondants NJ
French refugees. To these early associations
was due the mastery of the French language,
which jay afterward fopnd useful IN the dis.
charge of his diplomatIc functions In 1780
when little over IA. Jaw entered Kings nov
Columbiay College. Mr. pelIew mentions the
requisites for admission, but omits to tell us
what was the college curriculum at that De-
Rod. We presume that it was as lax in point
OF scholarship and meagre in respoct of
scope as was the Harvard curriculum at the
same epoch. Jay was destined Tor tho bar, and
In l7C4 WAS accepted as student in the ofllce
