A TALK ON HISTORY.
Two Interesting Conditions That
Now Confront Europe.


Prof. H. P. Judson, of The state university
last evening delivered before the ST. Paul
Academy of Science university extension
classes most interesting lecture on His
tory.''lA large number of students were
present-a satisfactory proof of the success
OF the movement for higher education. Prof.
Judson discoursed upon the naure Of his
tory, and traced the politics of Europe from
the congress of Vienna in 1915 up to the pres
ent time. The general characteristics of
monarchy were discussed, showing that thev-
tended to pit the wealthy and privileged aris-
locracy. together with church established
by law, against the unprivileged masses,
whose chief functions were to pay taxes and
fill the armies.
The learned lecturer showed how social
conditions affected politics, tending to the
corruption of the upper classes, and the ex-
treme misery to the poor The conditions of
the people of France, Germany, Italy, En-
gland and the republics were shown, as also
the effect of the French revolutions upon
France and other nations The conclusion
of the lecturer was that two great political
ideas mark European hi story in the present
century, National Autonomy" and 'Tri-
umphant Democracy"
