at is an interesting question as we
close one century and enter upon an
other to speculate as to who win sur
viye Of the nineteenth as the represen-
tatlve Of what has been done during
I these hundred years Though we are
only one century In advance Of the
eighteenth. yet of all the WORTHLESS who
hli the mind and eye of the generations
of that period only two are universally
and commonly recognized of all men.
George washington and Napoleon
BonapaEte. When the twentieth shall
have been lost in the twenty-first or
the twenty-second and the story Of the
nineteenth is recalled, doubt II there
win be in the mind of the school boy
and the average man or woman any
other well known names chan in Eur
ope. Bismarck; in America, Lincoln
The distinguishing characteristic Of the
nineteenth century is emancipation
emancipation of the soul from bIgotrS
and dogma; emancipation Of the mind
from the formallties and dead forms Of
the past: emancipation of the individ-
uaI from divine right to govern; from
class. from privilege and from slavery;
emancipation of education from the
studies which consumed Valuable time
without impartlng instruction; enamel
