Hamilton w. Mabie in the Outlook.
10 Americans especially this day brings
back once more one of those great spirits who
have shared that faith in man on which the
structure Of free society rests; that air OF
expectation which serenely awaits the new
times and the new men in the new world of
.thezopen door. 1t brings to mind the friend
ship OF France in those far-off days when
friends were few and the new nation but a
prophecy i'll the untraveled west; it reminds
us once more of the immense service Of the
French mind to the higher civilization of the
world, of the generous hospitality with which
France has shared her achievements in art
and knowledge with the races who have gone
to her schools, studied in her galleries. and
felt the sustaining and nourishing life Of her
love of beauty and her mastery of It's forms;
it brings once more before us the delicate and
beautiful genius with which the French spirit
has touched social life and given it a charm,
a grace, harmonizng quality, which have
added a new resource to modern life. In our
industries, Our activities, our achievements,
our expansions, the full reach and play of our
Anglo Saxon energies. let us remember TO day
that when we have gathered our spoils and
can sit at ease in our palaces, we must still
turn to France to give our leisure the air OF
beauty, our fortune the grace not only OF
generous use but of delicate service, our So
ciety the distinction of that culture which not
only enriches the mind but makes manners
subtle interpreters of the ripeness of ehc
whole nature.

WHAT Is A GENTLEMAM2

The University Of Chicago has been
prolific of PROFESSIONAL expressions of
opinions or alleged principles that rubbed
public opinion the wrong way, but Prof.
Westfall has come forward with a state
ment that will meet with popular ap-
proyal. He scores Mrs. Astor for her
statement that to be an American gentle
man man must have college education.
Says the professor:
Such statement fairly makes nv blood
boil. In making it Mrs. Astor is putting a
false value not only upon the college man but
upon the man who doesn't go to college al,
well. 1t is merely case of confounding the
truth with ones own person and ones ow,,
ideas to say anything SO sweepIngly For
tunately, Mrs. Astor's statement is not true
and the first to repudiate it would be the
genuine college-bred man.
And a>-in Professor Westfall says:
AS matter of fact, most of the men who
class as gentlemen" downtown are not
colIge-bred men, and in some ways it's a
messed good thing for Chicago that they are
not, but there are some of the truest gentle
men who have ever lived among them. Edu.
cation in these days particularly is a great
and good thing, but it is not everything by 3
long, long way. If it is your privilege to
have an education, thank God for that priyi-
/. lege, but don't lay stress upon 1t and boast
of 1t, and, above all, don't take it unto your
self for Righteousness. 1t is true that you
don't go to college primarily for the informa-
