UNIQUE FIGURE IN HISTORY
Mark Twain Says Joan of Arc
Stands Alone in Story Of
World

In Harpers Magazine for December
Mark Twain, who has recently made a
thorough study of the original docu-
ments bearing on the life of Joan of Arc,
pays a wonderful tribute to this slight
girl whom he calls by far the most ex-
traordinary person the human race has
ever produced:
''All the rules fail in this girls case.
In the worlds history she stands alone
quite alone Others have been great in
their first public exhibitions of general
ship, valor, legal talent, diplomacy for
titude; but always their previous years
and associations had been in a larger
and smaller degree a preparation for
these things. There have been no ex-
ceptions to the rule. But Joan was COM
petent in law case at 16 without ever
having seen a law book or a courthouse
before; she had no training in soldier
ship and no associations with it, yet
she was a competent general in her first
campaign; she was brave in her first
battle, yet her courage had had no edu-
cation-not even the education which a
boys courage gets from never-ceasing
reminders that it is not permissible in a
boy to be a coward, but only in a girl !;
friendless, alone, ignorant, in the bosom
of her youth, she sat week after week a
prisoner in chains, before her assem-
blage of judges, enemies hunting her to
her death, the ablest minds of France,
and answered them out of an untaught
wisdom which overmatched their learn
ing, baffled their tricks and treacheries
with a native sagacity which compelled
their wonder, and scored every day a
victory against these incredible odds
and camped unchallenged on the field
In the history of the human intellect,
unframed, inexperienced and using
only its birthright equipment of untried
capacity, there is nothing which APP
proaches this. Joan of Arc stands alone
and must continue to stand alone, by
reason of the unfellowed fact that In the
things wherein she was great she was sc
without shade or suggestion of help from
preparatory teaching, practice or en-
yironment"
