How Arnold Studied Logic.

Here is an interesting story told in
the life of Archbishop Temple;
Matthew Arnold got leave, at the last
moment, to take in Logic For Respon-
slons" instead Of Euclid" which he
could never master. The day before
the examination he went to Jowett,
who was his tutor, and asked how he
could learn the subject in time, as he
was wholly ignorant of 1t. Jowett said
his only chance was to go to Temple
and see if he would try to teach him in
one day. Temple consented and, start
ing about o'clock In the morning,
talked continuously, allowing two
pauses Of half an hour each for meals,
till past o'clock next morning Ar
mold had been provided with paper,
but took no notes. He lay back in his
chair with the tips of his fingers to-
gether, saying from time to time,
"What wonderful fellows they werep
Soon after 2 O'Clock a. m. Temple sent
Arnold away to get some sleep, after
which he satisfied the examiners in
logic. He answered every question.
