Sam Houston asa
Hereof theStage
Picturesque Texan Whose Remarkable Ca.
reer Inspired Clay Clements Play.
The Birth of the Lone Star
Republic.

" Is Just about half a century since
the closing scenes were enacted In
the public career of Sam Houston,
one Of the most picturesque char
acters America has produced. The
fact that a play of which he is the hero
recently had its first presentation in
New York, with the noted romantic
actor, Clay Clement, in the role of the
famous Texan. makes timely a sketch
of his career and the remarkable events
in which he participated. Few of the
characters of u national history are
so well adapted as his for presentation
on the stage. and the stirring incidents
In which he was a foremost figure lend
themselves well to dramatic use.
Sam Houston's career began In Vir-
ginia. where he was born in the year
1893. As a boy he lived for some years
with the Cherokee Indians in Tennes-
see and was adopted by n of their
chiefs, Oolooteka. This early associa-
ton with the red men had an important
influence on his subsequent career. In
1911 he returned to his family and en-
gagged for a time in teaching. but In
1913 enlisted in the United States army
and fought under General Jackson
against the Indians at the battle Of Tai
lapoosa in 1914. He served as an In
dian agent and a few years later set
tied in Tennessee and began the study
of law. He was a district attorney, was
elected to congress and in 1927 was
chosen governor of Tennessee. 1t was

In seeking W to such questions
as the age Of the human race scientists
have recourse to the rocks and caves
which contain records of prehistoric
man. Some important discoveries Of
this nature have recently been made
in the Pyrenees of Spain. The writer
and scientist Garrett p. Serviss has
described these discoveries by saying
that, "as far as the evidence now in
hand Is able to inform us. man was a
witness of only the last glacial inva-
sion Of Europe. If he saw the earlier

managed to keep going. He vas a big
fellow, and he seemed even bigger then
as a boy than he does now al a man.
His progress vas pretty slow. but after
awhile he got nearly around the rink,

We think, says the New York Times,
that nearly every educator in the coun-
try will agree with Professor Phelps that
no candidate should be allowed to enter
a university until he had satisfactorily
PASSED an examination on the greatest
of the English classics, the English BIZ
BILE. Its influence is, of course, direct
and dominant over all our literature; it's
style, whether narrative, descriptive, po-
ettc, dramatic argumentative or oratori-
cal, has been the supreme model for the
Lincolns, the Burkes, the Cokes, for the
Carlyles, the Addisons the Swifts, the
Defoes and it overshadowed Milton and
Shakespeare. The products of the Ell
tire range of English literature and his
tory may be considered only as corolla-
ries to it's mighty argument. How pro-
found must be the ultimate ignorance of
these to students who have not approach
ed them through the noble and simple
master medium! The demand that the
prevalent list of college entrance require
ments in English be swept away to make
room for the study of the King James
version of the English Bible, aided by
the wealth of scholarly and literary ap-
probation that has accumulated during
recent years, is not radical; it is emf
nently conservative
