One of the old problems of the
schools has centered about the ques-
ton of individual development. Is the
boy trained for his own sake or for
the sake Of the community? Is John

ter his attention upon serving his neigh
bors?
Indivdualism versus altruism has
been the subject of debate. II one Is
not in the thick of the contest It is easy
to observe that each contestant is look
ing at one side of the shield. on the
reverse of which he would discover the
opposing theory. The boy must make
the most of himself in order that he
may have much to give. He serves his
community in proportion az he is well
trained. He makes much of himself
for the sake OF others. 1t is-impossible
for him to Ave to himself alone. He
must live in the community. and that
which makes for the good of the COM

Harriman's EARLY History.
Very little is known Of the early his
| tory OF Mr.. Hartman. It is Of record
| that he was born at Hampstead. Long
Island. his father being country
clergyman and the income of the family
at that time $2a0 year. When Ed
ward H. Hartman was six years old
his family moved to jersey City. where
| there followed a long period of hard
| ship and poverty for all Of them. The
reason SO little is known of this period
| of Harriman's life Is that his mother
| was a woman Of aristocratic birth. very
proud, and kept from. the neighbors
and even from friends the distress OF
| the family.
The boy was educated at the schools
| which the neighborhood afforded, his
| instruction supplemented by his faith
er's learning and his mothers intellec-
| tualfty and reading.
In the early sos Edward Hartman
selected Wall Street as his bourne, and
became clerk. He is remembered rs
a good-natured fellow. fond of such So
| cial recourses as his humble position
afforded. He took naturally to Wall
| Street as a duck takes to water. He
| invariably won in the small deals in
which he then engaged. By 1870 he
| bad made enough money to buy seat
| on the Stock Exchange, when he began
| to deal in larger volume. He is credit
ed with making a small fortune in the
| celebrated corner in gold. He married
early and chose the daughter of a rich
man. He escaped without loss from dll
of the great panics of those daJs He
came thru the Grant & Ward failure,
| the collapse of the Barring Brothers, OF
London, and other great crises.
He was not a spectacular figure in
| the Street until within 10 years ago.
in fact. everything that he has done
at all times has been quietly and under
| the surface. He has worked with the
, single end of success in view, and has
yet to score failure.
There is an outline sketch of the
man who Is to-day most prominent in
the public eye, and of the great things
that he has done Theafutire seems to
hold unlimited possibilities for him. but
no one can say what be will do, be-
| cause no one but Edward II. Hartman
knows what he wants to do,- Those. .ac-
quainted with him say0that he will do
