| fist denomination, as it has been since
1922 though there is nothing sectarian
in the character of the instruction
offered.
To provide for scientific training OF
the most advanced kind, the Washing
ton college of engineering was organ,
lied in 1905. Besides this there are
various divisions of the university
which may possibly become separate
colleges. Professional departments OF
medicine, law and politics, and of di
plomacy are strong features. The
graduate school already has large en-
rollment, and at recent meeting
President Needham stated that where
as the Harvard graduate school, the
largest of its kind in the county.
now has somewhat more than 400
students, the educational opportunities
in Washington are so exceptional tina:
without doubt when George Washing
ton university has been settled in its
new home it may easily gain an at
tendance of 5000 graduate students.
Particularly for American young
men and young women who have TAX
en- their degrees at their colleges or
technical schools, Washington already
affords greater facilities for advanced
study than any other American city.
Leading authorities in various lines
of scholarly activity are at the head of
governmental scientific departments
and many of these men are regular
members of the faculty of the George
Washington university. If a young
man has studied chemistry, for eX.
ample, and wishes to make a series Of
special Investigations relating to the
chemistry for foods, nowhere in the
world will he have a better chance to
work among men who are themselves
engaged in first-hand investigation of
tremendous consequence than in the
governmental bureau of chemistry
presided over by Dr. W. H. Wiley
George Washington university already
has extensive laboratories of it's own.
and these will be largely increased in
the new plant; and to these adyan-
tages it adds those given by the act
of congress which allows university
studnets residing in the District of
Columbia special privileges in the use
of the laboratories and scientific col
lectiOnS of the government.
So energetic is the movement for
further endowment of George Wash
ingtOn university, and such is the
growth of the apparatus of scholarship
at the national capital, that many Old
Washingtonians are asserting the day
is at hand when the city our first presi-
dent took so much pride in founding

educational capital of the United

tain Irotean adaptation to all classes.
grades, ages, and generations OF men
The Shakespeare of two centuries ago
was not the Shakespeare of the last
century, and we have today a Shake
Ispeare whom even DR.. Johnson did
not know. Yet each was real. Equal
ly does he accommodate himself to the
varied periods of life. He is a story
teller in childhood; In youth hood he
is the reflection of our passion and
purpose; in manhood the measure of
our strength and action; and in age
the philosopher who interprets and
confirms our observations Of life. And
so he delights the rude throng with
Itrenchant wit and hoarse laughter,
yet sings to the finest ear in measures
Iunapproachably faultless.
His greatest service, perhaps, is to
be found in the fact that he gave the
world an ineXhaustihle body of essen
tial and practical truth in the best
form; by which l mean truth stated
beautifully, nobly. and engagingly.
What q wealth of it, and how accurate
answering to life as the courses Of
the stare answer to mathematics! But
the truth of Shakespeare is more
than exact, more than the mirror held
up to nature and humanity; it is truth
with its heavenly radiance and native
glory. MOntaigne tells us the truth in
plain and homely ways, and Plutarch
prattles it like a child; but Shake
speare penetrated into the temple OF
truth, and brought it forth in it's shin
ing robes and made it speak in its di-
vine accents. 1t is one thing to see
truth as the reality of things: it is an
other to behold the glory and majesty
and strength and beauty of truth.
This is the high achievement of
Shakespeare; ,Aat the eternal secret,
the spiritual essence. the absolute ma
ture of any truth he touches, is re-
vealed in his statement of it.
Such a work as this is to be put by
the side Of Magma Charta and habeas
corpus and trial by jury, and the Dec
laration of Independence-as a real
contribution to humanity and civiliza-
ton What does man more need;
what richer heritage can he have than
the truth pertaining to himself, put in
exact and noble form? This we con
.ceive, is the browning glory of Shakes
peare; this is what puts him above the
hOmely Socrates. the dreaming Plato,
the plodding Aristotle, and the whole
race of philosophers he has re-
vealed humanity to itself, and made 1t
feel its own greatness and glory.
but we must not ask or one mortal
man to be the revealer of two worlds.
He has shown us one; he uttered no
syllable that fOrbids us to believe in
another. Nay, he has made this world
so great and beautiful that of itself it
calls out for eternity.

OUR TRUST.

The use of the legend In God We
Trust, on some of the coins Of the
United States, grew out Of a letter
written by a Maryland farmer to Sal
mon p. Chase, secretary of the treas
ury. The letter was written in No
vember, 1ov4, the writer urging that
ives should, as a Christian people,
make some recognition of the Deity on
our coins. Mr. Chase referred tbs
letter to Director Pollock, Of the
mint, who approved the suggestion,
and proposed one of the legends Our
Country, Our God" or God Our
Trust" Mr. Chase then referred the
matter to congress, and again in 1862
and 1863 he urged that the matter be
acted on. Finally, on April %, 1864,
congress authorized the coinage of
two-cent bronze piece, and on it was
stamped the legend, In God We
Trust" instead Of "E Piuribus Unum."
on March 3, 1865, the
director of the mint with the APP
prevail Of the secretary of the
treasury, was authorize to place the
legend on all the gold and silver coins
susceptible of that addition thereafter
to be issued The legend is taken
from the following line in the "Star
Spangled Banner" and this be our
motto, In God is our trust"

yoked. The foundation of the Car
negie institution in 1902 gave an iln-
petus to advanced scientific study
in Washington, and conditions were
seen to be preparing which would
give the capital supreme educational
advantages. Accordingly in the spring
OF 1904, the university's charter was
revised by act of congress, making;
the institution ~nonsectarian and Civ
ing the board of trustees power TO
change the name.
Since then remarkable progress has
been made and the George Washington
university, in its various departments
is already one of the larger institU-
tons of tie country. Its growing at,
tendance has been attained not by
lowering standards but in spite of
raising them. More than thirty pro
fessors and instructors have recently
been added to the teaching staff,
night classes have been discontinued,
and regular lectures made to close at
$50. Teachers courses have been
provided in accordance with the lat
est educational idea, to enable those
who are engaged in educational work.

as consciously his own. When he ab
lures his magic, breaks his staff, and
browns his book, and so frees himself
from the unreality of the stage and
betakes himself to house and home, he
carries with him these high qualities
of law and conduct, else the picture OF
himself which he has so long fore,
Swallowed is out of keeping with truth
fulneSs with which he had mirrOred
all human conduct. In the develop
ment of society nearly all the great
men of the past are now accord Il
larger measures of goodness than here
tofore. The humOr, the insight and
breadth of vision, the imagination
the charm of Shakespeare will remain
as ever, but his ethical sense is more
standard of the unfolding world.
There can be no better text book in
our universities for the study Of high
and spiritual ethics than the plays of
Shakespeare,-und the one condition
that the teacher shall be adequate III
perception and temper of mind and
soul to unfold the inwoven lessons.
After all, there is more of nature in
Shakespeare than can be found in
Warwickshire or in England more of
humanity than can be seen in any one
generation. He is as ancient as Job,
as modern as Emerson. He did more
than fill a place made ready by the
political and religious enfranchisement
of the English people; more than
mount and ride the tOpmost wave of
the nations genius. Place and age
and opportunity worked in accord for
his production, but they did not pro
duce him. We must relegate the
problem of his university, his tran
scendence, his prophetic outlook, his
IfathOmless insight-all as easy and
natural as breathing-to that region
and power where all problems must at
last be left, namely, creative endow-
ment the only explanation of great
men. The truest measure of him is
his Inconsistencies of himself he
was too vast to be comprehended by
his own thought; he so far surpassed
all known standards that he had none
for estimating himself; and so, appar-
emily, he made no estimate beyond
what might be set down in pounds
sterling. He seems in his unconscious
greatness almost to lose the qualities
/ of man, and to be simply voice OF
universal nature.
! And yet he speaks of no world but
this, and touches only everyday hu
mainly. He speaks OF man as he Is
here and now. He deals with the mas

avarice pride, and lust. He moralizeg

Shakespeare's Own Self.


Theodore T. Munger in the Attain &c
MOnthly.-As We found Shakespeare
in Warwickshire, SO we leave him
there indeed, he is never far away
from the field of his keenest delight
and deepest impressions. His retire
ment to Stratford, when regarded in
its various lights, is the most reveal
ing praises of his life. Indifferent as
he was to his plays in one way, he
laid clear emphasis upon them i'll
others. He rounded his work as a
playwright with personal significance.
The Tempest is not only n farewell
to the stage,-filIed with the very
spirit of it, airy, unreal, fascinating
it is charged with his weightiest CON
victiOns and also with his anticipatiOn3
and purposes. The play bTeathes
throughout forgiveness toward his
enemies in a lofty and yearning tenn
per, struck through with the mercy
and pity Of a father. Over and over
again is the same gracious quality
seen in his plays, but in The Tempest"
it wears the pathos of farewell. 1t
sheds a flood of light upon his ethical
convictions Even a dull reader may
note that he often forgets the best i'll
terests of the play as to effectiveness.
and INDUCES in meditation over the
rights and wrong of what is involved,
the playwright forgetting himself in
the moralist.
In the most quoted of all his words:
We are such stuff as dreams are
made on we are not to understand
that he gives a definition of human
fife, nor even as intimation of its des-

as he has duties in this world of

Shakespeare has another field in mind.
When in Stratford, though life may he

met as realities. We find il him still
the freedom and exhilaration ofJhis
period intensified by the full tides of
joy and vitality that flowed through
his own veins; but along with them
and deeper than any. were ethical con-
victions whose solidity and depth out
weighed all else within him. OF his
conduct little is known, but of his na-
ture much may be inferred. 1t was

George Morse, the we'll known Hav-
erhill auctioneer, used to tell a story
of a young fellow who had been some
thing of a 'highroller" whom he once
employed. Two or three days after
the young man entered Mr.. Morse's
employ, says the Boston Herald, he
was handed the keys of a very nice
house in the aristocratic part of the
city, the furnishings Of which were
to be disposed of, and told to take an
inventory of the contents and to be
back before 5 o'clock, so that they
might get the announcement in the
papers.
When the young man got to the
house he found a sideboard with a
good stock of liquor and cigars re-
manning.
About 5 o'clock Mr.. Morse asked
where the new man was. No one had
seen him since he left in the morning,
and a clerk was sent to investigate.
On arriving at the house he found the
new man lying on a couch near the
sideboard, with empty bottles and CT
gar stubs scattered about. He was
sound asleep, but had evidently meant
to do his work, for in . one hand he
held the long. blank form on whicl!
inventories are recorded, and it had
one entry at the top which read, Zone
