Greece and Rome were at the oppO-
site poles Of the human world. and
equally opposite are their Influences
upon modern times. Rome was prac-
teal, hard headed. juristic. while Greece
was intellectual, emotional. artistic.
Astounding in what may be called the
forebrain versus the brain behind the
ears. Rome's empire was lengthy, ma
terial, matter OF fact, while Greece
banked on the intellectual and spirit
ual, findiag her greatest conquests in
the realm OF mind rather than In that
Of matter. Rome produced no great
original thinker. her greatest men shin

sentiments was Greece. From the
Eternal City we have inherited our jur-
lsprudence, but It Is from the City Of
the Violet Grown that we have derived
our art, science and philosophy. In a
word, to quote the substance Of DIR,
Johnson's saying, eliminate from our
modern civilization all that II owes
to Greece and the residue would be bar

When Seneca wrote his inspiring phi.

take some pride in the fact that he
points to these savages as exemplars in
fortitude for the Romans: You may

tribes that are naked and rendered
stronger by want. Look at all the ma
tons that dwell beyond the Roman en-
pire-I mean the Germans and all the
nomad tribes that war against us along
the Danube. They suffer from eternal
winter and a dismal climate. The bar
rem soil grudges them sustenance. They
keep off the rain with leaves or thatch;
they bound across frozen marshes and
hunt wild beasts for food. Do you
think them unhappy? There is no I'M

hands; the harshness Of the climate Is
terrible, and their bodies are unclothed.
This, which you think a hardship. Is
the mode OF life of all these races.
