IN ElSendCk Sake elmer. Germany,
April II. 1874 In company with her
husband and six children she came to
America in lS49, landing in Baltimore
after a rough and disagreeable voyage.
Moved to Washington
The next year they moved to Wash
ington where the husband conducted a
restaurant until his death a few
months later With the fortitude char
acterlstic Of her people she continued
the restaurant after her husbands
death until 1852 when she returned 10
Baltimore. There she remained until
1886 when she returned 10 Washington
with her married daughter, Mrs. Mary
Neimeyer with whom she lived until
her death
Mrs. Rupprecht has three children. all
more than seventy years of age. She
had never worn glasses. had regained

man." This line of Pope's, written at
a day when mans delvings into science
were just beginning, had long been the
creed of the writer's of Greece and
Rome. When, at the fall of Constants
nople. classic learning was transplant
ed to Italy, this maxim became the
watchword of the Renaissance, and the
legends of the saints and MadoLnas
were replaced by human documents
drawn from mans daily experience.
The great scientific awakening of the
nineteenth century has changed the
whole trend of university education
which once centered in classic litera-
ture, and science has triumphed. Har-
ward may be cited as type in this
respect of most American universities.
Among it's 1884 students less than 300
are pursuing either Greek or Latin,
and but few of these 60 far in either
language.
Romance literature has greatly de-
clined In most modern institutions of
learning. Oxford university still cul-
tivates the humanities with much of its
old-time enthusiasm. Princeton is the
only one of American universities
which gives them prominent place.
The president of Cornell, our most
technical university, urges return to
humanistic studies.
In Germany the universities are i'm
bued with the scientific spirit, and their
example is being widely followed. In
responding to this spirit the modern
universities had no call to renounce
humanistic culture, the science of the
mind and heart, the record of noble
human thoughts and deeds.
The recent movement in our educa-
tion towards humanism will in no way
interfere with tie pursuit Of science.
In the union Of science and the classics
lies the broadest human culture. The
time will come when science, divested
of its materialisfn, will form an exalted
theme for poetry and art, and science
and humanism will go hand in hand.

Hufnanisnl & Science

The masterpieces of the worlds lit
erature were all written before the
birth of science. They include the
eleven great epics beginning with the
Iliad and Odyssey, and ending with
Paradise Lost.
Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare
and Goethe and their contemporaries
knew nothing of the two great forces of
steam and electricity. Goethe's studies
in plant life and his botanical theories,
although dearer to him than all his
other works. have been discarded by
the scientists Of our day.

Selecting a Man.

Picking out the right man for the
place, it often measures the difference
between success and failure in busi-
ness. More often it measures the diff
ference between moderate success
and phenominal one.
Twenty or more years ago carriage
factory was started with the idea of
doing things in an riginal way, and
man was chosen to carry out the idea.
He had had no previous experience in
that line, but he had the right idea and
grasped the plan enthusiastically. The
work began on a simple scale, 80 that
the inexperienced man was able to feel
his way. The business grew until it
attained great proportions. The same
man is still at the head of it, not as the
owner, but as the manager. He proved
to be the right man for the place. 1t
would be difficult to imagine how he
might have made the business more
successful in that particular line.
In thinking of this the thought oc-
Cured to me, suppose some other man
had been chosen in the beginning.
Suppose he had had wide experience,
but a different idea. He might have
made more rapid progress at the start,
or he might have turned the whole
business into other channels and have
given it different character. The
present greatness of the business might
have been unknown today if it hadn't
been that the right man was chosen
when the business was small. Waldo
Pondray Warren.
