from public life, in 1902 il was reeog-
nized "a the largest school Of vocal ex-
preston ia the word.
Today DR.. Emerson's disciples are
teaching IN primary and secondary
schools. state DormaI schools. colleges
and universities throughout the United
States and in the British provinces.
Meeting Dr. Emerson in person, one
was at once struck BY the sweet simplici-
" and the gentle dignity Of bis presence.
One knew instinctively and beyond
question that nothing mean or common
place had any part in his life.
And these characteristics were reflected
ia every word, action or attitude wher-
ever or on whatever occasion the man
appeared. Whether on the platform, in
the classroom. on the street or in the
home. the serene poise Of the man; the
absolute freedom Of any consciousness OF
self. suggested constantly that here vas
a life eonsecrated to some high calling.
This same power Of presence was 3 po-
tent power OF DR.. Emerson's eloquencl
during the 20 years when many Boston
ians found his Saturday noon lecture ths
loftiest sermon OF the week.
His oratory was marked BY the ele
ments that constitute greatness, simplici
ty, ease, economy, force and authority.
He was an educator who believed IN
falterinaIy in the infinite possibilities o
man. This was one secret Of his powei
in the classroom. He always expsctes
the best from every student. There ar
men and women who can recall days will
the great teacher when nothing seemed
impossible; days when the spirit Of elias
unity. sweeping over each individual
stirred young Domostbenes within him
and he spoke'in words OF flame.
