penses i've times during the year she
was In the home. She also testified
that when the famiiy became hard up

must admit, for putting aside his much disputed religious views, his rank as an author is very high one; his place as the revealer of that op- pressed class, the Moujik, an acknowl- edged one; and his life as a man, one that demands If not the greatest ad- miratiQn, at least the greatest respect of all people.
 In order that we may the better understand him, in all the varied phases of his existence. 1t may be well to give a brief account of his fife, for environment, that great inhuencer of mankind, had in this case, as in many others, much to do with determining the bent of his mind.
 Born in 1928.
 Tolstoy was born in Russia in 1928, at Yasnaya Polyana. At the age of nine years, he together with his brother and sister was left an orphan outright. The greater part of his youth was spent in Kaxan, at the home of his aunt, and here he entered Kazan University, studying Oriental languages and law, without success fully completing either course. At

Francis Joseph Linehan in his con- test for the Barnum prize spoke on Education as a Business Investment He spoke as follows:
 In this present day education is valued not only for it's improvement of the mental and intellectual powers but also for it's practical use in life. Such an application is clearly being demanded on account of the great changes and progress which have been made in our methods of living and gaining a livelihood.
 The man of to-day who is a close observer of human affairs knows that people are thinking and acting faster than at any former time. This is an age of steam and electricity, books and newspapers. By means of these there are brought to us, in a. wond- erfully short space of time, news of every nation and the products of every industry that is being pursued. A business man of the twentieth cen turn is enabled with the aid of the railroad, steamship, telephone and
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-06-28

That belief was fortunately been dis pelled with such earneStness and convincing proof that it is doubtful whether there shall ever be any fur ther discussion in regard to it. AL though it has been proved to the sat isfaction of all, even the most skepti cal that edoc1.ion is not detrimental to successful career, we still hear declarations made oftimes that the study of Greek and Latin, or of the Ancients can be of no practical value to the student in after life, that it is only a waste of time in boring over such subjects.
 Dead Languages Pay.
 While, as in the majority of cases, the benefit which is derived from studying the Dead languages or an- cient history may not be actually realized, as far as dollars and cents is concerned, yet even in that sense, it does repay us, indirectly, a hun dred fold for our expended time. We are given ideas and philosophy of the Romans and Greeks, their actions when facing certain conditions, their laws, customs, in other words, every thing that should make us broader and deeper thinkers in our own sphere.
 Fresh controversies are coming up, political and industrial. which must be settled by men and women who DoueVo III eQuCdtlOH, no matter what position in life they occupy.
 Young people should take this into thoughtful consideration. In a few short years the weighty responsibili- ties of life will be thrust upon them, the issue of which will rest in their hands. If it is to be successful they must have ability and it's kindered qualities, the results obtained from a. process of education undergone in youth.
 Then after our active interest in affairs has diminished, when old age has overtaken us, how gratifying it will be to feel that we have come from the battle with flying colors. to know that our careers have been a moral an intellectual triumph, and that our excellent training, received so many years earlier had never fail ed us but was ready to answer and help us at all times under every cir cumstance. In realty, an aid to properity a guide through adversity. and always an incentive to a broad CT aim, to something a little higher up. There will be joy in our hearts that our years of study have not been in vain but with material success at- tained, we have proved that educa- tion is business investment in every sense Of the word.
 James Lawson Meltzer, the last Barnum prize speaker, spoke on Ed mund Burke. He spoke as follows.

 Royal Welcome.
 Sebastopol finally capitulated ard. with his own general account of tn. siege, Tolstoy went to St. Petersburg where all the highest literary circle. welcomed him heartily. Immediate ly he entered into reckless life drinking, gambling, fighting dueis, spending most of his days in the gym nasium and all his evenings at par ties and balls.
 After a short visit to Yasnaya, how ever. he suddenly left Russia to- travel through Europe intending to learn the best methods of education ant question the great thinkers of the various countries as to the meaning of life. In Paris he witnessed pub lie execution and then only he real ized that all the theories of progress could not justify such an act and tha, it could not be necessary. He must judge what was right and necessary not by what men said and did, not by. progress but by what he felt in his heart to be right.
 By autumn he was back at Yasnaya, ma ging the estate and taking great pleasure in his gymnastic exercises which were the horror, yet wonder ot the village elder, who remarked, T come to the master for an order and he. hanging with one leg over a pole, head downward, keeps swaying to and fro, his hair flowing in the wind, his face flushed with blood-and I stand and listen to his commands and mar vel at what he is doing."
 Gives Up Frivolous Life.
 After his brother Nikolay passed away at Hyeres, Tolstoy gave up the frivolous life and again travelled in Europe observing the common people and studying the conditions of edu- cation in various schools, the Froebel at Weimar among oth- CTS. After spending six months in this way, he returned home to open a school for the newly emancipated slaves among whom he acted as medi- ator of peace.
 The one rule of this school was that no child should be taught any, thing he did not wish to learn and to this rule Tolstoy adhered strictly, often with the result that some small boy would jump up and abruptly leave the building. Inside of five min utes the room would be empty and so. Do you think this troub- led Tolstoy? On the contrary he was perfectly satisfied knowing that on other days and for a couple of hours on these days the chil1ren were all there because they wanted to be there The children were absolutely free for their teacher never took up a sub- ject they objected to or interrupted one so long as they were eager for-it,
