time. To show the nature Of the task
undertaken in America, a contrast
was drawn with conditions existing
in England at the close Of the eigh-
teenth century. The result Of these
conditions was society with ideas
that were strongly individualistic and
one that was intolcrant Of restraint.
Little by little. the democracy bas-
ed on material possessions has been
modified until now there exists an in
creasing inequality accompanied by a
tdening Of the breach between the
rich and the poor. In the cities. this
revolution has almost been accom-
plished. but in the smaller places the
democracy Of material possessions
still exists. In continuation Of this
theme, the various epochs Of Ameri-
can history were outlined in such a
way as to prepare the background for
the discussion of present day tenden-
ctes. At the close Of this first lecture,
a testimonial from the faculty and
trustees Of the University Of North

man who, with a flaming bandana
swathed around his neck and his coat
blazing with badges. threw his rough

the right to make nomination. The
delegates and spectators hooted and
jeered as he began to speak: there was
a general laugh when he cried. "I'll
name a man the mention Of whose
name will bring tears Of sympathy to
the eyes Of almost every man and

in defiance of the jeers. He paused a
