The Luddites had become a pow
er to be reckoned with, a menace
that it would not do to ignore.
Parliament was aroused, the cabi-
net was forced to postpone it's high
and mighty meditations long
enough to listen to the story Of the
Luddite menace. and lords and
commons suddenly getting their
heads together, began grinding out
the seYerest of repressive legisla

IN passing, that it was in connec-
ton with this legislation that Lord
Byron delivered his first speech in
the house Of lords.
But while the noble lords were
busy making laws against the Lud-

Not a Slender Chance.

He reyives the old teaching about
the mute, inglorious Milton" and
the Village Hampdens," whom the
poet Gray imagined to be sleeping
everywhere in unhonored graves,
because circumstances, such as
poverty, or lack of education, or
want of opportunity, prevented the
display of their genius. He speaks
of the dreadful tragedy" that is
involved in "the loss of real per-
sonalities who have all the native
endowments of genius and leader
ship, but who for lack of proper en-
vironmental stimuli have remained
undeveloped and unknown" And
he talks also of "the slender
chance" that made a Newton, a
Faraday and a Pasteur.
For my part, I do not think that
it was q slender chance, or any
chance at all. that made these men,
or any other great man. No doubt
we often see men Of admirable in
tellectual gifts who do not succeed,
but the reason is because these men
are not COMPLETE. They are not
endowed with, or they have not &C
quired by effort, the will power
which must supplement intellectual
gifts if great success is to be won.
Let us consider a few instances
from history. Benjamin Franklin
is an admirable example. Read his
autobiography, one Of the most in
spring books in the world, and
then say, If you can, that his sue
cess was not due to the fact that
he grappled with poverty and lack of
opportunity, and by sheer grit over
came them. HIS genius could not
be buried in an unhonored grave,
because HE WOULD NOT HAVE
1T so.

Powers of Self-Discovery.

Think of Richard Arkvrisdt
(who by his invention OF a cotton
spinning machine revolutlonized
the industry of England), born i'm
extreme poverty, unable to go to
school, winning his bread as
barber until he was 80 years old.
and at last becoming one of the
famous men Of history.
Then remember Abraham Lin
coin. What was HIS environment?
In Miss Tarbell's Life of Lincoln
you will see that, instead OF going
to school, he had to educate him
self by lying down in front Of a
cabin fireplace and burning prairie
"spicewood" to light his few books,
If ever a man carved out his own
fortune, Lincoln did.
No doubt. it is true, as Professor
Conklin says, that what IS needed
IN education more than anything
else IS some means, or system,
which will train the powers Of SELF
discovery and self-control. BY bet
ter educational methods we could
help those who are hampered by
adverse circumstances to overcome
their difficulties. But this kind Of
help should never be regarded as
stan to lean upon. The example Of
such men as Lincoln proves that
man can bend circumstances if he
will, and that, to the right sort of
spirit obstacles are merely incen-
tives.
