work has been used in schools and coll

James Bryce was born In Belfast,
Ireland, on May 10. 1898. so that at his
death he was nearly eighty three years
old. but those who saw him on his last
visit to this country remarked the vigor
and energy of the man who had ac-
complished so much work of value TO
his own civilization and his own coun-
try. His father was n Scotchman. the
Rev. DR.. James Bryce. Presbyterian
minister, but his mother was. an Irish.
woman, born in County Antrim.
The parentage of his mother and his
early days in Ireland gave him an in
tnrest in the Irish question, and
throughout his life he took an active
and sometimes not altogether academic
part in the debates on that pressing
problem. When he was appointed Am.
bassador to this country it was noted
by William I. Stead. in an article in
Tue American monthly kcNlcw of Ro-
views. that he was the first "homc rule"
Ambassador ever sept here; that he had
supported Redmond and the Irish Ma
tionalists: that he had voted against

latest acts MS Chief Secretary was to
secure the removal from the statute
