How Biography Helps
BY H. Arlington Bruce

II 1 had a son who seemed to me
deficient in ambition, / would make
it a point TO persuade that son 10 do
some reading of biography.
If ! were asked by any young man
to counsel him as to books that would
help him to progress in his chosen
vocation, | would be sure to include
biography among types of literature
specially serviceable to him.
And to men Of any age. lamenting
inability to meet the problems of life
successfully, perhaps also lamenting
inability TO derive any real satisfac-
ton from life. | would again advice
the reading of biography.
This for the reason admirably
phrased in Robert MacDougall's incl
dental reference to the practical value
of biography, in his General Prob
lens of Psychology:
1T extends and WHITES experience
for us, and thereby helps to perfect
our reaction upon the world. making
us see more clearly the grounds and
consequences of action.
THE service which our construc-
tive imagination renders to intelligent
conduct. in reviewing and Analysing
the situations we encounter in daily
life, is supplemented by the sympath-
etic interpretations of biography. The
approach is indirect, but its value is
second only to immediate personal
contact as a source Of inspiration.
I'm the record of other mems lives
we find both stimulative and directive
forces. capable of energizing and
moulding our own moral wills
SO helpful is the attentive reading
of the lives of great men. with refer
ence to the proper management of the

matter of surprise to me that the
study of biography is not n compul-
sorry subject in all our schools.
From time to time it has been pro-
posed to make it compulsory. Thus
Arnold Lorand, urging that biography
be taught at least in high schools,
rightly pointed out:

ONE OF FATE'S OLD TRICKS

A rich vein of gold, says report from
Denver, Col, has been discovered on
property which belongs in part to Lou
Blonger, convicted leader of that city's
alleged confidence ring. Thus notable
addition is made to LIES interminable
list of ironies, and some degree of plau-
sibility is given to the belief-or super
stition-of those who ascribe to fate"
the power of just and retributory judg-
ment over the affairs of man.
In the latter relation it is interesting
to contemplate a Chinese belief that all
human accounts are balanced ultimately
by "the wheel of life" Sometimes, &C
cording TO that doctrine, centuries or
even thousands of years, bringing count
less changes, may elapse before a score
is settled.
Such degree of applicability the
Occidental mind has difficulty in con-
ceiving. But Our part of the world is
young; its inhabitants are inclined to
reckon little upon unseen and indefinable
forces and influences.
However, the experience of the Denver
gang leader is not at all unique to OBJ
servers of those intimate evepts which
make UP the sum of human affairs over
which man is unable to exercise absolute
control. If one will only pore over the
volumes of memory, he may reconstruct
many situations comparable with that
which confronted the convicted conf
dence operator when, with all the fruits
of his unlawful labors blightad, he be-
came the prospective possessor of legiti-
mate wealth which he would be unable
to enjoy.
Lou Blonger-if that is his real
name-was 70 years old when the jury
adjudged him guilty, with nineteen 9TH
ers, of having defrauded scores of peo-
pie for his own enrichment. The odds,
therefore, are greatly against the posi-
bility that he may live to reap the bene-
fits of the gold "strike" on the land
in which he owns an interest-provid-
ing, of course, that the sentence of the
trial court Sticks"
But is there any assurance that he
would literally have enjoyed his share
of the mines output if his alleged I'M
lawful operations had not been discov-
cred? If he was impelled to that sort of
crime by the same inner forces which
seem to animate majority of invet-
erately lawless spirits, he might not
have known what to do with wealth
honestly acquired. Men of his appar-
ent type crave the ease, luxury and os-
tentation of riches, but seem to be OBJ
sessed by more compelling desire !;
they are not content with wealth alone,
or with what wealth brings to its posses
sors, but interpret life in terms of the
excitement which comes from the most
Intensive gamethat men may .play-the
matching of with in the exercise of the
acquisitive instind.

In an article published recently in THE
LIGHT professional writer denies that
conversation has become a lost art. He
characterizes it as vanishing art. Any
further remarks on this subject may
only aggravate one of the factors which
have produced the condition of which
the writer complains. Instead of con-

present-day folk are inclined to argue.

EACH IN HIS OWN WAY

An incident distinguished by an ele-
ment of sublimity is related in dispatch
from New York which describes the
respective behavior of priest and a
Hebrew as the latter was entering the
valley of the shadow of death. But
though the word respective" is appli-
cable to the situation in which the two
men found themselves, it does not signify
that there was difference between their
attitudes. 1t was their display of the
same quality of character, from their
respective positions, that made the Incl
dent sublime-the quality that makes
for tolerance and sympathy between per-
sons of widely divergent convictions.
The Hebrew had been fatally in ured
in the crash of a burning building.
Rushed to hospital, he regained con-
sciousness in the presence of the priest,
who suggested that he say an act OF
contrition. The dying man replied that
he didn't know how. Then he was bid
den to repeat it after the priest
Having repeated the opening words
of the prayer, the victim of the fire in
dictated to his volunteer spiritual guide
that the form of the petition was not in
accordance with his religious faith. What
then did the priest do?
If he had acted in keeping with a
tendency that has caught many modern
mortals in its savage grasp the man
whose faith is symbolized by the cross
would have turned in anger from the
room and left death as its sole occupant.
Or if he had taken his cue from fiery,
|revengeful, convert-or-kill zealots OF an
earlier age he might have become an
accomplice of the grim reaper.
But the priest quickly kneeled, and
each of those two men prayed in his
own way
The Hebrew did not resent the offer
of the fellow-being who would ,befriend
him, although he could not in good
conscience accept the proffered ministra-
ton.
The priest did not desert the man
whose faith was almost the antithesis
of his own, although there was no chance
of winning him as a convert. Each
prayed in his. own way, and neither
undertook to condemn the faith of the
other.
Of course the behavior of this priest
was not singular. 1t was in perfect
consonance with the practice Of his
church. Nor was there anything anomal-
GUS about the attitude OF the Hebrew.
But does not the incident have 4 broad
wholesome application to the affairs OF
mankind:
Even in this supposedly enlightened
age there are people who believe that
the sword is an approved instrument
OF the deity whom they profess to wor-
