GREEKS MARVELS,
SAYS DIR. THOMAS
Howard Professor Lauds Con-
tributions Of HelIenes

THAT so small a country as Greece.
with only $4,000 square miles should
have been at one time 30 powerful !. in
its teachings as to make itself one of
the great factors in the artistic and in
teElectual life of the world, is marvel
Of the centuries. declared DIR. William
Nelson Thomas, professor Of Greek at
Howard college, in a lecture to the
members Of the Hellenic American as
ISOLATION.
DR.. Thomas quoted from Van Dyke
that the three streams through which
al modern civilization has come were
in the Hebraie, which gave Christian
ity; the Greek. which gave almost all
that is worth while in literary eul-
ture; and the Roman. which gave poll
tics and law.
It was cited by DIR. Thomas that
five centuries before the Christian era,
the Greeks were asking. what is the
reason for thingsy the same question
that moderns are now trying to solve,
and that Demoeritus laid down in his
book the same lines and theories that
every modern scientist must follow to-
day.
In conclusion, DR.. Thomas said that
no people has based its ideals 80 much
on those OF the Greeks as the people of
the United States.
