Worlds Rulers Who
We're Labeled "Creaf"

Lord Bryce, in an essay on. Great
Men and Greatness" gives a list of Ia
names to which the adjective great lis
invariably, or at least, usually at.
tached by the world at large" Ma.
tional appreciation runs on more gen
erous lines.
Spain alone has labeled four Of
her kings "the great" while France
pays the same tribute to as many as
six soverelgns, says the Detroit News
Russia, Germany, Austria, Denmark,
Sweden, Portugal and even Hawaii
have attached the adjectives to one OF
other of their rulers. Ethelred the Un-
ready, king of England, seems to have
been the only monarch branded with
this adjective.
Some royal epithets refer merely to
physical peculiaritIes, like William
Rufus, and the large group Of plump
monarchs known to posterity as THE
fat" Charles the Bold, Pepin the
Short, and Olaf the Hungry, are also
of this company.
Others have warlike connotation:
Brave, valiant, victorious, hardy,
sspng, all appear in the list; also ter
rible, though Ivan of that memory was
not so formidable to his foes as to his
feAow countrymen. Sulyman | was
1.-THE Magnificent" John II (of Portu-
gall "The Perfect" Louis V "The
Well Beloved" and Peter ~ (of Ar
ragon), "The Ceremonious." The
names of the monarchs acclaimed
'wise," "just" or great" would ill
large space.

Heroic Struggle for
Education He Coveted

The story is told of Kamba, a full
blooded African of the Ndau tribe,
who has progressed from absolute H.
literacy to a Columbia university de-
gree. The first printing that he ever
saw was on q pack Of playing cards
that came from the coast, and by
studying these he taught himself the
figures from one to ten. Later he
went South to work, and an American
missionary there who taught native
boys in spite of the opposition Of the
Portuguese, whose policy is to keep
the people ignorant, took him into his
home as house boy.
There the idea Of that cultivated
missionary, and especially his wife,
going to live In that fever-stricken
area for the sake OF the black boys,
gave him a new vision. He knew they
must have some secret that made
them different from all other white
people he had ever seen.
When the American missionary left
for home, he told his boys of a mis-
sion in Rhodesia, and Kamba walked
$50 miles to reach there. His capac-
ity and ambition for more education
led the missionary to secure work for
the boy by which he earned enough |
TO go to Hampton institute, Virginia.
Earning his living all the time, he
took course Of carpentry and then
went to Columbia, where he secured
he coveted education. His whole
deal In seeking this education has
,een to go back and develop his own
people. but not necessarily on western
ines.
