 Other opposition to Otterson comes from New England congress men, especially fortnight Joe Casey and scholarly Tom Elliott of MaSsa- chusetts. They are plugging for David Scoll, of Boston, who was ap- pointed to the staff of the commits sion by Joe Kennedy, its first chair- man before he became ambassador to Great Britain. They are deter- mined that New England get place on the commission, and say that Scoll is by far the best qualified man.

 In 1901 Tagore founded school at Santiniketan which later devel- oped into an international institu- tion called Visca Bharati. There he tried to revive the spirit of educa- tion of ancient India when eager youths sat at the feet of the mys- tics. He sought to abolish all class and religious distinctions.
 Visited New Haven
 Tagore made his last visit to the United States in 1930 and fell ser- iously ill at New Haven, Conn. He was forced to cancel his lecture tour and physicians disclosed that be- cause of a serious heart ailment he had risked his life in making the journey.
 Among his projects, Tagore es- tabliShed an institute of rural re- construction ito bring life in its completeness into the villages making them self-reliant and self respectful" He turned his estates over to the school and in 1913, when he was awarded the Nobel prize for literature, he devoted all of the prize money to the institute.
 Tagore was dignified, aristocratic and patriarchal in his appearance in later years. His hair and beard were long and white and he wore long robes. His eyes were sunker and bright. He spoke in a low, mu- Sical tone.
 Friend of Gandhi
 Like Mohandas K. Gandhi, whom he greatly admired, he hoped to sex India Independent of Great Brit ain. But he believed that first ot all the people had to be taught tt respect themselves, to realize theil own part in the great scheme 0. the universe"
 Tn New Haven in 1930, Tagor, said: '"The clouds have plotted ava. the stars and we wonder when tht dawn shall begin. For we are hum ble and suffer and bear, the burdel of power and hide our faces ant stifle our sobs in the dark. But tn morrow shall be ours"
 Tagore's best known works wer the Religion of Man, Creative Unity Letters to a Friend, the King of uht Dark Chamber, Fruit Gathering Stray Birds, Hungry Stones, Lover Gift, The Wreck, Glimpses of Ben gal, Personality, Nationalism, Tn, Home and the World, Reminiscen ses, Eye Sore, The Fugitive, Letter From Abroad, The Gardner, Tn, Crescent Moon, Thought Relics Greater India, Chitra, Broken Ties Freflies and Kabir'S Poems.

friendship so firm that II has not
even been dissolved by their di-
