you name him?
He was born in Boston In 1908. His
immediate ancestors for eight gem
erations had been clergymen. While
he was still a boy. his father died:
and although the family lived
in "genteel poverty" he attended
Harvard. He was not q brilliant
student, but won $4,000 in a COM
petition. The money was used to
buy groceries. His first book OF
essays was published in 1896. He
won fame as a lecturer. travelling
from one town to another. He
spoke first in the villages. He re-
vised and improved his writings
until he felt the lectures were
ready for large metropolitan audi
enceS. He wrote poetry as well as
prose but his verse lacks the lyrical
quality of greatness. He died in
1882. He wrote: IF you write a
better book. preach better SER
mon, or build a better mousetrap
than your neighbor, though you
live in the woods. the world will
