regard to-instruction, in the college of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, along
the lines of plant eulture and economic insect study, arrangements are being

poverty of a people who had forgotten
their past and in their long slavery
had lost hope of a future. If Moses
had been a young man we might have
understood his choice as being a sudden
impulse like that of Byron when he
cast his lot with the struggling Greeks.
But he was not a young man. He
was forty years of age and had passed
the frenzied and impetuous period of
youth.
"If he had been an uneducated man
his choice might have been explained
on understandable hypotheses of
human conduct. By education is meant
not alone that of the schools but that
of the world, between which there is
no necessary antagonism each supple
ments the other. But Moses was not
uneducated either in the education of
! the schools or of affairs. In the eigh
teenth dynasty, rightly called the Au
gustine age of Egypt, he was the mas
ter of the learning of ier schools and
trained in the affairs of a great em -pice.
He was the Krupp, the Maxim
of his nation. He was a ship-builder,
a mathematician.
"Had he been a disappointed man
r. e might have understood his, choice.
For the effect of disappointment on
gfrerous spirits is sometimes to plunge
them into the most forlorn of adven
tures and hopes. But he was a man
who had known nothing but success.
Military heroes are after all those
whom the people remember and ad
mire, and Moses was a sort of fight

spirit of his country, become such by

Charles Emory Smith was a journalist by profession. In the
sixties and seventies he was editor in turn of the Albany (N Y.)
Express and Journal, and since 1880 of the Philadelphia Press. From
rpril 21, 1898, to January 1, 1902, he was Postmaster General of
the United States. In 1890-92 he was Minister to Russia, and he
was a delegate to several National Republican' conventions. During
the Civil War he was actively engaged in raising and organizing
Union volunteer regiments. Mr. Smith was born at Mansfield,
Conn., February 18, 1842, hence was close to sixty-six years of age
at death. He was a graduate (1861) of Union College, which in 1889
conferred on him the degree of LL.D., an honor repeated by Lafay
ette, Knox and Wesleyan colleges in 1900 and 1901. ,
