P
E R H A P S within the entire range o f the E n glish L a n g u age, there is no more abused term than the word “ im ita te "-b o th the learned and the ignorant, the great and the small, are accustomed to regard it as signifying something at least disreputable, if not postive- ly unclean. It is undoubtedly true that each of us lias an instinctive dread ot being considered an im itator, and to charge any man with being an imitator is not only to in
vite his serious displeasure, but to provoke his open resentment.
This dread is the more remarkable lroin the fact that all men are and ought to be imitators. It is an un- d.uiable truth that human society Owes its homogeneity and stability to the happy faculty which is com Iliou to all mankind, of readily adopting the habits and opinions of those whom we are accustomed to regard as worthy ex a m p les o f m a n
hood.
Imitation should alw ay s imply the e x e rcise of judgment, discrim ination and moral sense, and altho commonly regarded as a less re spectable term, is often only anoth
er name for emulation. T h e re is perhaps no better e x a m p le of a d is
tinction without a difference than the respective uses of the two words, “ im itation " and “ em ula
tio n .’ ’
W e cannot all be orignators even in v e ry limited sense, and no man has e v e r existed who was not absolutely compelled to make use o f the knowledge o f those who have lived beiore him as well as of those who lived with him. T h e first and the last lesson of childhood are les j sons in imitation, and even in our
fullest maturity, and in the highest development of our powers, the man who would lail to profit by the ex a m p le of others, would be an an omaly which the world does not possess. It we were not all o f us imitators from our very birth, mail kind would be sim ply a mass of h et
erogenous personalities each unlike the other: a multitude of inconsist
encies and incongruities, forming sim ply a human “ c h a o s .’ ’
T h e tooipriuts on the sands of time must not and cannoL be i g nored. I f it were not for the light of the past the present would be dark indeed. I f in the glass of time we saw no other image than our own our ideas o f form and e x pression would not rise a bove those of the brute creation.
T h o se who are accustomed to decry the habit o f imitation are, to say the least o f it, not honest with themselves. F o r, on the one hand, they would exhort us to lead e x e m p la ry lives for the guidance ol those who may come after us;
and, on the other, tliev mil i«« ...
avoid the beaten track of those who h a v e walked before us.
A gain it may truthfully be said, that imitation is one of the paths which leads to originality; for by imitating our predecessors we may possibly be able to advance beyond and enter new fields of knowledge and discovery, and thus, perhaps, contribute to what is already known. T h e mathematician of this age m akes use of the P y th a g orean theorem, discovered 2,500 y e a rs ago, and to eliminate it from the knowledge of the present day would be to turn back the wheels of geometrical science hundreds ot years. T h e pons asinorum has for centuries been the bridge over which philosophers h ave passed to higher mathematical conquests.
M an y people strive to become original and succeed only in making themselves ridiculous. T h e an cients were accustomed to say that genius w as a gift from the gods, but the divine afflatus illumines the souls ot only the v e ry few. T h e great mass of mankind h ave a l
w a y s been simply imitators, aim they will be sucll until the end.
T h e few m ay be able to go beyond the beaten track oil knowledge and make new discoveries, but the many of mankind must be content with seeking good models and closely imitating them.
T h e four epic poets who take highest rank, Homer, Vergil, Dante and Milton, constitute a succession of imitators, but they are imitators to whom we owe a debt o f lasting gratitude. C a e s a r ’s commentaries on the G a llic wars, one o f the im perishables of the ancient classics, received its inspiration from and was modeled after that masterpiece o f G re ek literature,!

Italy' is behind all the other c i v i
lized nations o f E urope, and prob
ably in the world, o f the education ot her youths. T h is has alw ays been a source o f neglect until, very recently, slie has begun to awaken to the need of educating her hoys and girls. T h e first census of Italy' (exceptin g the cities of V enice and Rome) showed the startling illiter acy record o f two thirds of her p o p ulation. W hen, in 1866 P ru ssia ’s victories and I t a l y ’s disastrous de-- feats becam e so striking, Pasquale Villori and Aristide G a b e lli, two educators, declared that the sch ool
masters rather than the guns were the chief factors in Prussia's su c
cess, the people began to he arous
ed. But they did not thoroly aw a k e until in 1872 when it was found that there were in tne coun
try' 18,000,000 ana/jaheti (total illit
erates.)
In 1877 compulsory education laws were passed requiring that all children o v e r s i x years ot age not attending schools be sent to public schools. T h e term of c o m pulsory' education h ow ever is hut three years, and as no officers are paid to enforce this law it is v e ry
otten evaded. T h e state has a l w a y s subordinated education to oilier things, particularly' the m ili
ta ry service, which receives the hulk of appropriations; the s ta te ’s educational appropriations being hut nine millions per year, to which are added twelve millions from the communes and provinces. Italy p a y s but four libra and forty-six- centimes per y ear for every one hundred children.
Every' commune provides e l e mentary’ education in one or more public schools. B o y s and girls at
tend separate schools. B esides the public, technical, and private schools, there h ave been provided schools in. barracks, where illiterate conscripts are taught 2 hours a day b y the officers, aud for those u n able to a v ail themselves of these adva n tag es, there are uignt, S u n d a y and holiday schools, the teach ing in which is partly voluntary.
S econdary classical education is obtained in about seven hundred and fifty ginn asi (gymnasiums) and three hundred aud twenty-five licei (lyceuius). 'The
1
icei prepare for secondary courses in technical schools of which there are about four hundred, aud for the university of which there are twenty-one—■
many unimportant. T h e giimasi and licei offer classical courses of five and three years respectively, the courses in the latter included.
T h e teachers are poorly paid, aud because of this few are attract
ed to that profession. But it is said that notwithstanding all this the school buildings, especially in cities are well kept; and the tea ch ers, even with a salary ramnnv
from two hundred fifty to four hun
dred dollars a year, can still afford a luxury' which A m eric.ui teachers are denied, that is, a servan t in l i v ery to walk to walk behind them to and from school, to carry their hooks, lunch liaskets, etc.; for the national trait 'from king down to b eg g ar is to fa r e nna helia fig u ra (cut a fine figure).

U D R U N came o f illustrious and heroic ancestry. H er grand father, H a ge n , while a boy of seven y e a rs was seized by a g riffin and borne over land and sea to its nest on a distant rocky cliff.
One of the young griffins stole the child away from the rest and lost him. He found his w ay to a cave where several other children who had escaped from the birds in like manner were in hiding. T h e y were all rescued by a ship. H a g e n was returned home and becam e king.
He wedded K il d e one o f the maidens who lik e h in is e lf had been lost in the c a v e . T h e y becam e the parents of a daughter who was called Hilde in honor of her moth
er. S h e was v e ry beautiful. Suitor after suitor tried to win her but her father alw ay s refused. F in a lly K in g Hettel secured her by stratagem.
Of this union were born Gadrun a daughter fajrer even than her mother, and Ortwiue, a son.
Gudruu was educated so well by her mother that m any lovers came to find her favor, among them Hartmut, son o f L u d w ig , K in g o f Norm andy, Siegfried, K in g of Moorland, and H e rw ig o f Zealand.
Hettel dismissed them all claiming that his daughter was too young to marry. K n o w in g H e tte l’s a d m ir a tion o f martial valor, H e rw ig deter mined to make war upon him and force him to g iv e Gudrun to him for wife. T h e battle came off, and so fiercely was it fought that Hettel declared H e rw ig worthy to receive his d a u g h ter’s hand. T h e wedding d a y was appointed.
•Then H e rw ig learned that S e ig fried, K in g o f Moorland, e x a s p e r ated by je a lo u sy because o f his success, had invaded his kingdom and was plundering his fertile lands. Bidding a spee d y goodby to his betrothed lie hastened home to defend his country. Hettel prom ised him help and soon joined him.
Hartmut now seeing his oppor tunity invaded M atelan, kidnapped
j
Gudrun, taking her and all her at I tendants to Normandy. On hisw ay he stopped for food and rest at Wuelpensand at the mouth of the Sch eldt river. Hilde, crazed with g rie f at "her bereavem ent, d i s patched messengers to inform H e t tel and H e rw ig of the disaster.
T h e y left the,battle, and joined b y Siegfried proceeded to pursue Hart mut. Hettel, H e rw ig and S i e g fried reached Wuelpensand before Hartm ut left. A dreadful conflict ensued. N ig h t cam e'ou and inter rupted the fight. N e x t morning when H e rw ig and Siegfried m ar
shalled their forces they found that tlfe Norm ans had sailed a w a y dur
ing the night and had taken the fair Gudruu with them. Hettel and many others had been killed and the struggle had to be abandoned.
Arrived at Norm andy, Gudrun refused to marry Hartmut. Ger- linda, the mother of Hartmut, con
ceived a hatred for Gudrun because she spurned her so n ’s love.
“ L e a v e her in m 3'care, ” said Ger- linda to Hartmut when he left for war. No sooner was he gone than Gudrun was made a servant and along with another captive, in all kinds of weather, was forced to wash the royal linen by the seaside.
After many y e a rs of such treat
ment for her refusal to marry H a r t mut, a swan maiden approached one day as she was at her usual task.
“ F a ir maiden, ” it said, “ your brother and H e rw ig are coming to deliver you. ”
On the morrow a boat drew near containing H e rw ig and Ortwine.
T h e y promised to en gage Lu d w ig and Hartmut in battle the next da}', disdaining to take Gudrun a w a y b y stealth. Gudrun returned to the castle, declaring h erself a queen.
G erliuda, thinking that punishment had made her resolve to accept Hartmut. sent for him in haste.
When he arrived, Gudrun kept him at a distance, declaring it unfit for the proud Hartmut to embrace a washerwoman. Hartmut im m e
diately ordered her royal attend
ants restored, purple robes brought
i
oat ond her e v e ry wish gratified.
‘ T o m o rr o w ,’ ’ declared he, “ the beautiful Gudruu will be mine in d e e d .”
But on the morning all ex cept Gudruu and her attendants were surprised to see the castle sur
rounded by the forces of the H e ge lings come to rescue the pretty prisoner. A fierce battle raged.
Sw ords clashed, cuts and thrusts were g iv e n and received and gore flowed freely. Fortune finally f a vored the b rave and the fair. H e r w ig slew L u d w ig . Gerlinda or*
dered Gudrun to be . killed rather than let her friends take her a liv e . Hartmut saved her from his moth e r ’s wrath and went out and fought his rival bravely. Ortrun, sister o f Hartmut, b egged for his life when she saw him about to be defeated.
Gudrun, touched, called out to H e rw ig to desist.
T h e castle was plundered and the H e ge lin g s began to slay all they met. At.the request of Gudrun Ort run w a s saved and Gerlinda was massacred.
T h e victors then celebrated their success by a sumptuous feast served in the halls of the conquer
ed. Gutrun presided as queen, not as the wife o f H a r t mut, as some thought, but as the consort of H e rw ig . H er boast was made good.
T h e H e g e lin g s then sailed home taking the captives and the plun
der.
On reach ung M atelan Gudrun was effusively welcomed b y her mother, Hilde, who had long mourned her as lost.
Soon the royal marriage of Gudrun to H e rw ig w as celebrated with magnificent pomp.

T h e sermon was preached by the R e v . William Y . Tunnel!, S. T . B ., who based his discourse on the words, “ I f the truth shall make you free, y e shall be free in d e e d .”
T h e speaker began by showing eloquently the high value o f f r e e dom and the pains men h ave taken to secure it. T h e y h ave not stopped short of the conquest of the world and the shedding of p r e
boons o f mankind. History is full of strivings for freedom. Men unite constitutions, torce charters from tyrants and negotiate inter
national treaties that they and their fellows may enjoy liberty in large measure. One o f the strongest in fluences in securing to men release from fear and superstition is educa tion. Intellectual training raises human beings to the splendor of manhood.
T h e glory of G reece in her paltny days lias been, is and will long he the wonder and admiration of men.
T h e names of Socrates, Plato, Aris
totle, Demosthenes and Hom er and others of her illustrious sons retain undimmed their luster in compari
son \Vith the present d a y leaders.
Y e t the descendants of these men are a degenerate body, unworthy sons o f worthy sires. T h is fail was due largely to the lack of freedom for all, to their system o f serfdom.
In this;COuntry economic and soci
ological development are needed to-, eradicate graft and insure justice and liberty to citizens in general.
W e shudder sometimes at the cost
ly price men h ave paid for liberty.
N ow comes the promise, “ I f the truth shall make you free, ye shall be free in d e e d .” T h e Truth came to earth that man might be free.
T h e Truth tells us that we are the.
sot.s of God and it doth not yet ap pear what we shall he, but we know we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. It matters not wnat m an 's condition is—
wicked, outcast, wretched, poor, alone— he may a vail himself of G o d ’s offer. A le x a n d e r and Na
poleon were ambitions to conquct and rule the world, hut they could not make the world stay conquered, for theirs was the ambition of hate.
I f y e love not your brethren whoa y e h a v e seen, how can ye lp\t God whom y e h ave tie ver see#-' G o d ’s kingdom endures and i#
creases because it operates thr»
love. Truth manifesting itself it love not only has achieved .the conquest of the world but keeps tbi world conquered.

The Eureka S ocie ty o f the Pre paratory and Commercial D ep a rt
ments was largal.y atteiided last Friday evening. T h e most ini portent events were the appoint- iient of committee to arrange fo ra
])ul)!ic debate with M St. High School, and a motion to resoU e the E u re k a for a certain period into a mock congress, which was lost.
Owiiig to a previous unsuccessful attempt this y e a r to conduct a mock congress the majority decided to continue the E ureka. T h e society enjoyed the honor o f h avin g Prof.
DeCatur to conduct the ceremonies of installing the officers. Mr.
Moore, P res.-elect delivered a short inaugural address. He said in part:
‘ ‘ M em bers of the E ureka, on enter
ing upon the responsibilities which you h ave intrusted to me permit me to s ay that I deem it an honor;
and as I shall undertake to thank you and commit m y s e lf in this r e gard, I am wholly unable to e x press my sincere feelings. T h e surest and best pledge that I can make 011 b eh alf of this staff of of
ficers and of m yself is a constant and faithful ach eren ce to the duties of our respective offices, and with a hearty co-operation 011 \-our part toward the good order and interest of the society 1 am sure we all will reap the greatest benefits in that for which this organization s tan d s.”
In relerence to the proposed d e bate, Mr. Moore said .‘ ‘ T h ere ought to be something to stimulate and sharpen our rhetorical and oratorical faculties. T h is to my niind could best lie accomplished b y h a v in g one or two public deflates with schools o f our equal, nam ely:
H igh schools, Hampton Normal Institute and Petersburg Prep.
T h e iesult o f debates would be be far reach in g and w i ’ li good effect together with the great e n thusiasm.
‘ ‘ T h e re is another good that could come out of this All who are acquainted with the inline diale plans o f the Y . M. C A . in fitting out a gymnasium can readly see wherein these public debates could mean something fi
nancially to the Y . M . C. A. thus helping to bring about something which will lie o f great good and benefit to us a l l . ”
