AN EMACIPATOR OF
THOUGHT
A Little Lesson in Living.
The Living World.
Rebelliously Charles turned from
dead languages to the living world.
He fled the classroom for the field at
every Opportunity. He was a poor
student when it came to conjugating
irregular verbs, but he knew more
about the ways of insects and toads
and snakes than any one of his classi-

• Almost one Is impelled to believe
there malt he a. grain of truth in the
fancy of the ancient sages that cer-
tale times and seasons are more pro-
pitious to the birth of great men than
others; that when planets congregate
in certain signs then leaders of the
race are begotten.
But a strange coincidence. not so
often noted, la that on the very day
of the very year which saw the birth

human thought,' was Uttering its first

of Shrewsbery, England..
On February 12, 1809 -Lincoln's
Natal day -Charles Darwinewas born.
Thus the two greateat men of the
Nineteenth century -men who in their
respective spheres have never since
been matched -began life together in
time, though far apart In space and
station. '
Lincoln'struggled against the handi-
cap of poverty in order to get an edu-
cation and fit himself for his great sere
vice to 'humanity. Darwinstruggled
against the handicap ,ot privilege that
ho might free himself to follow the
gleam of truth, 'While others tell

must come from within. All the pre-
ceptors and instructors in the world
'cannot impart 1( 11 the inner urge be
lacking; but, granted that urge, neith-
er poverty nor prlvilege can prevent
it.
Class standing was no index to what
was going on in Darwin's mind. At
Cambridge he made the ocquatatance
of men of science. One was the geo-
logist Adam Sedgwick, who took a
great interest in him and carried him
00 a rock-hunting.ee.meeition in North
Wales. Another was Henslow, who
urged him to apply for the position of
naturalist on the Beagle, a ship start-
ing on a tour of scientific survey.
Out of that journey came his first
great books, and the training in 'close
observation and refleetion which later
bore such marvellous fruit, He was
twenty-two., when he sailed, twenty-
seven when he returned.' In July of
the following Year, 1837, he began his
fleet note beak on the "'trans= ta-
tiou of specks." - • I
There followed twenty-two Years or
untiring study, obseevation, notemak-
ing and hard, hard thinking, Then,
in 1859, burst upon the world his re-
volutionary work on the "Origin of ,
Species."
More than a decade later came "The
Descent of Iltan," These two books
formed. new channels for human
thought and the currents which pour.'

Blazed a Trail.
•
But ho blazed a trail; be brought an
unexplored world under the feet of
many a successor. He made the term
"evolution" familiar to us; he made
its significance a key to mysteries pre-
viously baffling. He loosened the
shackles of tradition.
What are some of the lessons in liv-
ing to be derived from Darwin's
story? First, the value of open, see-
ing eyes, which observe and note and
compare; which seo the things that
{others overlook; second, the value of
an open, reflective mind, which carries
1 no prejudices into its world of won -
dens, and meditates upon what it sees
until it has found a clew to what it
means; third, a love of truth which
will not be turned aside by fables and
SIMI-MIS; fourth, a courage of convic-
tion and eedventure, which follows
boldly its path even though it must be
the first to boat it down and make it)
passible for other feet.
And underlying these the great fact
which Darwin made clear for us,' that
back of all life It an urge which re-
fuses to be denied; an urge which bat-
tles against environment and compels
it to serve its higher ends; an urge
which carries forward all that is worth
while in living experienee and employs
it for new achievements; an urge
which lifted the slimy denizen of the
ees bottom and taught it to swim,
which carried the fish ashore and
taught It to creep and leap; which
gave the reptile wings, and developed

manufactured by James Parker. Na-

•• The Watson Chair;
Sir Robert Falconer, President of
the University of Toronto, leaves on
March 26th for Europe. He has been
invited by the Anglo-American Society
to be the incumbent in 1925 of the Sir
George Watson Chair of American
History, Literature, and Institutions.
The acceptance of this invitation
means that he will deliver a series of
six lectures at university centres in
Great Britain. Sir Robert has chosen
as his subject "The United States as
a Neighbor," and will deliver the
opening lecture at the Mansion House,
London, on May 12th, when the Lord
Mayor of London will preside.
Tho Watson Chair was founded and
endowed by Sir George Watson, Bt.,
on the occasion of the return of the
Prince of Wales from his American e
tour at the end of 1919. Just before si-eaet.fle:lit
the war, when plans were under way Cilicia
for tho celebration of cur hundred
years of peace with America, it was
discovered that no university in Great
Britain had either a chair or a lec-
tureship in American history. With
his gift Sir George Watson undertook
to remedy this defect.
The Anglo-American Society has yeene
