CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A SUCCESSFUL OLD school-
master.
By A. W. MACY,
A good Illustration of how a
man of ordinary ability may at-
tain success by making the most
of his opportunities Is found in
Alcuin, an English schoolmaster
of t?Te eighth century. When re-
turning from*a visit to Rome he
fell under the notice of the Em-
peror ( harlemaghe. It so hap-
pened that the err.peror wa*
looking fo- a principal for his
royal school, and he effered A!*
culn tne place. Alcuin accepted,
and this was the beginning of a
greet career, especially for a
schoolmaster. It was a heavy
burden Charlemagne Imposed
upon him—that he 6houta make
the Franks familiar with the
Latin language, c.eate schools,
and do every tl mg he could to
revive learning. But he ac-
cepted the task willingly, work-
ed faithfully, and succeeded far
beyond h!o own e 'poctatlons.
His Influence on tl * mtellectua!
development of * i ->pc. can
hardly be over-estimated. It
may almost be said that the edu-
tional development of the
modern world dates from him
and his school. Yet all accounts
agree that he was a man of only ^
ordinary ability. He succeeded :
by keeping everiastlngly at it. f

.........^ - than $5,000. or an imprisonment of

"Eiectra along this line, when Eiectra

We did not accuse the Times of any-

Tact that the main drawing cai’d used
cby the Chamber of Commerce of
^Wichita Falls in advertising through-
^but the counti’y, setting forth her re-
i^^qurces and endeavoring to attract
1-capital" to invest in that city is oil
r^which is mainly furnished by Elec-

fort they put forth to build their city, j

Of efiterprise on the par£ of our own

improper co-operation we could make
