dumtied as a bad pout. Nothing could be
mero unjust. Thu pout may be binned
for net deinn what it plainly was possible

If we consider him worthy the name of a

can he deserve such distinction by the de

dietice te the oiigressiug contumplatieii of
the moral law by which thu weild is gov
erned, hu calls their attention te thu
human uaniru as exhibited m these qiul
tics by which men are betrayed into sin.
Thu skill of thu poet is exhibited in thu

Oedipus and Jecasta, wu de net kuew
which most te admlte, the earnestness
of the luliiuus conception en vvhieh It

with which the poet unfolded thu cliarao cliarae

that his diama taught was, nut thu lessen
which bis uudicnue wished, but thu lessen
which they needed. That thu thoughts
that are manifest in bis works wure his
life long convictions is uvlileiiecd from thu
fact that thu dtamas of bis youth and
tboKe of his old age biuathu a tirm belief
lu the samu uuuclusleus, Thu lessen
which be came te teach, feittidud en eter
nal truth, was intended for all ages ami
all conditions of seciety.
With Euripides en thuetlur liainl all this
underwent a oemplcto mutainorpliecis, Hu.
tween his birth and that of Sophocles was
a perl'vl of only flfteeu years, yet in that
short time came a win Id of chatige There
was no longer a ilrmly settled luligluus
foundation for thu drama te rust en, no
ethical iihiloKepby te give it depth of pur pur pur
pose and unity of design. Within that
brief iHirlcd Athens had become the ac
knowledged political and intellectual cuntie
of Greece, ami bail readied that stagu el
solf-rellcctien and self analysis, which
sooner or later cemea te evury pjople
whose national lifu is pei mittud te unfold
itsulf without interruption. It was a
poiied of gieat pessibililius for geed, ind
of great pessibilitius for evil. The agu
needed a "uuw philosophy. ..which should
uuablu every individual, siucu no goueral
authority any longer existed, te take
counsel with himself, aud le acqulre au
iudopeiuicnt judgment in all mural ques
tions, And se far as dramatic art was con
cerned, all this mental ami spiritual unrest
was changing the conditions en which its
futuru existuueu ilupumlcd. Tliudr.tr.ia of
.h'ceby las and Sophocles, dealiug as itilid
with types and ideals failed te iutuiest thu
H3W audiences, who demanded uovelty
aud oxeiteiuout, who wero loud of subtlu
paradox aud of proving " tbe werse te bu
the better reason."
Tlie Teel llie l'ruilaui nl the Times
Wbile Greek audionces wero thus under
going a radical change, Kuripldes was also
au aottve participant in an mu speauiauve
ferment of his times, l'ure lu life, ami
poHi'essod by an autive religious craving,
liu early pjred ever thu works of lleraclitus,
the plillosephy of Auaxa;erau,aud the but.
ter te fit hliiiHelf te wrcstlu with the
etilgmas of the univorse, dovetod himself
te the study of dialectics and rhetoric.
Hut his soarehlng led te no conclusion aud
he was tee onlightenod te accept tbe tra.
ditieuul .. ' . - ' iled, He was In
fact asmuch the representation of Athenian
doclliie as yKschyIiiH aud Sophocles had
beep tbe representatives of Its triumph and
resplendent glory.
liut although men ami meu's vlews
change, the Inanlmate and impersenal
forms in which their lives aud thoughts
liave long bceu running are often Inca
pable el variation. Fer this reasen dra
matic art in the days of Kuripldes remain,
cd essentially the samu as it had been lu
the days of Kschylus. Seciety was net
yet far enough removed from thu customs
of the olden time te admit of the radical
oliauge in the drama, which the genius of
Kurlpldes was capable of conceiving.
When the circumstances, thoreforo, which
surrounded him are oensidorod, It Is some
what surprising that Kuripldes devoted
hlmself te tragic poetry. Hut in accept
ing the t.iHk which his genius impesed
upon him, he preperly regarded the in
tellectual movement of the times as cssen
tlally a movemout iit the direction of
hlgher truth, and he always adhered te
thu belief that the artist should be in
sympathy with his age. This Interpreta
tion, whlle correct in its oudeavor te glve
au adequate expression te the spirit of his
time.did net go far enough, in notattompt netattompt notattempt
ing in r.uy ethor way te mould, control or
diruct it. The samu dramatie materials
aru used by him as of old, but no longer as
symbolic examples of the divlue govern,
ment of the world. They are rather used
te illustrate tbe crlme and vice with which
man is hemmed lu. Chance took the
place of an omnipotent aud merciful
providence, aud the drama came te rcprcs
out net faith and holiness but stout bearU
cdncss and tbe quality of stelo oudurauce
of thu sufferiugs which the chauceft of life
bring with them.
The Tendency uf llie A;e.
ltec.uisu he was dcstitute of profound
aud positive religious or moral principles
which might give depth aud unity te his
works, hu resolved te adapt his drama te
thu character of his audience aud glve
them what they wanted, even If it was net
geed for thorn. His horeos accordingly ceme
upon the stage arrayed in all the splendor
of thu mythical past, yet lewered into the
character of ordinary mortals, fretted
with the ordinary troubles of human life.
They talk aud wrangle, aud plead and
quibble liku se many of the Athenians of
thu new aud radical school, and in every
way show that thu pout was as far re
moved from healthy art lu tbe troatment
of bis material as in the matter of his first
principles. In all these changes Kuripldes
was being led by au instinct that was as
unerring as the ferment of bis age was tbe
necessary result of the previous tendencies
of Greek history. Tbe effort was te bring
man te a truu knowledge of himself, aud
in thu attempt te selve this problem thore
was necessarily a inuvoment from the uui
versal te tlie particular, from the gcneral
te the individual. This beiug thu ten
dency of the agu, the drama could nut but
fellow tbe goueral law. In -Kschylus we
(Ind the typical predominant ; in Sopho
cles the individual has rlsen into promi
nence, hut the general aud typical still
i ciuaiit as a doeponiug and unifying prin
ciple ; but in Euripides thu individual is
all in all. The standpoint from which he
viowed tbe world was that of tbe sophist,
aud doubt aud disbelief wero unmistaka
bly among his chief characteristics.
Euripides was nut great lu tbe suuse in
which bucralcs was great, no lacked
that powerful concentration aud illumina
tion of thu mind by which he could pono peno pone
trato the confusion uf tbe times in which
bu lived, aud, holding fast le what was
geed in tlie past aud in the prosent, ideal
ly construct fur bimseK a social erder
belter than any that bad yet oxisted. Ner
was bu a great pout in thu suusu in which
.Esuhylus nud Sophocles wero great,
fur the roaseu that his moral ideas were at
all times tbu outgrowth of confusion and
vacclllatien. Yet bis genius was such as
te preperly interpiut thu piesuut condition
of his pceplu, and thu present needs of
tiagic art, but it was net sudloieut te
feiesuu what that condition indicated. Iu
thu department of thu picturesque hu is
without a iiv.il. He, iu fact, formed thu
Initial point of thu modern drama, as thu
poet, net of thu idual ami general lelatieus
iu which man Mauds, but of his real ami
individual uiicunmtauces. The measure of
his strength and weakness is the strength
aud woakneBs of his age, aud net with
standing all bis faults, the beauty that is
"as luminous as a Greek statue" will
glorify him throughout all the ages.
A Modern Parallel.
Tbe study of Kuripldes' career takes ou
a new interest from the fact that his age
in many respects icsembled our own. Tlie
pioBeut is au age of upheaval
and destruction, of soieutilic inquiry
aud of doubt, in which the indi
vidual is asserting fur himself an
abselute indoH)udeuej of these goueral
principles which wero at oue aud tliosame
tlmu thu guides ami safeguards of men of
former days. Te tbose who are in clese
contact aud sympathy with the utilitarian
Iciiduncles of the agu, it seems that our
institutions of higher culture ought te
prupate our young men for practical life
by se ordering thuir conn-es of study that
they shall beat dliectly upon that end.
They insist that the college curiiculuin
should b? se far modified as te allow oaeh
student te select bis htudies according te
his individual judgment of what will bu
rcuuircd of bini in after life. This is te
de precisely what Kmipcdcs did te give
te thu age what it wants and net what it
ueeds. It implies that tbusu who havu
had no uxpuriuuee at all are wiser tbati
tboHewho have had ; or that business
nun whose only connection with educa
tion ia uxturual and accidental aiu nuue
oempotoiit judges of what should be the
scepu aud mullieds of higber education,
than these who liave devoted thulr lives
te the task.
l'hu Truu Kurpiine ul UuUdkeh.
It should bu beruu In mind that colleges
aru net pulyteubuiu schools, and should
net aud de net preiess te propare young
mun for thu active dtitius uf lite. What
thuy de undertake te de is te give young
mun n bread, deep aud goueral outline in
which their future muutal development
may always rest itself. Mr. Adams' at
tack en thu classics seems based oil tbe
falsu assumption alluded te. He Is like
wise strikingly Inconsistent lu Ills selection
of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Macaulav as ex
amples of thu geed results of a classical
education, only te assail that system which
has made it possible for these meu te be
what they are. Hut setting aside tliese
Inconsistencies let us take au example of
Mr. Adams' theory roduced te practice In
Germany, the educational condition of
which ia very similar te our own, the In In In
orcase of non classical scholars has been se
great oitice the passage of the law dispens
ing with that tralulng as a necessary qual qual qual
llloiitien for entrance into the university,
that the professors lu the unlveisity of
Herlln declare that it has a very serieus
oll'eot In deteriorating the old time oxeol
lonce of.Gerinan scholarship. Mr. Adams'
system fnlgbt furnish a studeut with aecu
rate kuowledge aud correct methods, but
it canuet lift him te that altltude of mind
nud spirit which the contemplation of past
ages, the hldduu soureos of all the doeper
currents of modern thought, he iudisput
ably brings.
Te him who mnveH euly in the narrow
sphcre of his Immcdiate prorent, the
"hard thoroughness" which Mr. Adams
says modern educational inotheds lack,
may be mifllolent. Yet the Herlln pro
fessors are unanimous lu thelr observation
that tliose who have rocelvod a preliminary
classical training seen begin te loave their
non classical rivals in the rear. This test!
tueny obtains its particular value from tLe
faet that It comes from the foremo
scholars and professional educators In the
world, who work In dopartments which
usually are thought te he most widely
soparated from all sympathy with classical
study. Strange te sav they most appreve
of that which Mr. Adams most detcsts,
viz., the study of Greek. They rightfully
assert that it has a much morn Immodiate
relation te the intellectual world than the
Latin has, for the reasen that the Groeks,
and net the Remans, wero the first te
dovelop the I nguage, litorature, art and
philosophy which gleiify the ages Iramod Iramed Iramod
lately proccdent te the Christian era.
Ne ethor language and litorature has
evor attained te the dogreo of perfection
which tbe Greeks gave te theirs, and no
ethor poeplo sustain the same rotation te
the modern porled an they bus tain te it.
New it cannot be otherwiso than that the
study of such a language aud litorature,
dovelopcd in tbe crisp froshness of the
world's spiritual morning, should glve te
the sludent, net only an incomparably
better altltude from which his futuie life
Is te work out its results for the world,
than the story of any ethor language and
litorature could give him, but also koenor
perceptions, greater Indopeudonco of judg judg
ment, a mero solf-pessossod and oalmer
fiplrlr, aud Biirer intellectual metheds, as
the tools with which te carry forward his
work. Theery and oxperionco are hore in
perfect harmony and oeustltuto a swoop sweep
ing, sllouelng condemnation of Mr. Adams
and tbose who think, or prefess te think,
with him. i
