By DR. ItUSSELL H. CONWELL CHAPTER I fTlHE Temple University was begun - as an evening school. It was start ed to supply a most conspicuous neces sity. In 1884 the city of Philadelphia had no public evening schools and there wero only a few Institutions which supplied any Instruction for the labor ing classes during their spare hours in the day. The lack of Instruction kept, the rate of wages low, owing to the lack of earning power. Enterprise, public spirit 'and tho happiness of tho mlddlo classes wero restricted nnd re strained by the lack of knowledge how best to apply themselves to their op portunities. Thero was a great door, and It was wide open. It was not difficult to supply such a crying need, when It was so apparent to all tho people that come advance must be made In our school systems so as to provide education for tho masses who could not afford to attend school regularly after they reached tho earn ing age. Our great nnd efficient public-school system, which has surpris ingly kept pace with the advance of the country In population and wealth, was doing a very Important and neces sary work In training the children, but It could not go far enough to prepare the young people to enter directly Into business or skilled labor. Training RJenns Casli There wero many thousands of poor people who could have earned a good living themselves if they had only ob tained a 'few months or years of prac tical education. Thousands of them were anxious to study and were will ing to make great sacrifices to obtain instruction, .'jut lacked tho discipline and Information they could have ob tained if their spare hours could havo been utilized for valuable study. Near ly every city In tho United States was In need of the samo Instruction. But for some feason tho desire and energy were not strong enough to actually de velop Into deeds. The rich were rap Idly growing richer and tho two aris tocracies, one of wealth and the other nf avoinaivA education, were threaten ing to undermlno the democracy of the American nation, and the Ignorant were becoming the nctunl slaves of the -wise and wealthy. Tho condition grew out of tho fact that the nation had suddenly come Into wealth and power, and the new condition brought -out nat urally tho traits or cnaracier wmui lHMiJKSnHBSI i DR. CONWELL, RICH POOR MAN, BENEFACTOR TO THOUSANDS Doctor Councils olncc in the University Sudden wealth or sudden political in fluence gives to manKina. Wealth firings Penalties The attempts to imitate the Euro naen innHtiitlnns. manners and cus toms wero often grotesque, but pro duced very serious results. The la borer saw that he was not often get ting his fair share of the profits of the business In which he was virtually a partner, but 'he was too Ignorant to avail himself of honorable and effective means to secure Justice. Oftentimes the capitalist, who had come Into wealth ho had not earned, was Incapa ble of handling his money so as to make it profitable to himself or pre vent its being injurious to others.- Intellectual and moral education was necessary to, the preservation of the equality ana nuvi " lean democracy. An unintelligent or unprincipled voter, held a dangerous power and might destroy himself and others in the rude handling of such a dynamic force. The people must be intelligent in order to rule wisely, and ill'.: -t v. moral and religious In order to rule generously. Such thoughts were in the minds of many patriotic and philanthropic peoplo In 1884. Advico From Pastor The following interview with the first young man who applied for In struction In the class which afterward became the Temple College and s now theTemple University Is as plain and accurate a report as can .be recalled of the actual conversation held tme 2...J m June.. 1884. The Interview took place In a littlo office in the base, ment of a small church known as the Grace Baptist Church, at the corner of 1 Berks and Marvine streets, Phlladel phla The writer of this article was then the pastor of that church, and tie young man who called upon him fo? advlcf was a printer by tho name r-vmrlM M. Davles. Ouestlon "I heard you say in a ser ...?.Ji. Lnr,f tho best educated Sen" of AmsrlcaT and a very large portion .of th mo. rreUe?.edu" ce. that they had studied In their snare hours and pursued regular and Srefu l readings at times when other men were asleep or who wero tdly waltlngjror something to turn up. 1 wintersT at our office have been dls cussing the matter at the noon-day re cess, and the most of them believe sin cere y that there Is no hope for the or dinary young man to secure such an eduction as will enable him to com petowlth the graduates of our oristo bratlo universities. So I have come in to tell you my situation and ask your advice. For, it I can do fitter than I am doing I wish to start about it it once. I feel that I am fitted for but I am bound as with iron chains by' my environment. My, father is r dead and I am left with the care of my mother and the younger children of our family, and it-seems impossible to supply their growing needs even with tho barest necessities of life. I think I am getting as large pay as I could expect from the kind of work which I om doing, and I mUBt be of more service or work many more hours, or our family must scatter and perhaps become the objects of publlo "I have often felt that I could write books or practice law or teach if I had sufficient Instruction, but there seems to bo' no possible opportunity for mo to get tho hours or the books for prac Ileal study. While I should like to know more, because of thp great sat isfaction It must bring in life to bo, , able to comprehend and enjoy wider views and deeper, knowledge, yet my ., first thounht.must be how.to.earn food ubJ efcrthln jwta keep my tnotltfr rrott nit n4 Uw cMMnn in MtuL I had to leave school and go to work before I had finished tho usual gram mar school course In tho public school, and wo havo not had tho means to buy books; so that all I now learn I get from the articles which I set up In type. "I tnougm it i coma oniy gei an education enbugh to be a proofreader, that I could got a placo where my pay would bo increased. But you said that men like Ellhu Burrltt and Abraham Lincoln secured a most useful educa tion, who began under difficulties which seemed to mo to be greatct than my own. I am willing to begin, on one hour's study a day and sleep ono hour less if such a small amount of time will bo of any actual use. "I am told that I can get books from ono of our semipubllc libraries by tho payment of two dollars a year, and If I had some one to advise me or overlook my study I would begin nt once and give this matter an honest trial. I feel in my soul that i am fitted for something worth while, and I havo a firm belief that my Creator Intended mo to do some larger work. I have prayed over this matter long and havo been many times disappoint ed In my hopes. But . gleam of light camo to mo with the thought that 'what man has done, man can do. Is thero any help foe such a person as I am?" . A Sure Tiling Wanted Answer "My young friend, you seem to bo looking nt these matters from the wrong point of view. You are following tho usual custom of looking at all things which you can not do Instead of computing tho things which you can do. Tho chief reason why the masses of tho -people do not securo a much more neiprui caucauon Is simply because of their lack of faith. No ono undertakes to do what ho Is sure he cannot do, nnd many re fuse to undertake to perform an act the success of which Is doubtful.. All want suro thing. Your life seems to be a hard one. and. anyhow, pre sents problems somewhat difficult to solve, but you need to carefully go over your waking hours and seo If you could not, without lnjurv to your health, get at least one-half hour a day for mental exercise. You may bo taking some precious moments for tho reading of advertisements in the newspapers on tho car or on the rail way which you could clvo to tho study of a useful . book. The harder tho problem tho more valuable Is the men tal discipline renuireu in solving u. Tho more difficult the climb the more victorious Is tho man nt the top. You should look at your, difficulties as you would upon great opportunities and of mind which a poor boy gets who is obliged to work to secuie his edu cation Is often of far more valuo to him, nnd through him of far more valuo to tho world, than nn education so-called which 1 too easily obtained! "Tho poor boy in America still has an open door to the most useful edu cation, and I am suro If you study your circumstances with a positive determination that you will secure a necessary education to mako your nat ural 'talents of tho most uso that you will win triumphantly within a few years. 'Where there's a will there's a way.' You would have no desire for further instruction If It were not for thn ambition which vour natural- tal ents put Into your lite. Try to be esneclallv economical In tho uso 01 vour time, cet tho best books, asso ciato with tho best people, and let your conversation at tno lauio do about. something that Is helpful or on themes that aro Inspiring. If your mother feels compelled to take board ers to help pay the way of tho family, try to get such boarders as will be helpful in tho Influenco of their pres ence ana In the thoughts wnicn mey express. Intelligent boarders aroi often a whola university to a boy llv- ing In the house." i Enthusiasm Needed Question "That advice seems a littlo too general to fit my case, al though I feel a full nmbltlon to do something more than I am doing now, I hardly dare to give wings to my natural ambition lest I should be dis appointed and be broken-hearted by my failure. What Is tho first book you would advise me to get?" Answer "You must arouso yourself to that pitch of enthusiastic hope where you will bo sure that you can not fall and will enter on your life's work without fear. As to tho first book you should read or study, you must do considerable thinking about that choice before you risk all your time upon Its perusal, What Is the first great need In your life?" Question "If I am to bo a lawyer 1 suppose I will need to get a law book, or If I am going to bo a financier I will need a book on political economy, but that seems to me like a leap in the dark because 'I cannot get books nor securo the time to study them If I had them given to ine .until I pro vldo for tho family and myself the ne cessities of life. I must live If I am going to study." To Invest TalcnU Answer "Our conversation is lead- Questions and A'nstvers That Tell of a Constant Struggle Upward of the Lowly I Intellectual and Moral Edu cation Necessary to the Preservation of Democracy and you havo told me already that you could earn more money If yo'i wero a proofreader. If, after caretui thought upon tho subject, you should concludo that that Is tho nearest way to n larger Incomo, nnd that It Is an occupation which will add to vour In. tellectual strength, then get tho books and seek the help of friends and mako yourself a first-class proofreader nt tho earliest possiblo day It will not do to look too far ahead with tho details lest you bo discouraged with tho amount of work ahead, but tho proofreading thoroughly done will lead you naturally to tho editor's chair, and tho newspaper life is In Itself one of tho most magnificent universities ever established, As a reporter, editor or correspondent, you would bo con tinually educating yourself In the most useful and Interesting affairs of human lifo and would bo fitting your sel' every working hour for tho authoishlp of good'buoks. You would avail yourself of every oppoitunlty In church life, In social llto and In po litical life to use your talents and knowledge In brief and carefully pre pared adi'csses, nil of which leads us directly Congress, tho United States Sei Ue. to tho hlch olllees nf In dustry and culture. That, while It at first seems visionary and improbable, Is after all tho usual course by which , men aciuovo greatness In America. You should aim hlirh and knen tho mark always In sight, but you should not waste tlmo or strength in bemoan ing the slowness of your progress or i in foolish dreaming. Do the vciy next ining, and do it well," Tho ltcv. Dr. Ilusscll II. Conwell has been descrlbod as a. wealthy poor man. He made big fortunes nnd has used them for' others. Ho thinks It n glorious thing to bo rich, because riches enable a man to do so much good. There aro things In tho world more priceless than gold: but common sense, he sas, tells us that they nre enhanced by the possession of money, Orow rich and do good! That Is the doctrine ho has preached to young men; and ho has given his preachment point by helping them to make good. Just how It was done Is told In the Interesting story begun In this Issue. He has helped tiic young; but his own life Is nn Inspiration to the mlddlc-ngcd. He fias accomplished his greatest work In life since his fiftieth birthday, nnd at seventy-six Is still everlastingly "at 11, at It." It's a safe bet that he wns a wild kid. He ran away from his home on a Berkshire, Massachusetts, farm, when he was fourteen; but that time he didn't get any further awny than Boston. Two years later ho made a trip across the Atlantic on a cattle boat. That Is an experience worlh while. When he reached home again ho earned sufficient money to go to Wllbrnham Academy, and two years' preparation enabled him to enter Yale, In 1860. When Lincoln In 1SC2 called for troops Conwell raised a company nnd ho becamo its captain. It is curious to note that while at college he became n scoffer at the Bible, but life ns a soldier made him ngntn a believer. Those who arc In a position to know say that has been also the cxperlcnco of thousands of young men on tho battlefields of Europe. While on a furlough, as a result of a wound received In South Caro lina, pcaco was declared. Ho thereupon studied law In Springfield, Mass., nnd was admitted to tho bar. In the years that followed ho innde a big reputation for himself as a newspaper reporter nnd correspondent. Hut ho wns not satisfied. Back of his mind was the desire to become a clergy man, and In tho lato soventics ho took chargo of a Baptist Hock In Lex ington. In 1882 ho came to this city to take tho pastorate of Graco Baptist Church. Of his great work In Philadelphia everybody knows. His lecture tours havo made him a national figure. The Temple University is nn enduring monument to his worth. Ho is still young, though he has done 150 years' worth of work In his sovcnty-slx years. clal work to be dono for which only one person Is fitted to do best, and you are that person.
