A great deal of detail work was
necessary to complete arrangements
for the contest so that all might
start at the same time and under
equal conditions. It“ has only been
due to the hearty co-operation of the
school authorities that these ar-
rangements have been completed
smoothly.
There are sixteen local class
prizes as well as a. grand prize in
addition to the 11 international
prizes. The contest closes on No-

essays will be turned into the beach-

"In many homes that are consid-

present. Many persons have stop-

damage is done to the eye because
it does not complain immediately.

writer's health had caused anxiety.
Gradually his condition became
worse. Until only a few days' ago.
he himself expressed the.convictlon
that he had but a few hours of life

Owing to his advanced age. so

his recovery. but almost up to the

around him and was able at times
to converse briefly.
In the passing or Anatole France.
there is lost to France and to the
whole world the genius of a man
who. as interpreter of the French
spirit during the past 50 years. has
told them he had done the best he
could when he gave them permis-
sion to speak but explained that the
'l‘own Hall property did not come
under his Jurisdiction. The Mayor
was heard to say that free speech
ought not be denied anyone. He of-
fered any part of the city of Slam-

stump for the Mayor in the coming
any election.
Mr. Martin. in an interview. ex-
plained that the speakers had mis—

were talking. registering of "to be

Anatole France showed 'to the
world the real France, compassion-
ate, devoted. brllllan! and spiritual.
and he has been described as
ultimate flowering of French genius.
Ramsay Macdonald said of him in
1924: "There'is not any living
writer- who is so fully appreciated in
his own country. or who has in r.
pretod in so durable a manner he

thy of French genius."
The writings of Anatole France
are known for their imaginative and
delicate grace. the simplicity of his
0! imagination France once said:

virtue in the world. We are gr
only through our imagination."
France was a great French llter~
ary master. yet he was a. very hu-
man man. given to gossip. serious
about small things. lighthearted
about weighty matters. tolerant.
kind and Just. and a most charming
conversationalist. Thus he came to
be called “1e bon maltre" by his
friends. For more than half a cen-
tury he was famous as a critic. ee~
saylst, and novelist. possessing a.
style "compounded of neologlsms.
rare eplthets and startling forms of
expression." He was a skeptic in
religlon. metaphysics. morals. poll-
ucs. aesthetics and science. in doubt
often even of his own negative con-
clusions. .
In later years his ideal under-
went a change. He became an ad.
vocate of Russian Bolshevlsm.
France first became interested in
politics at the time of the Dreyfus
trial due. it is said. to hls'love for
a. Jewess.
France achieved his wonderful
mastery of the French language by
hard work. It is related of him that
his first proofs from the printer
were only the beginning. He re-
wrote his matter time and sums
