X- I J-L: E lf' S PEEC H . . .- A HIDDEN IN the shadow of the Andes is a modest. mud-walled house. It is sur- rounded by trees and beautiful flaming flowers. In the shade of a Hg tree sits an old woman busily spinning. Her son, Do- mingo, is innocently playing with the neigh- boring children. Q Thiiiifk scarcely the place from which one wicliuld expect a great man to emerge. But neither was Central Kentucky, where Lincoln hard been born two years before mylhero, Domingo Sarmiento. He began growing like any normal boy of his day, but as he grew, so grew his troubles-troubles which were to change his life abruptly. Rosas was dictator of Argentina at the time, and a despot. He killed or exiled those who disagreed with him, and ruled the country with an iron hand. One day, Rosas ordered Sarmiento to close his shop and mount guard. Sar- miento refused. For that Sarrniento was whipped and thrown into prison. At every slash of the whip, his body was in agony. As his body was tortured, his mind was cleared. He then knew that he must lead his country against this tyrant, and strive for international freedom. He thought his country's greatest need was to have educated people. So he began to help educate the common people. He ROSEANN PASSERO studied the educational systems of the en- tire world, then finally patterned his own after the United States. After many years of unceasing help to his countrymen, in September 1888 he died. As the bearers carried the coffin through the grief-stricken crowd, everyone wept. The casket was draped in the flags of four nations with which he had been most in- timately associated. The Hag of Argentina was one-The country where he had been born, and of which he had become president. The Hag of Chile was the second-The country where he had spent so many years of his life. The flag of Paraguay was third-The country with which he had established a just and lasting peace. And fourth was the flag of Urugauy-because it was in that nation that his ideas had found their most receptive soil. Then as the casket was lowered into the grave these words resounded over the crowd. Argentina has lost one of its most eminent sons, and America a noble apostle of liberty. Men like Domingo Sarmiento honor their country and are the glory of mankind.

Claudius tried to pray after he saw Hamlets play. He tried to ask forgiveness. He tried to repent. He expresses a regret that he cannot pray in these words: O, my oyjleure lr muh, if mzells I0 heuzfeug If hath the ,willful elcleff eurre u,t10u'f, A br0fher'.r muruler. Pruy mu I uot, Though lueluuzfiou be ur Jhmfp uf will: My 5z'1'0uge1' guilt llefeuzif ul y Jtroug luleul, Azul like u uuzu to double bufluefr bouucl, I rfuful lu juzure u'he1'e I .fhull fir!! beglu, U flufl bofh ueglecf. After trying to pray, he said: My ZUOVLZIJ fly up, my ihoughlf remuuz below: llyorulr zvlfhoul thoughts uezfer I0 heuzfeu go. There is one last great similarity between these two evil men: that is their deaths. Macbeth would not surrender to Macduff, a man whose family he had destroyed. Mac- beth had nothing to live for, he was friendless, near insanity because of his gnawing conscience, and grief-stricken at his wife's death, thought to have been a suicide. He was finally killed by Macdulf, who brought his head, once so full of wicked schemes, to the new king, Duncan's son. Claudius did not refuse to fight. He was not given the chance to. Hamlet caught him unaware and ran his sword through him. He also was almost friendless, except for the few members of the court who shouted 'lTreason! when Hamlet killed his uncle. Ironically, his wife, like Macbeth's, died first, from a poisoned wine meant for her son, Hamlet. So, Claudius and Macbeth met with untimely deaths. Shakespeare made them pay for their misdeeds. He seemed to believe the saying that we hear so often today: Crime does not pay! Indeed, for these men, the evil they did, lived after them. Laertes, who had plotted to kill Hamlet with Claudius said of the king as he died: ,MV m fr, t F, 55,5535 He if juftl y Jerzfezlg I' ' ' ' Il 15 u pozyou ieuzpefd by hzmselffl W 1 af: , I f ,E In speaking of Macbeth, Duncan s son Malcolm said if ,L 5.25-5' .1-1h,,- , - gy f gf- tif -'J: 1',,? 1 . , pg -if b .. lVhu!
