The 'l'ro- jans fHll5llll'l'Qfl lleetor IL great hero and so may we i11 Illlllllldllg these traits i11 l1i111 which lllllflt' l1i111 the gentlest and the hrztvest. XX'l111t Il worksliop tl111t great lieowulf had in the hleak north region XX'llll its rough seas and hlaek fens!

After these daring deeds lieownlf returned with his faithful thanes over DIRE the Sea and ruled over his kingdom fOT fifty peaceful years, But his battles were not yet ended, for l1e had to fight a harder battle still. ln his putting to death a sealy dragon which was tl1e scourge Of the land he was mortally wounded. Beowulf was the embodiment of all that tl1e Saxons admired: courtesy, loyalty, service, helpfulness and courage. ls it not true that these are also traits which have al- ways helped to 111ake 111e11 great and women lu-loved? Siegfried l1ad a dark forest region for his workshop. He did much i11 his youth -to set himself on the right traek. He was horn with great strength, a11d as l1e grew up he became eonseious of it. Zlllfl consequently haughty and overhearing. His parents grieved because Siegfried did sueh brutal deeds. and finally Siegfried, moved at the sight of his parents' grief, resolved that from that time his deeds should he those of a gentle knight. DO we 11ot recognize l1ere a line quality ill the boy Siegfried? After this resolution Siegfried's deeds were good and nohle, XYith l1is trusty sword, lilllllllllig, l1e overcame gia11ts a11d fire- lireathing dragons, and l'IlZ1flC many kings his vassals. He wo11 the lovely Cliriemhild for his wife after rescuing l1er ffillli a horrihle drzigon. Siegfried 111et l1is death at the l12'lIlClS of traitors who were jealous of his might: hut he has never heen forgotten Illlfl has hecome the hero of a great eyele of prose and song. In a neighhoring eountry of 1110L1l'ltU.lllS and grassy valleys Roland the Frank, armed with Sl1ll'llI'IQ'Zll'1llOl', fought in many Fierce battles. lint, alas! He 111et his death i11 a terrihle hat- tle XX'lill tl1e l'aynim hosts. tl1e Saraeens. How nohle flllfl yet pathetie is tl1e death of this great knigl1t of Cl'lZ1I'lt'lNZ'lQ,'IlC, as l1e lay on the soft greensward i11 tl1e midst of a narrow llltrlllllillll pass, praying to God for forgive- 11ess witl1 his last hreatl1. Roland showed tl'LlL' huniility, I1 trait which has to he sought for nowadays. Roland lilllj' well he called the greatest l1ero of France and even now we can lear11 111a11y things i1'Oli1 tl1e life of this nohle knight. Now we turn to King Arthur, a11 example of ideal ma11l1ood. .Xrthur's workshop lay in the heautiful mountains of Southwestern England, in Cornwall and Devon. Here, on the rocky coast rose tl1e hattlements of tl1e royal castle of Tintagil. liarther no-rth lay tl1e fairy-likg and gay city of Camelot. Here King Arthur instituted his Round Tahle, where each of his knights waited in readiness to go on Some 5
