"A GENTLEMAN."

LONDON, Aug. 27.— The great educationalist, Dr. H. A. L. Fisher, president of the Board of Education, defined the word "gentleman" at the British Association meeting to-day as signifying men who are "intellectual, modest, hosyrtab'.e, aud of open mind, with the gift of self -measurement and self-criticism, possessing innate consideration tor others, a sense of perspective, and powers of rising above pettiness', and of preserving equanimity when smaller minds are unquiet^ fussy, and self-c6nsci£us." Dr. Fisher said that these "qWlities naturally flourished when young impressionable minds were brought into contact -with the sublime masterpieces of Kterature and tho great truths ; of science".
