This story is one of the most popular of all the “Picaresque Romances,” of which “Don Quixote” is the immortal type, and is so Spanish in tone and treatment, in its wit, humor, character and general flavor, that the suspicion was aroused soon after its publication that the French author had used a Spanish manusecript. much about ‘Gil Blas” _that naturally leads the investigator to Yook with suspi- cion ugon Le Sage. Although Le Sage has contributed a great deal to literature the English readers know him best by his stories of Spanish life, over which jt is said that he worked more than . twenty years. There has been a long and bitter con- troversy over it. Most literary critles are inclined to disprove any indebtedness on his part to Spanish literature. . They feel that they have convinced themselves that while the central idea of ‘Gil Blas" is Spanish, and is often the case in his work,..the development is his own. Undoubtedly Le Sage borrowed largely from the romance of Espinal called ‘Vide del Escudero Merces re Obregon,” which appeared in 1618. From this work he has taken his prologue, the adventure of the parasite, the dispersion of the camp ‘of Cacabelos by the multeer, the instance of therobbers’ cave, the surprise of the Cor- sairs, the contributions levied by Don Raphael and Ambrose, the character of Sangrado, and even the reply of Don Matthias de Silva, who when asked to fight a duel early in the morning, replied: ‘William B Owen, the new president of the National Education association, has had a léng and varied experience in the field of education. Thirty-five years ago he bezan his career as an instructor in the Western: Pennsylvania Classical and Sicentific institute. = From 1892 until 1909 he was associated with the University of Chicago as feilow, tutor, instructor, as- sistant professor and associate professor of Greek, and from 1905 until 1909 as associate professor of education. During a part of the same period he served as principal and dean of the University of Chicago secondary schools. Since 1309 he has been president of the Chicago Neor- mal school. - In addition to his other work he is extensively known as an editor of educational publications. r. Owen is a native of Ohlo.
