AND THE
Gaelic Revival
vy rsfjfsjjtrt
WVWiVVi -
I
revival of a dead language Is
usually no mean task Those
who are seeking to revitalize the
ancient Gaelic tonguei believe
that it Is not yet so dead as to make
this an lmpossibility The arrival in
America of Dr Douglas Hyde the
leading exponent of the movement has
attracted special attention to Its aims
Much has already been accomplished in
this direction through the enthusiasm
of Dr Hyde and the work of the organ
izations -which have come ino exist
ence partly as a result of his ecertions
Dr Hyde is the son of a Protestant
clergyman the Rev Arthur Hyde and
he himself has studied theology but in
stead of preaching the gospel has de
voted himself to literature and scholar
ship and to the work of convincing tho
Irish people and those In other coun
tries of Irish descent of the value of
the tongue In which their forefathers
spoke
Dr Hyde was educated at Trinity
college Dublin where in 1884 he took
the degree of bachelor of arts after an
exceptionally brilliant undergraduate
career and where he has since taken
additional degrees Although he won
honors in German French and Italian
it was the Celtic language which most
attracted him and on graduation in
stead of making the tour of the conti
nent usually taken by young men of
his social position he traveled exten
sively in his native province making a
study of the ancient Irish tales songs
and folklore of Connaught In this way
he was drawn into relations of inti
macy with the Irish peasantry and
came to realize more than ever before
the qualities for the expression of emo
tion and tenderness possessed by the
language of the past In 18S9 he pub
lished a book of tales in the ancient
tongue entitled Leabhar Sgeuluighe
achta The praise this received from
students of the
Gaelic language en
couraged him to write Beside the
Fire Folklore of the Irish Celts The
Love Songs of Connaught Story of
Early Irish Literature Mediaeval
Tales From the Irish and other works
Some of these books have gone through

DR DOUGLAS HYDE
several editions In order to encourage
the use of the old language of Ireland
in botb writing and speaking he has
written dramas In Gaelic and taken
parts in them himself when presented
on the stage Personally he is recog
nized as a man of great versatility of
talent for he is poet playwright critic
actor divinity student orator journal
ist historian linguist translator pro
fessor archaeologist lecturer and folk
lorist
Dr Hyde is making a tour of th
United States and speaking in colleges
and before learned societies of various
kinds Owing in large degree to his
efforts the movement for the revival of
the Gaelic language in Ireland now
shows some surprising results There
are two main groups of the Celtic
tongue the Cymric represented by the
Celtic speech of Wales and Brittany
and the Gaelic formerly more widely
spoken but now represented by the
Celtic speech of Ireland Scotland and
the Isle of Man Scotland with a
population of 4000000 has not in the
mainland or adjacent islands more
than 300000 persons who sneak or un
derstand Gaelic In Ireland when the
census of 1900 was taken it was found
that out of a population of about 4500-
000 not more than 700000 could speak
Gaelic This was a decline of 10000
In ten years The decline was due hi
part to the large emigration from the
western province the last foothold of
the Gaelic In Ireland Since then tho
current has turned A few years ag
most of those who spoke Gaelic in Ire
land could neither read it nor write it
The system of education ignored it and
parents anxious that their children
should get on In the world banished
it from their homes The Gaelic
league of which Dr Hyde was the
first president has done much to
change these conditions It employs
traveling teachers and in many ways
encourages the use of the ancient lan
guage both in conversation and litera
ture Interest in the movement has ex
tended to the United State3 and even
to South America The number of
schools In which the Gaelic language
is taught has advanced from 105 in
1899 to over 3000 in 1905 and those
who can read speak and write Gaelic
Is thus constantly increasing

One of the surprises of the Novem

that of William Travers Jerome In
New York for Moran not only ran as
an independent but was opposed by
Michael J Sughrue a candidate who
had been nominated by both the Re

had any Idea that Moran was going to

and the newspapers not only gave him
no support but paid only slight atten

treated it seriously yet Mr Moran de
feated Mr Sughrue by over 4000 votes
He was counsel for Thomas W Law

Boston and like Lawson he adopted
the plan of buying advertising space

for his meetings and mortgaged a life
