(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Edgar G. Murphy was born on August 31, 1869, at Fort Smith, Arkansas, the son of Samuel W. Murphy and Janie Gardner.
Murphy was educated in the schools of San Antonio, Texas, at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and the General Theological Seminary, New York City, but took no degree.
Ordained deacon (1890) and priest (1893) in the Protestant Episcopal Church, for more than a decade Murphy served with distinction as rector of churches in San Antonio and Laredo, Texas, Chillicothe, Ohio, Kingston, New York, and Montgomery, Albama. The intensity of his devotion to the Kingdom of God as represented by his church is revealed in his books, Words for the Church (1897) and The Larger Life (1897).
In Montgomery, Murphy was instrumental in the founding of an Episcopal church for negroes. The erection and equipment of the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Association buildings, in the city were largely due to his initiative, and Andrew Carnegie's gift to Montgomery of the first public-library building in Alabama was made in response to Murphy's efforts. While in Montgomery he became vitally interested in the social problems of the new industrial era then rapidly opening in the South, and from this period the subjects of child-labor and popular education, and the race problem, largely dominated his life.
With the assistance of a strong local committee he organized a conference for the free discussion of the race problem and conditions in the South. This was held in Montgomery in 1900, with Hilary A. Herbert as the presiding officer and Murphy as secretary. While the conference was under the direction of Southern men, the speakers were representative of both races and of all sections of the country. Its spirit was one of notable fairness and candor, and the published proceedings aroused wide interest in both America and Europe.
Keenly sensitive to conditions in the textile industry, Murphy was responsible for the organization of the Alabama child-labor committee. Investigation disclosed that a number of Alabama cotton-mills were owned and controlled by Northern capitalists, whose influence had been effective in securing the repeal of laws enacted for the protection of women and children working in factories. Murphy thus realized that child-labor was not a local problem, and became the leading spirit in the organization of the National Child Labor Committee.
Convinced, however, of the need for an aroused and sustained public opinion, expressing itself in local rather than national legislation, he opposed the efforts of the committee to secure congressional action regulating child-labor. His open letter on national child-labor legislation to Senator Albert J. Beveridge was a brilliant defense of constitutional principles, later sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States. On account of differences on this issue between him and the majority of the National Child Labor Committee Murphy later resigned from it, but his interest in its work never abated.
Realizing that his best work could be done outside the official ministry of the church he withdrew from that ministry (1903), and became executive secretary of the Southern Education Board (1903 - 1908). The sincerity of his purposes, the clarity of his vision, and the statesmanlike quality of his thinking drew to him the leaders of the educational revival in his section and won for him an honored place among them. Besides editing the reports of several conferences on race problems and education in the South, and contributing to the Outlook, the North American Review, the Century Magazine, and other periodicals, he presented the results of his constructive thinking in two influential books, Problems of the Present South (1904) and The Basis of Ascendancy (1909). In the Outlook (July 5, 1913), he was described as "a leader not merely of Southern liberalism, but of national progress in social welfare, " and the statement was made that "no man in this generation has succeeded so well in interpreting the South to the rest of the country. "
He was compelled to give up active public work in 1908, but his physical sufferings in no way diminished the vigor of his intellect. Lying on his cot on the roof of his New York apartment he gave himself to the study of the heavens, and in 1912, under the pseudonym Kelvin McKready, published A Beginner's Star Book (quarto), which won favorable notices in scientific journals. He was engaged in preparing an unfinished volume on the subjects to which he had devoted his life, at the time of his death, June 23, 1913.
