\nDuring the period
\n1884 to 1922 it came out as The Statesman &
\nFriend of India.<\/i> Since 1923 the title has ap-
\npeared as "The Statesman –<\/i> (incorporating
\nand directly descended from the Friend of India, <\/i> founded in 1818)". The editor of the
\npaper in 1907-08 was S. K. Ratcliffe. The
\npaper naturally did not support the national-
\nist movement, but after 1947 its editorial
\npolicy has been a reasonably balanced one in
\nmatters of national importance. (Cal. Lib.;<\/font><\/p>\n

\nStone Age<\/b> the name for that stage in
\nman’s development when all of his tools, implements, and weapons were made of
\nstone, bone, antler, ivory, and wood. It does
\nnot have chronological significance since all
\npeoples in all parts of the world did not pass
\nthrough it at the same time. Sir John Lub-
\nbock in his book Pre-historic Times<\/i> (1865), described the three divisions of prehistory as
\nthe Iron, Bronze, and Stone ages. The Stone
\nAge was much longer than the other two
\ncombined, so he further divided it into two
\nmain periods, the Paleolithic or "Old Stone"
\nage and the Neolithic or "New Stone" age.
\nLubbock’s classification has found wide
\nacceptance. (Enc. Am.)

\nTilak, (Lokamanya) Bal Gangadhar<\/b> (1856-
\n1920), Indian scholar, mathematician, philosopher, and militant nationalist who
\nhelped to lay the foundation of India’s
\nindependence. His implacable hostility to
\nBritish domination led to long periods of
\nimprisonment in British jails. He edited two
\njournals named Maratha<\/i> (English) and
\nKesari<\/i> (Marathi). His monumental works,
\nGita-Rahasya, Orion, <\/i> and The Arctic Home in the Vedas, <\/i> have won worldwide recogni-
\ntion. "Lokamanya", meaning "respected
\nby the people", is an epithet that he earned
\nfrom the people. Sri Aurobindo and Tilak

\nassociated as leaders of the Indian national
\nmovement until 1908, during which year both
