Series of Articles Contributed by Advanced Thinkers._ CITIZENS UF THc '*W?RL& ^distinguished member of congress, &xr exploring party of that body was a long visit to the Pacific coast, an oracle on the comfortable of a Puget sound hotel which is worth remembering, duties of the committee had re? that the members should pass np *eoast?" as the natives call it, from kant Jane," or Tia Juana, as'the western corner of this nation is as far north as Vancouver sound, had discharged this duty, and had discharged it well, when the was delivered. In the afternoon of a breeze which had passed OOO miles across the ocea?, with a not yet exhausted, which was good ;h for its purpose, the senator said an the first opportunity when he expect success he would introduce it resolution into congress provid tt?at each member, as soon as he {selected, should be sent on a well journey through all the states all the territories, that he might personal knowledge of what the, itry is whose service he was to have I?CDCL senator expressed the belie?, Each is certainly well founded, that nation would save in money and gain in administration if such a could be carried out > was certainly right in this opinion, this is no matter of-pleasantry or of i affairs of a single nation. Mr. Mor - said very wisely in his Phi" Beta address last month: "The new must, from its very nature, be? nni versal The manufacture of has given the means of traversing the entire globe with a speed which Effings all races together. It will gradu substitate the natural boundaries \ cen ven ?v t government for accidental divisions. It will finally make ? human race 9 single whole, working c things which we cannot yet under? stand." fWe cite these opinions of two distin Imen because the excellent coun tbey involve is applicable to the business of education and. is in our systems of education, and private, as those: who man - them are too apt to forget : The whole tendency of life in on.? requires not simply a national '"but cosmopolitan direction of education., are really citizens of the world as they never have been before, the boy or girl who is educated the old and now absurd notion it the vii] age where the schoolhouse is the capital of the world is destined receive many shocks ard to make blunders, ali of which might have avoided. The jobbing merchants have found out, and they know that; they must id their young men over the whole ntry if they would know thp needs diffeient localities and be able to pro? le for them. Adam Smith taught that land created supply. We have learned it a supply, well provided, creates in a new demand. The enterprise rhich has sent these bold drummers, pioneers of civilization as they have m called, into other countries, that traveler may know what those na want and that the nations may what the country has to sell,, has well rewarded. The steady ia? in oar exports of manufactured shows that the nation is reaping reward of such enterprise. But if our young men, not to say our w?men, are to take on a cosmo itan habit in education, our schools inst do more in this line than they ce toda I can remember when the ivaTcf a boy fresh from Paris, with . good French accent and an easy way of ting that language, was a cause of terror in a well appointed schcol. That shall wc clo about his marks? It will not be fair to mark him. cn the je scale with the other boys. As if giving cf marks was the whole busi? ness of a schoolmaster. ^? Really, the arrival of such^.a boy might haye been made a blessing to all the other boys in schcol. They would ihave learned more French from him, under any sensible handling of the case, than they would have learned from any primer or reading book. How the opportunities for such education in our country are endless. Fortunately for us, there is hardly a public school in ene of the larger cities iii which the ability cf seme of the children to speak . German, French cr Italian might not be utilized for the conversational habits of the others. " An American banker who had gone through the svhole course of our higher public education used to say that .when he went to Paris he found that the French were so stupid that they did not understand their own language. This was a good natured tSPthc? cf criticising the training he had received in that language. Kow ene bey from Paris, frem Bordeaux or Lyons, in the <cla*x in which he was, would have given him just the ha ?.it of listening to real French and tho habit of imitating a speaker cf real French, which was what ho had not had given to him in the elaborate arrangements cf ichool committees. It is too ranch to ask, as. the United States senator asked, that .?ll our schcol children of the proper age may be sent round the worlfc It is a good thing for those of them who are so sent when they are between the ages of 16 and five and twenty. They gain the advan? tages which, under the old wander jahr, the German apprentice, released, from his first training, received as he law men and cities which were new to him. But if we cannot send cur chil dem ronnel the world, we can at least see that they are made familiar with the habits of thought, not to say the habits of work, of other countries. It is from this point of view that one learns to welcome with special interest the arrival of students in our better equipped scientific schools and colleges from the other nations of tho world. The presence of an accomplished young gentleman from Germany or Italy or Japan opens the eyes of the youngsters who surround him in the classes of such institutions. They begin to learn, what it is so hard to teach boys, the mysteri? ous lesson which had been alluded to above; they learn that Cranberry Cen? ter, although it is an important metrop? olis to itself, is not so considered by the rest of mankind. As the United States senator said, it will be a great thing when the average congressman can he taught what are the resources cf Arizona, of the state of Washington, of Maine and of Florida, in an object lesson which shall fix itself upon his memory as no misty cloud of statistics will ever do. The college stu? dent or the college class which should be trained ? rightly to understand the place of the Argentine Republic, the place of Japan, the place of Ceylon or the place of Hungary in the commerce of the world, how much and how little each of these countries has to do with the balance of trade or with the course of exchange, would be, as things go, an exceptional class or an exceptional stu? dent in our institutions of eine a ti cn. The intelligent president of a college or the intelligent head of a high school ought to be on the lookout for every op? portunity of which he can avail himself to introduce such cosmopolitan habits of study into school or college, i EDWARD E. HALE. A FARMER ON THE SINGLE TAX. I am only a Kansas farmer and not used to writing for the papers, but I no? ticed in one of your late numbers an ar? ticle by Clarence A. Miller advocating that all taxes should be. paid by the own? ers of the land and that all money and other personal property go free from taxation. TJhese men who wish to put all the burden of taxation on the al I ready overburdened farmer are men, as a rule, who own no land and who know nothing about farming. The farmer al? ready pays the great bulk of the taxes, and if all the money and houses and machinery and factories and railways of the rich are to go untaxed and the ad? ditional burden be laid upon the farmer, then I for one want to leave this coun? try. Mr. Miller's argnment is that if land were taxed so heavily that the owner could not pay the taxes he would be obliged to sell part of it, and thus j there would be more farmers. If he or any other of the single tax theorists knew anything about the condition of the American farmer, he would know that the great trouble now is that there are already too many farmers in the United States. We are overproducing in nearly every department of the farm. Wheat and cern are drugs m the market and are.selling fer less than the cost of production. 2so farmer can today sell a j horse, or a cow, cr a hog for anything | j like the amount that the animal has j ? cost him. If all the farmers in the Un- j ion would agree to raise just one-half of the wheat, cern, hogs, cattle and horses they have raised in years past, they would get some return for their work, but at the present prices and at the present rate of production the farmers, who are now nearly bankrupt, must soon go to the wall. The solution of the present trouble is not m compelling the farmers to pay the taxes of the millionaires and the other rich men, nor to ask them to sub? mit to taxation that will compel them to sell part of their farm at a low price to some single tax theorist Anarchists, socialists, agitators and advocates of new and unjust theories have, by their threats of bloodshed, revolution and appropriating the property of others, so frightened the owners of capital that many hundreds of millions of dollars are now lying idle in the banks all over the United States. Had it not been for these threats, much of this now idle money would have been put into fac? tories that would today be giving em? ployment to the idle throngs that are suffering from the lawless methods of these unprincipled men. Let factories be built to make the ar? tides we now import in large quanti? ties. These would give work to the un? employed, who would then be able to buy the "wheat, com and bacon That the j farmers cannot now sell unless at ruin? ous prices. J. W. HENRY.
