^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

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.
