WHAT GENERAL GRANT SAYS ABOUT IT.
THE following Il ...ne text OF General
Grants reply to t1dmiral Ammen's letter
asking him to.cotperate in an American ca
nal project. ''1'>s'
TOXIC. JAPAN, August 7, 1s79.-My Dear
Admiral: Your letter OF the 3D. OF July reach
ed me few days since. After two days
.refe utiongon your suggestion OF the part-i
should take-or consent 10 take, IL offered
in the matter OF the iDter.oceanic canal pia
Nicaragua, telegraphed to the Secretary
OF the Navy: "Tell Ammen approve
Grant" I hope you received the dis
patch. On the 9th, two weeks after
| this leaves Yokohama, we sail for San
Francisco. do not feel hall as aDX-
ious to get home as I did eighteen
months ago. There Is no country which
have visited, however, this side OF Europe
except Japan where would care to stay
longer than to see the points OF greatest In
terest. But Japan is most interesting
country, and the people are quite as much
so. The changes that have taken place here
are more like q dream than reality. They
have public-school system extending over
the entire empire and a(fordlng facilities for
n common school education to every child,
male and female. They have military
anu HifaI aI'tutHly "hi~H S'''i'' L Won
with ours in the course taught, the
discipline, and the at!ainments Of the
studcn's. They have colleges at sew
cral places in the empire on tie same basis
OF instruction as our best institutions.
They have q school OF science which | do
not believe can be Surpa- sed in any coun-
try. Already the great majority of their
professors-ey those en- gagged in teaching
European langua@es-are natives, most CT
them educated in the very institutions
where they are now teaching.
But hope to meet you soon. and then
will say more on this subject than | caro- 10
write in the limit OF letter.
Mrs. Grant sends her I've to Mrs. AM
men and the children. Please remember
me kindly also. Yours truly.
