Below ii there exists a muddy mass OF

In America. as l have said already,
refinement in customs, both in individu-
ais and in classes, does not reach such
height as it does in Europe. but it
spreads out nconparahly further. 1t is
more universal. That is what consti-
tutes democracy in America.
In America civilization is far more
widespread than in Europe, although ii
does not reach the same height of deyel-
opmcnt. 1t promotes the happiness OF
greater number of people in America
than in Europe, and therefore it is a
better civilization.

first of the so-called Anglo-Swe,lish
plays which emanated from the brain
of that talented author-actor Gus Heege

reign of success. The Swedish charac-
ter is not burlesQued in the play but is
treated in legitimate manner and is
offered as distinct comedy character

aim Of the school is not so much learn
ing as enlightenment. There are higher
colleges, but public attention is prin-
cipally directed to the elementary
schools, in which the whole nation
studies Therefore, one may saw that
learning is lower in the United States
than IN Europe, hIt enlightenment and
education are Il great deal higher. 1t
should be added that the bounds of clc-
mentary education are much wider here
than i'll Europe. The elementary school
does not only teach how to
read and write. but every
American learns there Il Ger
tain amount of mathematics, geography,
natural science and political economy.
The further care of his education is lett
to newspapers and social experience.
There is in America no such ignorant
man as the European peasant Here
with any farmer or workman one can
talk about different forms of govern
n.ent, about foreign politics, about diff
ferent kinds Of money. and about every
thing except art and literature. He has
read about all these things in the news
papers ard has heard thousands of
speeches, Republican and Democratic,
In which they have been explained to
him from every point Of view His
views will not be deep. but he will never
show an absolute ignorance.
Elementary education is almost cXclu-
sively in womun's hands. This tends
toward the softening Of the naturally
rough American manners A man

influences as a refined and we'll bred
woman, whose presence checks the vio-
lence of the half savage boys. This is
all the moro effective by reason of the
great respect which is paid to women
here. In fact. as far as her influence or

United States. | was sure myself that
would find a great quantity of female

The few women in the professions in
