ward Howard Griggs, A. NJ, is
recommended as the lecturer. Mrs.
L. M. Haines has been reelected
President of the movement, and
Miss Katherine Budd appointed to
canvass for subscriptions. If ar
rangements are completed the
course will begin the middle of
January next.
Wouldn't it be profitable to
switch off from the study of Shakes
peare and the English poets and
have course of lectures on the
distinction between the mOnarchical
system of European governments
and that of the newer American
system of republican government
The influence each has on the
morals, manhood and religious
thought of the people is very great,
and it is course of study that
Americans are very poorly enlight-
ened on. The Spanish boast of
being a poetic and refined people,
but they are a mighty poor type of
humanity because they lack the
more substantial elements that are
necessary to advance the race.
They have ornament in abundance,
but lack the substantial. Blending
the two formed the New England
type.
