large space I'm the affairs of England are
Irishmen. II Trustee Heating should de-
sire the pupils of the schools of Chicago to
know something of that illustrious Irish
man. the Duke of Wellington, such infor-
nation would connect him with British
achievements for a third of a century.
If the intense Americanism OF Trustee
Heating. who is president of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in Chicago. should
lead him to insist that only American his
tory shall be taught in the schools of that
city, he would find it impossible to elm
mate all allusion TO the British without
being compelled to run his blue pencil
through whole chapters of essential Amer
lean history. This would be the case be-
cause the achievements and the experience
of any one nation must be closely related
TO those of the nations with which they
come In contact. Any elaborate history of
the American Revolution must present the
conditions in England during that period.
If we should begin an American history
so far as IL related to New England we
must show that Governor Bradford, an
Englishman, laid the foundation OF free
government in this country. Indeed. an
early history of Indiana must deal with the
British. George Rogers Clark and Will
liam Henry Harrison would be deprived Of
part of their fame If no English history
should get into our local histories.
Trustee Heating has derived some noto-
riety by being able to induce the board to
which he belongs to drop all English his
tory from the schools of Chicago, but If he
carries out his scheme to a logical conclu-
sion the young people of the great metropo-
lis of the West will have little knowledge
of the worlds progress.

An article in the Sunday Journal con-
tanned Information regarding the extent
and resources of the Dominion Of Canada
that will surprise most people. The facts
stated are not new, but they are of a kind
that are not exploited much in this coun-
try. Americans are so absorbed in the
greatness and possibilities of their own
country that they have not much time to
consider those of others. Therefore 1t will
surprise most people to learn that the area
of Canada is 5000 square miles larger thar
that of the United States and Territories,
including Alaska; that it contains extern
sive deposits of every known mineral, in
GLIDING inexhaustible supplies of coal and
iron: that its wheat-growing belt is proba-
bly, the most extensive and productive in
the world, and that its other resources are
on a similar scale. 1t is estimated that the
country would support 1000. 0 5000 people,
considerably more than ten times the pres
ent population of the United States.
1t should be the policy of the United
States to cultivate friendly and profitable
commercial relations with this great
neighbor on the north. 1t is probable the
United States will always maintain its
present great lead over Canada, yet the
latter is a country of great possibilities.
There has always been more or less of a
latent feeling that eventually 1t would be-
come a part of the United States, either by
gravitation, annexation. conquest or volun-
tary action of the people. This feeling has
not been strong, but it has existed. 1t found
expression in a foolish resolution regard
ing the Monroe doctrine in the st. Louis
platform of 1896 which said: 1--WE hope
drawal of the European powers from this
hemisphere, and to the ultimate union of
all the English-speaking part of the con-
tinent by the free consent of it's inhabi-
tants." That is q pleasant enough dream
to indulge. but a great political party
should not put dreams in a declaration of
principles. Canada was never as loyal to
the mother country and government as she
is to-day, and never with better reason.
The time may come in the distant future
when, having outgrown colonial limita-
tons, the development of national individu-
atty and the law of national growth will
lead her to seek independence, but in that
event she will probably become a separate
nation, rather than a part of the United
States. Recent events, however. indicate
that such a possibility is very remote.
Meanwhile the interests of both countries
require that the United States and Cana
da should be good n~eighbors and cultivate
as friendly relations as possible.
