More Valuable to Acquire Than Any
Other Continental Tongue.
When every progressive young Ger
man is doing his utmost to acquire a
thorough knowledge of some other Ian
guage than his own it seems a waste
of time for the Englishman to learn
German with an idea to making
money. Instead, he should learn Rus
sian. Russian is not the official Ian
guage, but the actual medium Of COM
munication throughout an empire unat
extends from the Baltic to the Yellow
sea. Years ago on the Moscow ex-
change one might transact business as
rapidly in German as in Russian; now
the native merchants, even those who
know German, require some special
inducement to speak it, and in the bur-
ry of business turn aside impatiently
from any one who addresses them in
any other tongue than that they them
selves habitually use. In the near fu-
ture a knowledge of Russian will be
worth more to the mere commercial
than any two continental languages,
for Russia is making gigantic strides
in all industries, says Pearson's Week
1y. AS recent visitor aptly describes
it, Russia is a new America" To a
young man who adds to a knowledge
of Russian practical experience in any
staple industry, Russia offers a prom

edge is not enough; this is taught, and

some hundreds of efficient "techno-
logs" every year. Practical work in

chemical industries is not so readily
obtainable in Russia, and capable

at a wage double or treble thai he
would receive at home.
