Our Congress the Most Interesting Body
of Men in the World.

Our Congress the Most Interesting Body
of Men in the World.
"The Congress of the United States
is the most interesting body of men in
the world. 1t comes nearer to being
representative body than any other
that ever existed. 1t is the microcosm
of the Republic, presenting in concen-
tration all the extraordinary peculi-
arities of the nation whose work it is
selected to perform It's average OF
ability is higher than that of any other
parliamentary body on earth. Each OF
its members represents a larger con-
stituency than is represented by any
single member of European parlia-
ment, and with very few exceptions
each member is a good representative
of the constituency for which he
stands. Those who sneer at Congress
and at Congressman sneer at the
voters who selected them. Luckily that
sort of thing is going out of fashion.
People are beginning to appreciate
Congress for what really is, and 1t
is getting better all the time.
There are very few members either
Of the House or of the Senate who are
not of native birth. To be exact, there
are just IL representatives and six
senator's. In the Fifty-siXth Congress,
curiously enough, one of the members
is Henderson. the speaker, who Is
Scotchman But he is as genuine an
American as there is in the land. Con
sidering the proportion OF foreign tC
native-b born in the United States, the
percentage is Insignificant, especially
when it is remembered that the aver
age member of Congress is one who
has been given to moving about the
world and shifting his environment
Out of 352 members of the present
House only 217 represent the states in
which they were born, and of this
number only few still live in the
Congressional district where they first
saw light. The average Congressman
is a hustler. He has been ambitious OF
else he would never have found his
present place. That he has been sue
cessful in some measures goes without
saying. and the fact that SO many OF
them have broken away from their
early surroundings. and have gained
new successes in new fields, simply
goes to show something of the energy
and force that have helped to make
the American Congress what it is."-

Principal Ray recommended change
in the policy of the colored department of
the institution, in the way of more in

being done in the white department, and
it is probable that new features of work
will be added. Among these will be the
technical training of deaf and dumb me-

Of dress making and needle work 1t is
also probable that wood working de-

dumb boys, who have heretofore done
garden work. There is already establish

the establishing of broom mattress and
