PRAISES AMERICANS.
China's Late Minister, WI Ting
Fang, Gives His Impressions.
Speaks In High Terms OF the Enter
prise and Adaptnbiaisy OF the
Average American and His
aA AccomplIshmen

Americans are known, in whatever
quarter of the world chance hap
pens to throw them, by their mar
velous self-reliance and independence.
A typical American is never at a
loss what to do with himself, writes
WI Ting Fang in Success. If, by
some enchantment he were whisked
away over night and set down in the
middle of Timbuctoo, he would,
doubtless, when he should awake the
next morning. be astonished, but be-
fore luncheon he would be busily en-
gagged in some business enterprise, so
readily does he adapt himself to cir
cumstances. In every instance he
knows how to take care of himself,
but perhaps the real secret of his
success is that he knows how to make
the most Of his opportunities.
An American student usually real
ICES that education is the stepping
stone to achievement. He studies
with the expectation of fitting him
self for the profession or occupation
he is ultimately to enter He makes
that he may be able to make the
most of himself in his chosen career.
All through his course of study this
idea is instilled into his mind, and
the consequence is that he leaves his
college or university well prepared to
enter upon life's activities, He is sure
of himself. | may also add that the
schools of the United States, both
public and collegiate, are the crown
ing glory of this young and great re-
public. No words can bestow upon
them too high praise. No estimate
can be put upon the good which they
are accomplishing in training young
women as well as young men for fu-
ture usefulness. Systematic educa-
ton is reaching it's highest form in
this country, It's results are so prac-
teal that the country cannot help
but advance.
The intelligence of the average
American is worthy of NOTE. This, I
take it, is due in large measure, not
only to the excellent schools, but
also to the innumerable newspapers
and other publications. I have found,
in all parts of the country, that in
every town of any size there is pub
lished a daily paper, and that the
publications circulate
in the homes of the most remote cor
ners of the land.
The abilities to seize his opportu-
mites, which is characteristic of the
American, is seen in the business en-
terprises of the country. It's indus
trial machinery is adjusted to the
production of it's wealth on a scale
of unprecedented magnitude. This
is a valuable condition. American
brains and American capital are
reaching out to control the markets
of the world, and, with good reason,
other nations are watching the eff
forts with keen interest. China is
but awakening to it's vast possibili-
ties, and more and more will she well
come the American merchant and
American commerce within her Dor
ders. American enterprise is now
building railway from Hankow to
Canton, and, no doubt, other roads
will soon be building China's rivers
and harbors are to be improved, and
there will be more and more demand
for American steel, rails and other
products.
