a very pious man, TO question the
scholars.
After asking several questions he
turned to one little fellow and asked
"Who was the father of Zebedee's chill

no reply, and the question was repeat
ed, but without result.

to the superintendent "Who is thai

Professor Edward A. Ross, of the
University Of Nebraska, uses the term
"the American breed to describe what
he calls a distinct type of mantle
restless, strenuous people so different
from the easy-going types Of Europe.
There are reasons why our immigrants
should become nervous and energetic
in one or two generations, but Profes-
sor Ross seems to think that the rest
lessnesS is not acquired here; but is
the reason why these types left Eu-
rope. America is, therefore, wedding
out the energetic folks from Europe
they are selected, venturesome natures
and constitute a type.

In considering the problem of man
ming the land the mistake is common
ly made of regarding the question as
matter Of hired men" entirely. That
is, we are asked to believe that the
land car be manned with agricultural
labOrers This is certainly mistake.
If the problem is to be solved 1t will be
by the creation of a class Of small, indie
pendent land owners who will do their
own work and not be dependent upon
hired labor. 1t becomes more and
more evident that the day Of the Amer
lean "hired man" Is gone. Farm labor
is not attractive to the young men Of
to-day. The tide flows from the farms
to the cities and there is no return
current. Except for a certain proper
ton Of European immigrants, there Is
little or no efflux into the rural dis
tricts. Nor is 1t at all strange that
this should be so. The farmer who
owns land is the most Independent man
in the world, but that cannot be said
of the hired man" who works for
$25 a month land found" Farm work
is hard, the hours are long and the
opportunities for advancement are
small When land was cheap the
farmland could, by industry and thrift,
acquire a farm Of his own, but at the
present prices of farming lands 1t
would take phenomenally shrewd and
saving farm laborer to become a land
owner. The man who depends upon
manual labor for his living can do bet
ter In the city than in the country.
1t Is to be remembered, too, that farm
work Is not always to be had all the
year round. During the harvest sea-
son there is a large demand for help.
but this demand is temporary and for
many months Of the year farm labor
ers-or hired men"-are In small de-
mand. This Is another reason why
They have a better chance for steady
employment in town. In short, the
farms are not to be manned by hired
labor. The solution Of the problem Is
to be found in the creation of a great
class of small. independent land own
ers who will do their own work. In
| France this class Is the backbone Of
| the nation. It will be the same in this
country when the American people real
lie that agriculture IS the freest, hap
! piest and most healthful occupation In
which man can engage

material nation. 1t Is good to turn
sharply and question this view. Prof.
Francis Peabody, the first professor
sent to the University of Berlin by
Harvard University, under the new pro-
vision for an exchange Of lectures,
showed his German audience that
Americans are idealists. THE very
cleyerness of the nation leaves II un-
satisfied with commercial gain" This
plain people with but meager traditions
Of art and philosophy are still blessed
with a rich inheritance OF conscience
Idealism is conduct in accordance with
beliefs, as against conduct In accord
ance with material advantage. The
corruption and materiallsm that exist
in this country are excresences upon a
national structure that was founded
in ideals and has been built upon The
great Americans have been moral Ideal
lists. Hard sense in Franklin and Lin
coin does not disguise a calm idealism.
Many political campaigns have been
contentious over principles Of almost
philosophical abstraction. The civil
war was fought for ideals. The south
crippled itself valiantly, not for profit
or sordid ambition, but for devotion to
principle. The north fought for no ma
terial advantage, but for an ideal Of
government. No spectacle in history
resembles that Of the once hostile sec
lions Of America stilf In frank
agreement about the issues contend
ed for, but each recognizing that
the other fought for beliefs. Near
~ all American men of letters
are teachers about life, ethical
idealists-as witness Franklin, Haw-
thorne, Emerson, Lowell, Whittier,
Longfellow, Thoreau. Whoever speaks
a moral idea, or rises as a sincere re-
former as the founder of a new ITO
pia, has many followers, so that our
country is full of ethical cults and
peaceful revolutionaries, each in pur-
suit of an ideal. America has thriven
not merely by natural resources" and
business energy, but also because the
people have been idealists.
