MATTEAWAN ASYLUM, JUDGE SAYS

business end of the annual in very
successful manner.
p. G. Norberg, editor of "Varia" and
Var attande Dag" magazines in
Gothenberg, Sweden, has been Wis
itor at the commencement exercises
at Augustana college. Mr.. Norberg is
making tour of America, studying
the condition of his countrymen in
this country. A movement is on foot
in Sweden, he said, to keep the people
of Sweden from immigrajing to the
United States. The object of Mr.. Nor
berg's visit is to find out the real con-
dition of the Swedish people in Amer
lea and ascertain what the attractions
are that bring them here.
Are Better Here.
Il intend to publish my observations
when I return to Gothenberg," said Mr.
Norberg, last night. 81 am afraid, how
| ever, that the results of my investiga-
tions will not have q tendency to keep
any of my countrymen at home, but
rather encourage immigration. Thus
| far, my impressions of America are
| only good. and l cannot help but adj
NIT that the condition of the Swedish
people is better here than in Sweden,
especially in the country districts.
Farming in America offers wonderful
advantages TO the Swedish immigrant
which he can never hope to realize in
the comparatively small country OF
Sweden where land is scarce. | am
not so favorably impressed with the
conditions l find in the cities"
Mr.. Norberg wa loud in his praises
Of Augustana. He liked especially the
free and easy spirit that breathed
about the institution in contrast will
the more restrained and formal atmos
phere that pervades the Swedish uni
lyersties. Mr.. Norberg spent the weel
as the guest of DR.. Andreen.- He lef
last night for Colorado.
