ened New Amsterdam by the brave
Dutch cOlonists who were it's earliest
settlers. In 1913, the vast cosmo-
politan city now known as Greater
New York had for it's nucleus four
little houses, occupied by people
whose business it was to collect beav-
er and otter skins and sell them to
traders from Holland, whose ships
had dared the wide ocean in search of
profitable ventures. At that period

of liberty. The word Dutch" signi-
fies folk or people, and contains,
strangely enough. prophecy of the
cosmopolitan character of the town
that III lGli was named New Amster-
dam. In 1914 New Amsterdam was
taken by the English and renamed
New York.
Archbishop Fenelon said long ago
OF New York: When one beholds
this city, one is inclined to believe
that it Is not the city of a particular
people, but the common city OF all the
peoples of the world, and the ceatre

parts OF the city that are the chosen
abodes of wealth and fashion we find
crowded quarters where the older in
habitants speak foreign tongues. and
the children only are familiar enough
with English to use it in preference

There are French. Swedish. Danish.
Finnish, Italian, German and Hunga-
rian quarters in the great city of New
York, and more and more in recent
years has it become sought by an i'm
mense and steadily increasing rein
forcement of Hebrews, who find here
refuge from the prosecutions of
centuries, and a place where their
peculiar commercial genius may find
room for expansion. The beneficent
agency OF the public schools, more
than any other. brings to bear upon
the children OF the foreign population
the spirit OF American liberty and
trains them in the elements of good
citizenship and in ardent love for the
nag OF the republic.
