''As yet, however, the people lack
unity They are not bound together
by any national feeling of patriotism.
This is the reason that the mob few is
able to act without fear of national
uprising in opposition. There is still
too much of the old spirit of every
man for himself and the devil take the
hindmost. The country is not sufficient
ly opened up, and it is with the end
in view of overcoming this that Legula
and others are working now. The gov
eminent is sending young men to be
educated in not only the United States
but also in all the leading countries of
Europe, the idea being for these to
bring home the best features Of the
different nations. When they return,
they are given positions where they
can be of help to the greatest number
of people in the greatest possible man
ner. For instance, young man IS
sent to the United States to study
scientific agriculture. When he returns
he is put at the head of school, or
