ternational cultures of Europe. Lii
braries contain a very limited liter
allure about them compared to that
on English countries, and works are
not studied like WorsaaPs "Danes
and Norwegians in England, Scot
land and Ireland" and Faust's late
classic work in two volumes, "The
German-Element in the United
States" What is needed at
present is more literature, es-
pecially in our daily and weekly
press all languages, about the land,
people and culture Of European ma
tons that the American popular i'm
migrant impression Of them may be
corrected. We must begin as We
have said, with the farmers, who to
educate public opinion, often under
stands foreign nations better than
many learned public leaders.
In harmony then with our general
remarks on the Importance Of edu-
eating the Scandinavian youth and
the American public on the import
ance of the Scandinavian culture
and languages, and their peculiar
fitness for world influence in the
north, we offer the following. The
theme is worthy Of more considera-
ton in detail.
Many so admire the Scandinavia
Of the past and it's old sagas and
folklore that it never occurs to
them to take world outlook into
the immediate present or the distant
future of this old Teutonic classic
land. This seems rather strange
since Americans have keen eye fol-
industrial, commercial and real-es-
tate prospects. The reason is, nc
doubt, that only in recent years has
attention been called to the rich
timber, mineral and "white coal" re-
sources Of this limitless northern
land areas. People, nations anC
cults change; mountains, lakes anc
seas remain the same. It is this un.
changing old Scandinavia in its true
relations to these new changing
world conditions that is becoming sc
interesting.

$4,000 for state Fair.

Senator Williams bill appropriating
$4,000 for the Arkansas State FAIR
was passed by the senate by vote
of 20 to 5, without discussion except
by Senator Williams, who explained
the need of the appropriation if the
fair would be kept up to the high
standard aimed at. The promoters
of the fair have as yet been unable
to declare a dividend, but each year
sees the fair larger and better, and
1t is believed that should the legisla-
ture make the appropriation it will
be only very short time until the
Arkansas State Fair will eclipse any
similar enterprise in the South. 1t
is customary in majority of the
states for the general assembly to
foster such enterprises, which are
statewide in their scope, and the re-
sultant good to the states is incalcu-
liable.
