asked them both to come again
and let him be their guide but
the Herr replied: why would 1
want to go over again? 1t is a
noisy, dirty, hopelessly material
istic country. You have sky
scrapers but no beauty, money
but no ideals. You have dispatch
but no courtesy, fine clothes, but
no style, churches but no rellg-
ion, universities, but no learning.
/ have been there three times.
That's enough; / know all about
| it."
The following spring they
came, they saw and they were
partly conquered, for the only
admission the Herr Director
would make was, almost thou
persuadest me-" The doctor
showed them the wonders OF
America, both God and man
made. The skyscrapers, Mia
CARA, Chicago, Salt Lake temple,
irrigation, southern California,
the Grand Canyon and last the
home life in a quiet college town.
To my mind there is nothing
more impressive than the ear
nestness which pervades a col
lege town, especially when ting
ed with denominationalism. One
cannot even spend a few months
in Oberlin, Ohio, without being
filled with that spirit that in
spired Longfellow to write the
Psalm of Life: Life is real, life
is earnest and the grave is not
its goal"
A few passages in the book in
yite comment. The party visit
ed a great coal mining center In
Pennsylvania where all Slavs
were employed as miners and
their situation is pitiable in the
extreme and here Uncle Sam is
shamelessly and criminally neg
ligent in not even trying to make
American citizens out Of these
Russians. Their spiritual well
fare is looked after by a Greek
Catholic priest who hates Amer
lea, who drills them in the relig-
ion, language and customs of the
mother country.
The Herr Director condemned
the practice and said in Germany
they call that treason. Here in
Kennewick in plain unadulterat-
ed English, we call it raising
the children up in the nurture
and admonition" of the Kaiser.
In connection with these slavs
the Doctor presents a thought
that is a gem. "The American
has great reverenve for results
and it is hard for him to be pa
tient with failure. The German
respects authority and has scant
respect for the individual. The
Russian respects man and knows
what it is to love him for his
weakness and to be humble in
the presence Of another's fail
ure."
