why cav him to live a purely ami

of sensations and ambitions?
Give him a hand. He is a human
being as YOU. You had a chance.
He had none. He has his feelings,
but his brain sleeps. Awake it up.
His heart in the old country started
crying and finished hating. All who
suffer injustice do that.
When he landed his heart was full
OF love and hopes. Keep him smiling.

Reasoning I would propose as a

Compel the school teachers to ex-
pose the history of the world, without
limpressing the youngsters mind with
horrors.

beings as such, without any regard TO
ace nationality or creed.
Let them to form opinion, when
their brain can work for itself.
Include in the school curriculum a
study of the accomplishments and
great things done by every race.
Teach them not to compare a Ro-
man palace. that 1000 years ago cost
say the equivalent of a million dol
lars. with the Woolworth building
that cost twelve millions in 1914.
The average American boy and
millions of grownups today judge of
things by their cost value. A million
dollar building in Broadway, of
course, is much better than a $780,
600 in Paris or elsewhere. The best
learned Americans know this not to
be the fact. Teach them to distin-
guish between art and size.
Teach them the fact hat in Europe
prior to the wal o laborer was earn
ing three francs a day and al the
same time the same laborer sould
earn more than double over here, but
teach them to realize that in normal
time the cost of living for the masses
could not be compared. Perhaps they
will ask. Why then the Europeans
come here? The answer is this: They
come because work is scarce. The
countries are either overcrowded or
poor or both.
part that every race and every coun
try had in the building up of the
world and also in the phenomenal
progress of this country.
Teach the little ones not to call the
foreigners bad names, lot only in or
der to teach them to love their fell
lowmen, but also because they may
be insulting a man of the very same
blood that fills up their veins. Names
mean nothing. Once upon a time a
man changing land could change his
name without anybody's consent.
More or less this can be done today
and is actually done according to lots
of newspaper men and stories. Teach
them all that, but for heaven sake,
teach them to hate arlstocracy and
crowns as much as o teach them to
hate crime.
When they grow up, keep the same
teachings in college, in factory, in
Office, in papers. in magazines and
books of all kinds. give them lectures
and conferences illustrating the same
subjects and keep the hating stuff
against the kings and ~aristocrats. IL
then they call a foreigner bad names.

will o o stop kidding.
ON the other hand, il o go ahead

things once. If you don't do them
