ABREAST OF THE TIMES.

There are 21,664 newspapers and
periodicals in the United States now
as compared with 1915 in 1894. and
the number continues to grow, Hall
of all the paper produced in the WORLD
is used in this country, though we
have but one-fifteenth of the worlds
population To read even an infini-
tesimal part of the current literature
that especially appeals to one is a
strain, Careful reading of one or two
newspapers will occupy an entire eve
ming. To peruse the entire contents
of one of the largest five-cent week
lies would take four or five evenings
To keep abreast of the times-to
make oneself familiar with the latest
developments in literature. art thu
drama, science, politics and the other
fields in which wideawake persons are
intereste eds well nigh impossible
The average person does not have the
time, The best thar can be done is to
read a newspaper or two with reason
able care, skim the cream of a few
magazines, and at infrequent intervals
peruse book.
This condition has made it possible
for some girls associated with the
University of Chicago to establish a
business which promises to be profit
able as well as pleasant, since it fills
a long-felt want. They read the most
important publications and interview
the college professors, and then issue
brief weekly review Of the world of
literature, art, drama, music and pol
tiles for the benefit principally of So
ciety women. Their clients thus for
titled. can discuss these subjects much
more intelligently, at their dinners
and club meetings. than if they did
not have this service.
A good rule is to try to know some
thing about everything. ana every
thing about something. OF course it
entails struggle But to have widely
diversified knowledge, however scam
ty, makes life more interesting: while
the possession of sufficient informa
ton on any subject to make one an
authority on it gives one prestige, en-
ables oneNto command respect when
ever conversation veers in that direc-
ton. and is sure, sooner or later, to
win one recognition as being worthy
of attention.

SOMETHING FOR IMMIGRANTS

1t is we'll in connection with the Just
denunciation of the immigrants who
are found to have come here in bad
faith, to consider the duty of instruc-
ton and protection that rests upon
Americans with respect to the aliens
who furnish good material for citi-
zenship
In the first place it must be rec
ognized that those who have been
stepped in the experience and tradi-
tions of bad government get into the
habit of doubling any government.
The oppressed for a time mistrust all
governments on account of the bad
that they have known.
Even when they find a haven under
some benevolent government some
complain against it from force OF
habit. OF course. these types may be
in the minority, but it is they who
cause considerable trouble. Suppose
however, that some one of the op.
pressed comes here in the right spirit
looking upon this country as the lane
of opportunity, and is ready to show
! his appreciation for it.
Frequently such have been left a
the mercy of the INSCRIPTIONS. beint

The Americanizers, then, must ge
hold of the immigrants at once an,
warn them not to view our govern
ment in the light of what they hav
left, and then see to it that they ar
protected from exploitation. Wit
instruction of this nature they coul
be started right. Bear in mind tina
passing from one form of government
to another, especially from a back
ward monorchy to progressive re
public, is a critical step.
. The immigrants must be traine
right from the start.
