Harbor of Rio 

 From "A Commercial Traveler in South America." by Frank Wiborg. 



none for the white, and Prof Klein de- 

 clares that they will have to go through 

 the painful centuries of evolution be- 

 fore they can reach the standard of 

 their white fellow citizens. He empha- 

 sizes -very strongly the industrial side 

 of training for them, though he thinks 

 the higher courses are necessary for a 

 small class of picked leaders. 



He has a very keen eye. In the rush 

 and roar of manufacturing in Pittsburg, 

 he discovers that the farm must pro- 

 duce the men who are to manage the 

 great throbbing activities of our large 

 cities. 



A whole chapter is devoted to Mr 

 Roosevelt, one of whose books really 

 furnishes the title for Professor Klein's 

 discourse. He is naturally full of ad- 

 miration for this great representative of 

 America, but makes one mistake of fact 

 when he refers to him as at one time a 

 member of Congress. 



From cover to cover, the pages hold 



the closest attention. Here we have 

 the lively opinions of a genial foreigner, 

 mixed with as few errors as could be 

 expected from a short trip. There is 

 nothing of patronage, nothing of cap- 

 tious criticism, but the frank earnest- 

 ness of a man who looks with clear vis- 

 ion upon what he comes across. He 

 does not bubble over with praise of us, 

 but he realizes what an immense 

 brother we are among the countries of 

 the world. C. M.
