When the census was taken in 1810 there were nearly thres million forgign Born whites -in this country ‘who were! ver the age of ten years and could not spéak the English languags, It was mat- nral that such a’ situation should arouse the povple, of this country to change that situation as rapidi possibié, TUnder normal'gonditions it is impossi- bia to say what would have been acoom- plished or what change in the propor- jon of non-English speaking population Wonld have been de, but along with the efforts in béhAlt of encouraging those who neded it to learn our. lan- fuage, therp wers other faetors which Sérved to emphasize the néed of im- Brovement Wnd some which served to de- crease the users of only ferign ton- fues. for By the Jast census It is shown that the numiber has detresged by half, thers being less than a million and a Brit of the foreign born whites in 1820 Who could not speak English, 1t is an imprevemént worth noting. It was accomplished through efforts to en- courage Bnglish spedking, intluding n: uraliiation work through the. fact that fhere has been opportunity for many who did not epeak English ten years previ- to the | war and to the fact that many have died and others ¢ réturned te the coun- tries from whith they came.

Born on Long Island in May, 1818, Walt Whitman was still living within the memory of many pressnt-day read- ers for he did mot die until March, 1892, at the age of. 33 Although the latter years of his life were full of suf- fering and in & measuré poverty was 2lways cloge to his dodr, yet he kept muich of his best work edme after he had passed the allotted period for men’s lives. Whitman was a peculiar genius, who was entirely selZ-centered in his writ- gles to live as painter. schoolmaster, o per - COrT ndent, carpenter, or government clerk, he was forming strong individual views of life—rough, crude ideas, but having a strange vir- ile force. that sprang from the depths of the truly original mind. Walt-Whitman made his struggle as & poet. with his ‘Leayes of Grass’ and_ yéar by vear there has been a 1 change and broadening of view regarding that work that has finally glven the man 2 place for High thought 2nd poetic insight into lite. In & measure Whitman was a mar- | tyr to' hlg country—or rather. to the cause of humanity. During the Civil War_be devoted his, days and. nights to the sick and.dying in the army hospitals. He gave hs services free and to_support himsel he wrote. for news- papers, He bad only odd hours for, such work, hours that were sadly needed for rest. When he éld a position in the of- | fice of the. Attorney General at Wash- ington after the war he sent half- his salary to his mother ahd much of the other half went to old soldiers still sick and unfortunate. ‘Due to his la- bors in the (hospital - with their un- bealthy surroundings, he yas strick- &n with paralysis. While he partly re- covered, yet he was never théreafter a really well man. When his death was told there*Was mourn- ing all over the country—in homes where his name .was heid in tender, memory. The last half dozen years of Walt Whitman's life he spent in Camden, N. J. in & modest little home which is today kept as. a sort of shrine to the memory. of the Good Gray Poet. Here literary people, admirers of Whitman, would come .in large .numbers every year to pay their respects to him, and from this home hie was constantly is- suing forth his beautifyl thoughts in verse, remarkable as coming from a man Who had ‘passed the elghty vear mark.
