By OHARLE? W. ELIOT
president Ihnerltus of Harvard Unhersily.
The educational obligations of Amcrkn
to Germany nro Indeed wide niul deep.
They relato to literature, science, art,
education and religion. The Qetinuti Klfts
Tvoro first communicated through n few
persons, young pioneers from America
who, after having received a partial edu
cation here, went over to Germany to
study more deeply and Intensively. They
have also been communicated directly
from Ucrtnan to American Institutions.
The Gorman unlvoreltles to which tho
first American students resorted In the
early part of the nineteenth century wno
In part recent creations, and In part le
constructlono on old foundations; but
how rich they were, how free, and how
Btrongl
I recall a small group of young men
who went In tho first fifth of tho nine
teenth century from the neighborhood of
Boston to German universities. One of
them was Gcorgo Tlcknor, who subse
quently became the historian of Spanish
literature, and author of a book which Is
still the best book In English on that
miblcct. Another was Georgo Uuncroft,
ivho returned homo to become Hist a
teacher, ahd then tho writer of an elabo
rate history of tho United States, ,incj
later In life Wort tho American MM stcr
at Berlin. Another was Frederic Henry
Hedge, also from New England, who,
after hU stuijont days In Germany, be
came first a teacher, then an author on
icllglous theme, and tli'n a ptofeisor
of Cletmnii literature) In Harvard Un. ver
sify. This was a characteristic group of
young Americans going over to Germany,
full of Intellcrttinl enterprise, to nee
what they could learn thelo of letters,
seet.ee nnd art; to study the educational
nstlttitlous of Ue many In the hope of
biluglng homo good educational seed
widen tnlstht bo planted heir In this com
pnrallvily iindevdofed, commcrc nl land
win re a scanty border of civilization was
cllnclng to the edge of tin Unmeasured
Wilderness. All three of these men In
flu nerd for good the policies of Harvard
UlllVnlf'ty,
The American pioneers In Germany dur
ing tho first half of the IDth cen
tury biotlght hack Various Knowled tes,
various skills nnd ninny ptcgnaut doe
tilncs. The variety of knowltdgo and
skill which could he ptocured at the Ger
man universities at that early day wan
scmoninig nsinumilng to tlie.'e American
youth, something ItidcscrllMb'y-rlch ami
Various. With their own personal ex
periences nnd gains they brought back
also to America the structure of the
modem German unlvctslty, then young
in ui-rimiuy nun in America not yes con
ceived of. They had, moreover, absorbed
flint noble German policy of academic
freedom, ftcedom for the student nnd
the teacher alike. This academic ftec
dom meant emancipation from tradition
and pieludlce, and from nuthmlty,
whether gofrnmental or ecctosl-istlcni.
They saw, alo, how two great doctrines
which had prung from the German
1'rolcHtnnt Itefernuitlon hnd fieen devel
oped by Gcrinitns from seed then plnn'ed
In Cleitnnnv. Ti-o frst wns the tloctrlno
of universal education, developed from
tho Protestant coneentlnn of Individual
responsibility: nnd the second was the
great doctrine of elvlc liberty, llbcrtv In
industries In society. In government,
llbeitv with order under law. These two
principles look their rise in Protestant
Germany: nnd America w been the
cientcst beneficiary of that noblo to-ich-Imr.
The pioneers ftom New England In the
first half of tho l!)th century have been
followed by a stream of American youth.
going over to enlarge their experiences,
to make new observations, to put In
practice tho Inductive method of arriv
ing at truth, and to learn to think pro
foundly and accurately In tho German
universities. That stream has flowed
backward nil over this country, fertiliz
ing It with German thought nnd Girman
rrefhods. These thousands of American
students haVe absorbed In Gcrmnn;' that
splendid spirit of scientific research now
developed In alt fields of knowledge on
the same method and In tho samo spirit.
Kclentldc research has been lenrned
through practice In Germany by thul
sands of American students nnd teich
ers. It Is Impossible fo describe or nven
Imagine what an Immense Intcllsctual
gift tlil? linn been from Germany to
Anierlcn. It is, of course, trtio that
America Is Imebtod not only to Gotmany
but ii.so to England, Scandinavia, France,
Italy nnd of late to ttussla, for this per
fected spirit nnd method of research, b it
America is more Indebted to Ger'nany
than to any other nation, because the
range of German research has been wider
and deeper than has been seen In any
other of tho tin! Ions mentioned.
Thoro w another bond of union be
tween Germany and America which i,ay
como some tiny to tho stage of practl 'at
elllcaey. To be sure, It Is nothing but
a sentiment or feeling; but sentiments
often supply the motive power for vlgo"
ouf. action. Tho Teutonic peoples set u
higher vnlue on truth In speech, thought
and nctlou than any other peoples. Ger
many and Amerlcn, England, Scandi
navia and Holland me one In this re
spect. They nil lovo truth) they seek Itj
they woo It. Thoy respect the man who
speaks and acts tho truth even to his
own Injury. The English Uacon snld of
truth: "It Is the sovereign good of hu
man nttitc." That la what nil the Teu
tonic pcoplcn believe. They want to
found their action on fact, not fancy; on
tho truth tile demonstrated truth, not
on Imaginations. I say that beta Is a
finn bond of union, n tcnl 111. chops of
spirit n community In devotion and wor
ship among all the Teu'onlc peoples. Let
us ho'ie thnt at no distant dny this com
mon worship, this common devotion,

WHO WILL FINANCE
THIS NEW "EDEN"?
Tho "Mittgart Bund" Seeks an
"Angel" If Germany Cannot
Supply Site America May Be
Honored.
New York Leaves Vera Cruz Today
VHP. A Cnra, Sept. n.-The United
States battleship New York has been
ordered homo and will salt-northward to-day.
HEntjlN, Sept. 1C Is there In Amer
ican millionaire with the beauty of an
Apollo, the Intellect of a Socrates, tho
strength of a Samson, tho restless energy
of a Kaiser Wllhelm, the Idealism of a
Hryan, who wants to help Improve tho
human race by becoming the llnanclnl
founder of a now "Onrdcn of Eden"?
Dr. Wllllbald Hontschel, head of tho
"Mittgart liund," of Germany, Is looking
for such a mon, Anldo from the reward
In Heaven and tho niche In tho Hull of
Fame lieitMiflcr, sucli a superman Is also
to havo his reward In this life. Ho can
be one of tho irrst "Adainn" In tho now
"Eden" with ten or more "Eves,"
Matrimony one long Eorles of "trial
marriages!" Each "morrlago" to Inst
from three months to one year! This, In
short, Is tho scheme for tho "human
garden" planned by the Mittgart liund
and Dr. Hontschel for which u philan
thropist and a suitable location ure being
sought. If tho financier wnnls to give
tho now Eden a start out of purely
philanthropic motives thete Is no objec
tion. It Is estimated that $50,000 would
be sufficient to establish and maintain
tho pioposed Eden for some years. Tho
"bunu" also Is looking for a site for the
"human garden" where It can rear a race
of children unsurpassed for beauty,
strength, Intellect and wisdom, nnd who
aio to become the togeneiating elements
of tho human race nnd the hope of tho
world.
Dr. Hcntschel c ntcd somewhat of a
sensation about a yea ago at a con
vention of tho "Mittgart Uund" by his
plan for "rearing noble human beings."
The scheme called for whit he charac
terized a "human garden ' with 10) men
tho elect of Germany and :000 Women
It Is Dr. Hentschol's Idea that places
mU3t be established where by a course
of selectivity a scrloils nnd earnest sclen
title attempt must be mnde to tetr noble
human beings as regenerating and teticw
Ing element's which alone can chelk what
he declares to he the steady deterioration
and degeneration of the human race.
As viglnjily planned, It was proposed
to hnvo the site, of tho new "Eden" some
where In Gtriiiony. tho founders bring
patriotic eni.trii to want to funlsh the
first "regenerating elements" to tho Ger
mnn race. Put tho Germans apparently
do not want to bo rcgcneratd. In a
letter to The Sun correspondent, Dr.
Hentschcl writes that two thlngi are
holding back the icallzatlon of tin "hu
man garden" nnd ItB benefits moiiy rt-,l
women, Men, he says, can roidlly br,
had In sufllcleiit number to stirt the
"garden."
Falling to find a suitable site In Ger
many and as tho foreign prc-u lias
treated tho schemo with far more dig
nity and seriousness than hnd the Her
man press, Dr. Hontschel sa I 'hat the
"bund" was looking abroad for u suitable
place In which to stmt tho new "Kden.'
where the unhappiness of married life
Ih to llml a solution In a long rcrlcs cf
brief "Irlnl mairlnges." A io,irr"ietila
tlvo of the ' bund" was sent to the Ar
gentine !!(' nrrt ft t Sivpi'en, hut tliov

States would bo tat prcfcrao.c The
"bur tV Is still open to tho coniKicr.ittjn
of land grant.! or propositions for n suit
able location for the human garden." Dr.
I.cutsi.ht'1 alto would i,kc tj have some
of tlio wealthy Americans who free v rJV"
their money nwny for vatlous i urpotcs
Iltiunie the "Kden,"
According to "Mlltgort" Idenn, two
rut.e. nm upon niodrrn society modern
mnnlagp ond modern city lir. The first,
as ehowu by tho insane -isy umn, prisons
and Idle rich, brings Into life much that is
worth ess, useless nnd destructive, and
hinders the race from ii-aih ng Its high
est development. City life Is the "cnl
dion" and "furnace" which devours the
best that comes from the farming com
munities. "A crime ngalnit humanity Immoral
through and through," Is the way modern
wedlock Is characterized, in tho last
analysis, nsserW the Mittgart liund and
Its founder, the greater part of the misery
on earth Is traceable to modern married
life. The "degeneration of honor, morals,
duly, modesty, self-control, co-operation,
truthfulness and fidelity" Jo declared to bo
evidence of racial decline.
Doctor Hcntscliel's scheme for checking
this condition of the human race far out
does tho "Eugonles," That Is, temporary,
short term or trial marriages between
women who want to become "mothers of
the new race" and "nuperlor men." It Is
the theory of Doctor Hentschcl, In proof
of which history nnd analogy are cited,
that all the superior qualities como from
the father and seldom from the mother.
To regenerate the rnco It Is necessary,
therefore, according to Doctor Hentschcl
and the Mittgart Hund, that "superior
men," that Is, men of superior morals. In
tellect and physique In short, great men
In any line should havo tho opportunity
to become fathers of many children.
The children will bo raised and edu
cated by the society until tho time comes
when the stnlo will do mat. ine wire
devotes herself to her child for three
yonrs befote she Is allowed to marry
again. Tho husband In the meantime
lakes another wife.
Much attention to physical training dc
etopment In children will be given In the
"On'rrlen." Little stress Is laid on "higher
education." Hoys nnd girls are to bo
reared In "Spartan simplicity." Hoys are
to be taught relf-contio' and to become
accustomed to pain that they may be
come courageous. From ton years on
boys are to carry small swords, In tho
use of which they will bo trained. Ar
bitration, courts of honor nnd unwritten
law will deal out Justice In tho new Hden.
When they fall, the sword n tho bunds
of the best man. according to ancient
kill 'ht'y custom, will decide.
"Lnek of necessary finances," said Dr.
Henthel. "has so far prevented the pmc
tical carrying out of the Mittgart plans.
We h.ivo about 100 members, but mostly
persons of small means. There Is no lacic
of men with great qualifications. The
problem Is tho money question nnd to
find some one or mote who will llnancc
such a colony as we plan. More difficult
Is the woman question. Only a few, cour
ageous nnd Independent of view and Judg
ment, have Joined us."
SLIGHTLY ILL AT lid
But Captain Diamond Ghrtfos at Being
Thought Iteally Indisposed
Out at the Crocker Old People's Home,
Pino and Pierce streets, Ban Francisco,
Captain Goddard Ezcklel Dodgti Dia
mond Is chafing because he has been
confined to his bed for tho Inst few days.
Ho fears that some of his friends May
think his Indisposition Is an indication
of Infirmity. Put Captain Diamond in
slsts that Inasmuch as ho is only Just
turned lis years, such a supposition Is ab
surd. He Insists that ha Is as halo and
hearty as nny one less than half his
age.
He makes no secret of the method by
which one may attain and pass the cen
tury mile post. His scheme of Ufa con
sists largely of "don'ts," Don't use to
bacco, don't use stimulants nnd don't eat
Bwecls. Captain Diamond has nbstalneil
from all these, and ho has not touched
meat since 1SG2.
Captain Diamond says he was born in
Plymouth, Mass., May t. ITS'!, In the ad
ministration of President Adams, second
chief executivo of the United States, lis
tells vivid stories of pioneer days In th
Maine woods and how ho provided for
his mother while his father was serving
In the war of 1812.
He says ho was first thrust Into the
world at the age of 20. when ho went to
Hoston, being unable to rend or wrlto
and not even knowing tho alphabet. Dur
ing the civil wnr he served four years
In the quarlermnster'u department at St.
l.ouls, notwithstanding the fnct that he
was G) years old at the outbreak of hos
tilities. lln came to California In 1S77. Ho has
never mart led. and today tins the ap
pearance of u man In vigorous health.
His blue eyes am clear, his hand clnso
strong and his face unwrlnkled by tho
pussage of years.

As tho progieM und prosperity of the

and a:, the question of their proper prep

at AJmcr, in Itajputaun, tho site of Mayo

the princes and nobility of India, says
the Dally Consular and Tradu Itoports.
Mayo College was founded In 1S73,
thioush the Influenco of Lord Mayo, at
that timo Viceroy of Imllu. A monument
to Ins memory erected Just In front of
the main bi'lldlng of tho college mentions
that "it wub lild hope that tho college of
which he fiist suggested the foundation
might piMtnote among tho youth of liaj
putana tho cardinal virtues of fortitudo,
temperance. Justice and benevolence of
which his own llfo gavo a splendid ox

At these strangely named towns on the other side of the

in the fragrant smoke pf your Fatima, expert tobacco buyers
are going over bale after bale of choice Turkish le
selecting here and there tobacco which they consider worthy
to enter into the famous Fatima Turkish Blend.
These resident Liggett C& Myers buyers know the slighter

that Fatimas are always so uniformly good
