Italy and Germany had recently been built into nations; France had finally swept aside the Empire and the Commune and established the Republic.
The infallible panacea, so the 'Progressive' tell us, is education lessons on the piano, perhaps? Doctor Malthus would be more to the purpose; but how shall we administer his prescriptions? One thing we might try to teach to advantage, and that is the elementary principles of hygiene. I am heart and soul with the Progressive as to the ultimate remedial powers of education.
