SEEING AMERICA FIRST Along the Atlantic seaboard of the United States, and inward as far as Buffalo and Louisville, there live millions of good people who have never been a hundred miles to the westward of their homes, and who imagine that they know all that is worth knowing of the United States. They have grown up knowing nothing of the glories of climate, scenery and elbow-room, the perfect gifts of the greater America, and yet they fancy themselves Americans. Of these millions, a few thousands have been to Paris, to London, to Interlaken, Carlsbad and even to Venice and Rome. They have been cramped in narrow railway carriages, they have starved at the tables d'hote; they have struggled with the landlady and succumbed to the portier. The have walked through miles of the old masters, through equal miles of beggars, guides, commissionaires, custom officers and other extortionists. They have run the continuous gauntlet. And so they vainly imagine that they know Europe, and that they know America, and thus that they have the best this little world can offer. But to those who have "seen America," how pretty this little program seems! Of course, Europe has many things to offer to the traveler, the tourist, and the student. Europe has her wonderful races of peoples—each grown to be a great nation, each with a marvelous history of tree is 250 feet high, forty feet ameter and 8000 years o trees grow in the woods of M Calaveras and Tulare.

But to those who have "seen America," how pretty this little program seems! Of course, Europe has many things to offer to the traveler, the tourist, and the student. Europe has her wonderful races of peoples—each grown to be a great nation, each with a marvelous history, of literature, of art, of action. Europe has great cities, beautiful cities—cities with libraries, galleries, universities, each of which draws its train of eager scholars. Europe has Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, the Bernese Oberland, the Engadin, the Alps of Tyrol and Dauphiny, the cliffs and cataracts of Norway, the lakes and mountains of Cumberland and Norway, the white Apennines and the Mediterranean with its endless blue. It has Vesuvius, Capri and Castellaman, the isles of Greece, the Alhambra, the "Nega cleft by the Xenil," and the dark Saxon forests. It has much indeed to interest and to teach outside its swarming hotels and vulgar watering places. But America! Once you cross the Missouri river, once you reach the Land of Elbow-Room—then life begins; not life around you, for people are few, but life in you. That is what you ought to travel for—to feel yourself growing. The mind expands with the illimitable distances, the soul expands with the freedom of the mountains, the dark grandeur of the canyons, which are only mountains reversed. Have you crossed the great prairies? Have you ever breathed the air of the desert, air which is pure—not breathed before you by a thousand invalids, but pure air—air created pure and held for your use since the day of creation. Do you know the meaning of canyon, butte, cache, trail and cataract? Do you know what a geyser is and have you ever risen at midnight of a heights? Have you ever Acoma, of Zuni, of Moguuch Enchanted Mesa of Acoma of Colorado, Long's Peak Blanca, the Royal Gorge, Lakes, and the Black Canyon Guunison? Are you interested in groves, in peach orchards on tain tops; in thousand-acre yards; in fields of wheat, which you might drive for with a swift California to Paris-imported automobile. Do you care for fine hares acres of roses, for ranches peas, for gardening on the and fairest scale? Do you like to see a unicute beautiful as a cathedral and as beautiful as a dream? Find such things in California youth strenuous and beautifying unspoiled and healthy-women in them as stuff gether. What else do you want acts, gold mines, breaking tells that are real hostlers the guest feels that he at home. Do you want mer, sunny winter, tropicaion, eternal June, eternabber? Do you crave for pearl reefs and the unchange of white breakers against ground of ultra marine? Have huge boiling sink of Kilau in the act, appeal to your snowy heights of Mauna palm trees, tree-ferus, orange coffee trees, pandanus flanking it down to the verthe sea? If you are a rational humble pleased with good health people, delighted with any nature outside yourself, surely find your pleasure at highest degree if you will America."—Dr. David Staing in Western Homeseeker.

Do you know the meaning of canyon, butte, cache, trail and cataract? Do you know what a geyser is and have you ever risen at midnight of a moonlit night to keep an appointment with Old Faithful?

Or do you know the McCloud, the King's and the Merced rivers, or the St. Vrain, the Hellroaring and the streams in Jackson's Hole? Have you ever climbed the Great White Pass, and do you know the Yukon, the Chilcott, the Chilcat and the Skagway?

Several proposed amendments to the constitution deal with the situation in San Francisco. Summer School at Berkeley Berkeley, June 1, 1906. The special rate of one fare plus two dollars for the round trip to Berkeley, which was made by the railroads on account of the National Educational Association convention, will still be available to the students of the University of California summer school, which opens June 25th and ends August 4th. The tickets will be on sale at all stations June 10th. Prospective students will pay full fare to Berkeley and take a receipt for it. Upon certification by the recorder of the faculties that they have been in attendance at the summer session a return ticket will be sold to them for two dollars. The return trip may be made at these special rates any time up to August 31st. The time limit of the tickets gives oxe ample opportunity to study the unique situation in San Francisco either before or after the summer session.
