Glimpses of Canada and the United States

did some lecturing in Canada and. came back through the States. This is a good order in which to take the countries, ?our own bit of the Empire first?where a very real tie of kinship exists and where you drop as far as possible any insular feelings and prejudices you may have, and, even more, your preconceived ideas of this new world?and then the States with the greatness of territory, of attempt and accomplishment. (Canada is actually larger in area, but not in inhabited land nor in population). One thing which struck me very much was the extraordinary variety of languages and in particular the heterogeneous nature of the human material which goes to make up these two countries, with their peculiar problems for the alienist. This material is very difficult to handle, to understand, to govern, but with wha immense possibilities! Surely there is not one fine human quality or capacity which should be absent in Canada or the United States!
