as a king' was not eonfwed to his viotoriss in war.
He was no loss great in the arts of peaceful ad
ministration. The tilling of the ground, and its
careful cultivation, the rearing of cattle, and all
matters pertaining to the internal welfare of his
people were arranged for under duly qualified and
appointed oversight. There is no doubt that under
the reign of David the Hebrew people realized their
greatest strength, even though it did not reach the
height of their material magnificence. Fundamen
tally a man of God, David was also a warrior, a
poet and an administrator, and with his passing,
the day of Hebrew greatness passed its meridian.
The book ends with an account of the solemn
charge he gave to Solomon, and of the ceremony
in which he gave to the Lord all that he had gath
ered for the carrying out of the work of the tem
ple. Finally, the chronicler declares that David
“died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and
honor.” It had been in very truth a great reign.
Through varied experiences the king had come at
last to the highest that was in him, and as Paul
declared, “After he had in his own generation
served the counsel of God, he fell on sleep.”

The Germans in America.
In a recent issue of “Georgia” there is a splen
did article on the above subject, discussing at length
the prominent place taken by Germans in America
in all the branches of business, education and the
arts. It is estimated that there are now in Amer
ica about five and one-half million Germans. The
author says:

boarders, he has taken about five and one-half
million Germans into his happy family. At the
present time, a careful estimate shows that the
American flag floats over fully twelve millions of
men, women and children who are German either
by birth or descent.”
The part of the article most pertinent just now,
is devoted to “The Germans as Scholars and Teach
ers,” which we give in full:
‘ 1 Scholarship first. Here, without doubt, we have
one of the secrets of the power of the German
people. In no other country has the university
touched the national life at so many points. To be
a patriot in Germany, one must be more or lesd
a scholar. Americans who have studied at the
German universities have often been surprised to
find that in Germany the herr professor is not in
any sense a bookish theorist, but a most active
citizen and man of affairs. Many of the recent vic
tories of German commerce are due to the fact
that the manufacturer and the scientist work hand
in hand. Even the most .practical and self-taught
German business man wants to do everything in
the right way —the scientific way; and so there
has sprung up in all German communities a work
ing partnership between the men of learning and
the men of finance, which has been of great ad
vantage to them both.
“In our list of forty-four German-American pro
fessors, there are several of the highest national
reputation. There is Professor Hugo Munsterberg,
for example, whose genial book on “American
Traits” has shown us how we look to German
eyes. Whether he is more of an American or a
German it would be difficult to say, as he has been
for several years filling the part of literary inter
preter between the two countries. Also at Harvard
there is Professor Kuno Francke, who has given
us an authoritative history of German literature.
“Several of the best works of American history
and biography have been written by Professor H.
E. Van Holst, of Chicago University. Dr. John M.
Schaeberle, of the Lick Observatory, has to his
credit the discovery of three eomets. Professor
Hermann Knapp, M. D., of Columbia University,
is one of our highest authorities on the eye and
ear. There is no more learned specialist on China
and the Chinese than Professor Friederich Hirth, of
Columbia; and for information upon the subject of
ancient civilizations, the whole world is indebted
to two other German-American professors —Paul
Haupt, of Johns Hopkins, and Herman V. Hilprecht,
of the University of Pennsylvania.
“Among our zoologists, Professor Carl 11. Eigen
mann, of Indiana University, has come into public
notice by his study of fishes, as has Professor
George E. Beyer, of Tulane, by his books on snakes
and mosquitoes. Two women, too, deserve a place
in this distinguished group —Mrs. Maria Kraus-
Boelte, a pioneer in kindergarten work in New
York, and Miss Margarethe Magdalene Muller, who
for several years has been head of the German
department of Wellesley College.
“The German Kaiser and the president of Co
lumbia have recently set in operation a highly orig
inal plan of exchanging professors, whereby a Ger
man specialist comes to this country to teach us
the history and literature of Germany, and an
American lecturer goes to Berlin to give a course
on American institutions. The suggestion for this
interchange of professors is said to have come
from William 11. himself. Instead of following
the Cecil Rhodes plan of sending the students to
the professors, the emperor asked the question,
‘Why not send the professors to the students'?’
As a result, there is now in Berlin University a
Theodore Roosevelt professorship, endowed by
James Speyei’ with fifty thousand dollars, and with
Professor John W. Burgess as the first lecturer.”
