...some injustice to all the others. For example, the Indian question really touches the questions also of family, of charity, and of temperance. The question of private ownership of land means the emergence of the family from out the tribe, and that is the beginning of home life. The mistaken policy of the government in feeding and housing the Indians only shows again that the best charity consists not of direct help, but of offered opportunity for a man to help himself...

It would indeed be delightful to believe that our musical clubs were doing such a great work in the west as to influence people to come or send their boys to Harvard. But it must be acknowledged that this belief would be rather Utopian. A set of musical Harvard men giving concerts and being lionized, however agreeably they might appear, could hardly be expected...
