Synopsis
Excerpt from Holland as Seen by an American
Everyone who wishes to see the highest rewards paid for industry, thrift and economy should Visit Holland. Not for a single day, but for a week or even longer; long enough to become inoculated with the spirit that has made its people famous in literature, science and art, as well as in the industrial world. The inhabitants of a country are what the external influences make them, and its geography is a preface to its history, as wellas a key to the understanding of the people's habits, genius and institutions. In no other land is this so clearly true as in the Hollow-land, and the tourist who wishes to bring home something more than memories of cities, monu ments and cathedrals - who wants to feel his soul made larger by coming close to influences that are character-building, should include in his itinerary this birthplace of religious freedom, public schools and civil government.
