duce and other matters which have been a hindrance to progression and prosperity. They have been too callous of their interests, but the Merchants company’s monopoly sapped the will power and energy of the nation, and the Danish government was inactive and negligent, taking no pains for the welfare of Iceland. It will take some years before the inhabitants will be able to become a thorough practical and business- like nation. It is very necessary that the land should be cultivated before it can be of much benefit to the people. The old condition of things must be entirely eradicated and new methods of farming and the latest improvements in machinery adopted. Then in future years when the country is cultivated our dwellings rebuilt and up to date, sanitary matters attended to and everything about the homes made comfortable and in modern style, matters will be in a very different form from what they are at present. The Icelanders are a very small nation and will have to use all the energy possible and strive keenly if they wish to progress mor- ally, mentally and physically in keeping with the times. The boys and girls who are willing to work for the benefit of their country must be energetic and strive to promote health, hap- piness, rectitude and all things beneficial to the interest of the coun- try. To help one another and be charitable and bear with fortitude our trials, then their record will be handed down on the pages of their trials, then their record will be handed down on the pages of our history as an example worthy of imitation. THE END.
