The undertone in Scotch and Norwegian folk songs is the same. The people of the western fjords of Norway look like they were at least first cousins of the Scotch. Now. then. if the British. for the purpose of our immigration influx. are preferable to most other races. why not put the people so closely related to them in relatively the same position? No people in the world. taken as a whole. maintain a higher standard of living than the Scandinavians. the English not excepted. Only the United States excel them in this respect. and only because of the greater national wealth.
