"The Singhalese seemed to have a good time of it at the World's Fair. Their country was well represented by a charming building and fine exhibit of the products of the land, and the people themselves, in family groups, had both occupation and amusement. The old hymn to the effect that Ceylon's lovely Isle"" is a place where nature has done pretty well and ""only man is vile"" seemed hardly justified by the appearance or the actions of the Singhalese"
