KNOW THY COUNTRY
I-IntrOductory

"Know America" is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this ma
ton. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citi-
zen, and no one can merit so dis
tinguished a title until he is well in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is a commercial age and civ
~ilization is bearing it's most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the com
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the s%culptors, poets, phil.
osophers, architects, and artists OF
earlier civilizations.

a bar of iron and bent it into

his magic mind broke the shackles
that enslaved labor of generations yet
unborn, and gave mankind freedom
from drudgery, and lifted the human
ace into a higher zone of life.
AS Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the oceans waves, and to make foot
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that has made America master of the
worlds finances, brought Kings to our
cashiers windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
There is no study quite SO interest
ing as progress; no sound so magic
as the roar of industry and no sight
so inspiring as civilization in action.
A full realization of Americas part in
the great events of the world past,
present and future will thrill every
human heart with pride, patriotism
