Can a town go backward?
Yes.
Can a town go forward?
Yes.
Which way will our town go?
That is up to u.s.
Do we want it to go forward-or do we want it
to go backward?
What foolish question. Forward of course
Yes-it is foolish but like many foolish things
has sense to it.
If we drift-idle along-trust to tomorrow
allow old grievances to prevail-be content with
old evils-we will surely go backward.
That unfortunately-is the tendency of hui

Progress hurts because it means activity. That
is it hurts for while. Afterwards we get over
