his nest-the books he needed! And
finally he had to go over to Europe to get
them!
All this aggressive patriotism he put
into his school-books. The growing con-
sciousness of nationalism was more bump
tious in him than in any of his contem-
poraries, even Fourth of July orators.
This too was good and bad. His school
readers were full of the speeches of the
Revolutionary heroes and of American
ideas, and it was well for every school
child to get them by heart. But they
were also full OF exaggerated accounts of
the greatness of America, which naturally
made children brought up on them feel
that the rest Of the world was of no i'm
portance whatever. Unfortunate as this
proved to be, however, it was perhaps the
only way to develop a strong national
feeling. People had already a strong
Massachusetts, feeling, and strong Penn
sylvania feeling, and so forth. But it was
vitally important that they should get
something they didn't have-a strong
feeling of the nation
If you will look into Webster's Diction-
airy you will find the word websterian.
1t is an adjective derived from both Noah
and Daniel. 1t means that a thing is
about as solid as a thing can be. Though
Daniel was born wheL there were no
school books, he was just in time to get
Noah's first one And Noah lived long
enough to put some of Daniels great
speeches into his school readers. The two
Websters were very different, but their
ruling idea was the same. The nation
should be above everything else It was
through Daniel Webster more than
through any other one man that this

without it. On the contrary. We are quite
happy in doing nov just what they will
be doing then, comparing our advantages
with those of people in the past and think
ing how much better off we are now. Just
so they were doing then with those
Colonial school books. which you might
think were worse than none at all.
They were almost exclusively religious
in character and in content. And the
religion of the Puritans. you remember
was very stern and grim. Even in
Sunday school children are not drilled in
the catechism as they once were, but how
would you like to study reading and writ
ing and spelling from a book written like
the catechism and dealing only with re-
ligious and theological subjects? Do you
think that learning how 10 spell Nebuchad
nezzar would help much in your daily
life? Yet this is the sort of thing little
boys and girls cut their school teeth on

irresponsible little dandelion as Mother
Goose could blossom out of that fiinty time
when people thought that children should
set about wrestling with God to save their
souls from the fires of hell at the age of
three?
After the Revolution they saw at once
that they must write some text books OF
their own Naturally. they did not want
to send over to England for new stock.

nO you know what would have hap
l. pened if you had been born the last
year of the Revolutionary War,
like Daniel Webster? You would have
gone TO a bookless school. For many years
children born after 1880 had no books to
study from. Do you wonder that many
of them grew up without learning to read?
Before the war all the school books had
been made in England. For time the
younger children used hand-me-dCwns
from the older children. But with the
carefullest handling possible they naturally
wore out by and by. Then there came a
day when the teacher and the pupils were
all at school, and there were no books
whatever.
Still, if you had seen the school books
they used before the war you might pos
siby prefer none at all. But that would
only mean that you were using your to-day
eyes, not your historical ones You would
be looking at the past in the light of the
future. which had not yet arrived. Unless
people are very careful this is fault they
always fall into. 1t is what some people
a hundred years from now will be saying
about us. Poor things" they will say.
How do you suppose they could have
managed with their sowpoke airplanes
and telephones; and just fancy having to
dig mines in the earth for something to
keep themselves warm with and cutting
down all their trees for paper to write
upon, Poor creatures, how hard life must
have been." But. naturally. since we don't

conviction that at all sacrifices the Union

sion of his Daniel Webster was willing to
sacrifice every other principle, and he was
often bitterly condemned by admirers
who thought he was not valuing other
principles highly enough. They thought
he would be willing even to tolerate slav-
