Social Advance Depends Quite As Much Upon

Perhaps Nothing Is So Fraught With Significance As The Human Hand, This Oldest Tool With Which Man Has Dug His Way From Savagery, And With Which He Is Constantly Groping Forward.

Perhaps I May Record Here My Protest Against The Efforts, So Often Made, To Shield Children And Young People From All That Has To Do With Death And Sorrow, To Give Them A Good Time At All Hazards On The Assumption That The Ills Of Life Will Come Soon Enough. Young People Themselves Often Resent This Attitude On The Part Of Their Elders; They Feel Set Aside And Belittled As If They Were Denied The Common Human Experiences.

Democracy Is That Which Affords A Rule Of Living As Well As A Test Of Faith.

The Blessing Which We Associate With A Life Of Refinement And Cultivation Can Be Made Universal And Must Be Made Universal If They Are To Be Permanent.

No One So Poignantly Realizes The Failures In The Social Structure As The Man At The Bottom, Who Has Been Most Directly In Contact With Those Failures And Has Suffered Most.
