Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address at Annual Banquet of Minnesota Commandery Military Order of the Loyal Legion, 1901 To develop a high average in man is the noblest work of civilization. The advancement of a race is only real when it reaches all social strata, pervading the classes and the masses, steadily elevating, energizing, fructifying the entire population. The capacity of a people to evolve constantly improving types of humanity is the final test of greatness. That nation will win supremacy which has the most highly developed average man and makes of him an inspiring citizen. The average man has not, until recently, been a factor in the world; nowhere to-day is he so important a factor as in our own proud and happy land. He has ceased to make an obtuse angle of himself before rank and privilege; he has begun to inhale fresh ozone of the brand that stiffens spines; he has learned that the constitution always follows the flag sooner or later - and he believes in both. Clasped in the embrace of shining centuries that gave model and masterpiece of art, poetry, philosophy, laws and eloquence, lie the annals of queenly Athens and exultant Rome. But viewed from our long focal distance how provincial, how isolated, how evanescent. The "higher classes" were luxurious, but the common people had fewer comforts than the beasts that perish.
