At every national elec tion nnd at many state and munici pal elections the people are called upon to vote on policies which can not be intelligently determined with out such knowledge. Legislators and other representatives of the peo ple are constantly In need of it. On ly out of the history of the past can come an understanding of the prin ciples by which they must be guided If they are to work wisely for the future. To read extensively and deeply in the history of the country becomes therefore a patriotic duty. Only thus can one love his land with 'love far brought from out the stor ied past,' 'used within the present' and 'transfused through future time by power of thought.'
