EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN
should know the history of his own
cosBtry and of the vrnrlil 'to Intelli
gently perform his full duty as a citizen In tho Govermmeat of This Natloa.
How else are we to judge of tho great national questions that crowd upon
us for decision except by some knowledge of the past. Our Colonial
Policy, the Qnextloa of the Trusts' agitating the great business and com
mercial world, the respective rights of labor and capital, tho conflict be
tween Socialism on the one hand and organized business and Industry on
the other fyese and hundreds of other important questions press upon
us as a nation for intelligent discussion and decision How have such
questions been, met in tho past? ,Ppr the answer read tho history of
anclenti civilizations which flourished, decayed and died "and have been
so thoroughly obliterated from tho face of tho earth that tjven the loca-r
tion of their splendid cities is unknown. Read tho htstqry of mighty
Babylon, or of imperial Rome as a kingdom, then as a renub- ,
lie, and Anally as an empire', and familiarize yourself with
her growth, development and decay. Read tho history of the
Preach Revolution, the establishment of the republic, o.ut of
which came the empire dominated by Napoleon. Then -when
you know history, when you know, the cause of tho rise and
downfall of. empires and nations", and not until then, will yo'u
bo able to intelligently discuss and decide tho great questions
that are pressing now everywhere' for attention. Tho growth,
development and decay of -tho nations of tho world constitute
tho most Inspiring themo' that .can' claim tho attention of man.
It is an inspiring story, and Dr, Ulapath has told it bettor
than it has ever been told before Send Coupon today.
