We know also that without the power to make com- parison and to understand cause and effect, without a knowl- edge of history, masses of men will be as clay in the hands of political bosses and plutocrats. On the other hand, without the broadening of outlook and the humanizing of feeling that come from acquaintance with the best literature, the poor and unhappy must become dangerous whenever they become con- scious of brute strength and determined to rely upon it. The ship of state must, conseq...uently, be defended against perils both from above and from below, so to speak, from storm and from shock, from tyranny and corruption on the one hand and from ignorance and prejudice on the other. But, behold, in our library a chart of the shores of all past time, showing where storms are brewed and where gentle trade winds blow; pointing out the deep broad channels of success, the shallows of human weakness and the reefs of human despair. It is here, then, that democracy must seek its final defense against repeating over and again the mistakes whose slow correction is the story of social progress.
