This work must be done now or never. It would seem, therefore, to be a most important feature of the work of the western historical society to seek to create a historical consciousness. In order to develop a true interest hi the past, we must interest individual citizens in the things of the present; we must seek to break up the feeling that the State is an artificial crea- tion; we must make it a real organic thing in the eyes of the people, a something whose past history is precious because i...t has led to the present. We must make the historical society so minister to present THE WESTERN STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 207 needs that it shall make the citizens of to-day more capable of under- standing the events of the present. They must be made to feel that because of its existence the present generation will have greater wis- dom of decision and greater sanity of action. And while it is thus seeking to serve it must be cautious lest its acts be misinterpreted. It must seek to maintain a balance between its ideal of work and that which present conditions make possible the old question of opportunism or principle.
