Signs of the Times

with contributions from Oscar L. Joseph, W. H. Haden, A. Lawrence Lowell, George W. Richards

[From an Editorial, "Courage—What Is It?" in Chicago Herald and Examiner]

It was intellectual courage that enabled your early ancestors, with a hand almost as feeble as your own, to make themselves masters of this earth.

They built little huts and fought to protect them. They barricaded themselves in caves and, when it was necessary, went out to battle with the bear or tiger trying to roll away the protecting stones at the cave entrance. That was the early, rough kind of courage, and on that courage were built our early civilization, villages and towns, settled homes.
