The upbuilding of the United States is indeed a wonder ful story. From the days of the Vikings onward the long procession of valiant Spanish, English, French, and Dutch voyagers, missionaries, and colonizers appears on its pages. The Indian tribes are seen in the woods or on the plains, along the rivers and on the Great Lakes. The scenes of our great historic actions were enacted on a stage made up of mighty areas, unrivaled waterways, primeval forests, boundless plains, and towering mountain systems. Through all the story we can see the Slow development of a representative form of government, which, checked - now here and now there - by royal prerogative, at last burst its bonds and emerged a free people. \tile the path of progress of the Republic has ever led onward, it was not without, now and then, a mighty struggle, as in the great Civil when the nation had to decide whether a government constituted as it was would con tinue to exist. The Republic rendered its decision, and then and there entered on a career of advancement unequaled in the history of mankind.
