Excerpt from The Centennial Celebration of Springfield, Ohio: Held August 4th to 10th, 1901
A hundred years in the life of a community which has had a prosperous and successful growth, is worth reviewing. During that time there may have been some occurrences of more than ordinary character which will be interesting to those who read of them in narrative form; but the most forceful and productive of all agencies in advancing the condition of a people are the common, well-directed, every-day actions and employments which they have industriously pursued.
The best growth in the life of a nation, city or town arises from normal conditions; the abnormal, unusual, or spasmodic, rather retard advancement than further it. Great events are often useful in shaking off lethargy and arousing to new actions and enlarged views, but there must follow the steady and quiet pur suit of the various occupations to bring lasting results.
