Excerpt from The Chimes, Vol. 7: December, 1943 All authorities agree that to form a better nation, education of the masses is imperative. And how are these masses to become literate except through books? The primary debility of America's public is illiteracy. As long as it persists, there can be no government set up which will be entirely democratic. People who have not learned the value of books, or the thoughts which can be gleaned from them deserve no voice in the government. Ex perience may be the best teacher but some things have to be learned vicariously. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
