Description:Excerpt from The Iowa Pioneer and His Ideals: An Address Delivered by Thomas H. Macbride on June Twelfth, Nineteen Hundred and Six, Education Day of the Semi-Centennial Celebration of the City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa Humanity has learned to count 'by centuries. The great chronometer of human story ticks centennials, and we sons and daughters of time have somehow learned to listen for the music Of its mighty pendulum. Too often the deep monotone has been the roar of battle. For a thousand years the centuries have gone out in war and the new era has dawned in tumult. Only today a new energy rises in the world; the voice Of the people has at length become the voice of God, and speaking by the mouth of an American president commands the world to peace. Who doubts but that for this new fac tor in history, our twentieth century which began to fol low precedent, would still be exploding on all shores of earth in the ames of universal con ict? Such has ever been the music of the horologue of time, whose pen dulum beats centuries. Mr. Ruskin, the distinguished Englishman, would not visit America because, as is reported, he could not endure a country which had no history, which had, as he said, neither castles nor cathedrals. No doubt there may be satisfaction to some men in looking upon a lengthened past and in contemplating the remnants of some earlier age; no doubt there is inspiration in his toric lore. But if Mr. Ruskin could have been here today he had been compelled to say, if he said the truth, that for the comfort and happiness of its people Cedar Rapids 'had done more in fifty years than any town of equal size in all Europe had accomplished in no mat ter how many centuries. What need have we of that background of tyranny and wretchedness and sorrow, even though at the last culminating in the light of art and song, what need of the darkness when we may begin with light? Nature herself anticipates. She makes haste today when she would build her greatest work; she ignores the ages, only touches as in reminis cence her far, far-stretching past and rears in a few de cades her masterpiece - the palace Of a human soul. In the shadow of cathedrals, crowned by centuries of story, beneath the very arches of castellated ruin by the Rhine I have seen the unlettered peasant plowing with the family cow. To such a man what avail the cen tunes? How much of life from that old cathedral gilds his toil? Upon his sorrow-dimmed Vision what ro mantic spectacle rises, as round the castle walls in penury he stumbles during the laborious slow-grinding years of human toil? Let us rejoice that fifty years have placed here, under these skies benign, more happy, simple homes than can be found in any equal area in all the ancient world.
