The America of today is a product of that spirit. But it is a product so astounding, the America of today is so complex a thing, that we ask ourselves, What is the Americanism that now we demand one of another ? What is the ideal or what the destiny for which once more the nation has given sons and treasure? Do we know? Can we conceive it? Is it to be something new,
28I

or only a carrying forward of glorious traditions ? Is it to be real, or only a form of words with which to play when we are confronted by new problems, because we must give ourselves the satisfaction of thinking that we think-of repeat- ing a formula, whether or not we have a program ?
As I study the political ideas of New England and review the history of a nation that was born of revolution and reborn of civil war, I find myself believing that the substantial things of Americanism are discernible in certain daring propositions that New England put to experi- mental test.
New England demonstrated to her own satis- faction, she convinced America, and America has very nearly convinced the world, that four momentous achievements, undreamed of by the ancient or by the medieval mind, are possible to mankind.
These four tried-out propositions are: one, that it is possible to educate the entire population of any civilized country; two, that it is possible to convince the entire population of any civilized country that it is better to do things by due process of law than to do them irregularly and by violence; three, that it is possible to govern
282
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
human affairs in a democratic way instead of by class rule; four, that it is possible to confederate democratic states, as often it was possible to bind monarchic states, together in a working whole for the greater good of the confederated peoples.
The educational experiment New England began when for the first time in human history she undertook by public authority to extend ele- mentary education to all her children. It was in 1647 that Massachusetts ordered that "every township after the Lord hath increased them to the number of fifty householders shall appoint one to teach all children to read and write; and where any town shall increase to the number of one hun- dred families, they shall set up a grammar school, the masters thereof being able to instruct youth so far as they may be fitted for the university." The early experiments were slight, the results were nothing great, but the idea and the method were there, the intent and the persistence were there; and the common school, established by law and maintained out of public revenues, has been set up in every commonwealth of this Union. It is the corner stone upon which is reared a structure of education that includes in most states the high school and in many the state university. One of

the accepted things of our country, this New England plan of universal instruction by public authority and at public expense has now become one of the accepted things of France also, and of England. It will soon be one of the accepted things of Italy and of Spain, of South America and of the Eastern world. I do not suppose that the most optimistic man in Boston two cen- turies ago could have contemplated the possibility of a system of elementary education maintained at tax-payers' expense and substantially uniform over a continent, to say nothing of a civilized world. But that is what has grown out of the Puritan Ordinance of 1647.
Next to our English speech and its matchless literature, our noblest heritage from our mother- land is our common law. I do not suppose that the most optimistic of all the men that came to colonial America could have imagined that in two and a half centuries a population of one hundred million souls, occupying a stretch of continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific and differing over a thousand things, would, never- theless, be in agreement upon one, and that no less a matter than their fundamental scheme of legal rights and public duties. Yet this has been
284
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
achieved, and largely, I venture to think, because New England, not always law abiding herself, nevertheless from the earliest days strongly believed and insistently taught not only that it is more expedient and more self-respecting to live within the law and to carry on a collective struggle for existence in an orderly fashion but also (and this is my main point) that it is possible by teaching and the pressure of public opinion to make practically all citizens of a democratic com- munity acknowledge this civic principle, and to make most of them understand it. It was a bold faith, but has it not been justified in its fruits? Together with the common school, the tradition of legality and of a social order founded in legality, of local liberty and rights of property safeguarded by due process of law, has become one of the things of course in our American civilization. And because it has, we are able today, looking forth upon the social turmoil of a depleted and distracted world and facing a flood of revolutionary ideas, without alarm or faltering to say: "Let us hear every criticism of estab- lished institutions that the disaffected can think of, but let the disaffected take notice and remem- ber that the trying out of their notions in so far
285
OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
as they may now or hereafter be put to experi- mental test shall not be by the methods that were attempted of late by the Boston police, not by the direct action beloved of anarchism, but shall be by due process of law."
When New England began experimenting with town meetings, democracy on the great scale had not existed in the world, and throughout Europe it was discredited as of doubtful worth, even in local affairs. New England believed that it could successfully be extended and be made both strong enough for defense and en- lightened enough and just enough to make men free. Today a population of one hundred million souls is conducting its public affairs by methods rooted in universal suffrage, and America is in fact a democracy, as distinguished from class rule.
This proposition, unhappily, requires explana- tion. As my observation goes, the elements of unrest in our country, the anarchistic and revolu- tionary groups, and such organizations as the Industrial Workers of the World, are ignorant of what democracy is. They conceive of it either as the overthrow of all government or as the sub- stitution of rule by the proletariat for the rule of
286
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
a class-possessing property. Most of them, doubt- less, think of it as the substitution of proletarian rule for capitalistic rule. Frankly they avow their determination to make the substitution, to destroy an old order of society by violent revolution, and to set up in place of it a syndicalistic communism.
There is this much justification for their think- ing. Until America successfully experimented with democracy, every government in the world was class rule of one or another kind. It was the rule of a priesthood, as in Egypt; or of a powerful ecclesiastical organization, like the Christian church of the Middle Ages; or of a local theocracy, like the earliest Puritan group in Massachusetts; or it was the rule of a royal family, as all the great monarchies have been; or the rule of a land- lord class, as feudalism was; or the rule of organ- ized industrial and commercial interests, as the government of England at times has been; or it has been the lawless rule of the proletarian mob or commune or soviet, as once it was in revolu- tionary France and as now it is in revolutionary Russia.
In distinction from every kind of class rule, democracy is the political organization of an entire population. It comprises all elements, all
287
OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
classes, and expresses the mind of all individuals. In a democracy each duly qualified elector votes as an individual, according to his own intelligence and his own conscience, and not as a member of a church, as the first Puritans did; nor as a mem- ber of a propertied class, as the people of Rhode Island long did; nor as a member of any business organization, or of a trade union, or of any other group whatsoever. Democracy says that an entire population politically organized is greater than any part of it, and is supreme. By due process of law it determines what persons may vote, when they may vote, and by what methods. It declares that the interest of the whole people is higher than the interest of privilege, a declaration that the Bills of Rights of Massachusetts and Virginia made explicit; that it is higher than any ecclesiastical interest, a declaration which the federal Constitution has made explicit; that it is higher than any trade, labor, or professional interest, a declaration that Governor Coolidge lately made explicit and that the American people with unmistakable voice have confirmed. Such is the democracy that for more than one hundred years we have been creating in America. Such is the democracy that we shall continue to develop
288
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
and to protect. It is the will of a nation, con- scious of itself, organized as political power, and deriving its authority from individual minds and consciences, freely voting as they see fit.
Her fourth great social experiment (fourth in logical enumeration but chronologically earlier) New England ventured when, in 1643, in dark hours of Indian war, the four colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and New Haven bound themselves to one another in a league of representative democracies as the United Colonies of New England. Within this confederation the four constituent members were of equal power, but war expenses, it was agreed, should be apportioned according to the number of male inhabitants in each colony, a compromise that was destined to become the corner stone of our federal Constitution. And this league was for more than war, as appears in the highly signifi- cant further agreement that the judgments of the courts of law and probates of wills in each colony were to receive full faith and credit in every other.
That New England league endured for fifty years. It was the model from which Benjamin Franklin in 1754 drew the outlines of his plan for a union of all the colonies, which, twenty years
289
OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
later, was achieved in the Revolutionary con- federation. From the elements of the confedera- tion Hamilton and his co-workers wrought the enduring structure of our federal Constitution.
Let us admit that there were weaknesses in that great instrument. It left vital questions unanswered. Back of it lay differences of thought and of tradition, and of economic interest, which divided South from North. And so it caine to pass that only through sorrow was understanding reached, and only by the dice of war was made decision upon which a future could be built. The decision was accepted. The Constitution, strong and elastic, as time has proven, is the compre- hensive political organization of forty-eight com- monwealths, among which is distributed, as their population, an indivisible American people. It is the organization of our co-operation, and it has enabled us to do marvelous things. Need we say more of it than that, under its authority and within its powers, a nation unprepared for war was able within one year to draft, equip, and drill, and send across the seas, a fighting army of two million men ?
With these four experiments before us, we, the American people, with our inheritance of common
290
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
and commingled blood, of one language and of one literature, of one legal tradition, and sharers in a glorious history, face a future full of the most perplexing problems that ever have vexed the soul of man. We shall be told that it is useless to try to uplift the human race, that the task is too great, too costly, and too discouraging, that some men of each breed can be educated, but not all. We shall be told that it is impossible to solve all problems by due process of law; that law is slow, not always just, not always practical; and that there are times when the conscientious man must ask himself whether he will be bound by the letter of the law or not. We shall be told that democracy is impractical, a dream, a vision not to be realized in a world of human beings that are by no means all men of character, by no means all men of intelligence. And, finally, we shall be told that already the nations are too large, and political organization unwieldy. Why, then, we shall be asked, dream of a federation of the world? How believe that by a league of nations war can be prevented ?
The answer to these objections and these questions is simple and it is this: these things
291
OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
were dreams, once. But dreamed they were, three centuries ago; and the dreaming fired imagi- nation and imagination quickened thought. Of thought experiment was born, and generation by generation successful experiment has made con- verts, until today we of the New England strip may challenge the world to show that, in all human history from its beginnings in Egypt and in Babylonia down to the present hour, any other four ideas have in the same length of time won as many converts or achieved so much.
Why, then, lose faith? Why, then, of all people in the world, should we of America lose faith, as from time to time we keep the anniver- saries of our inheritance ?
I never see one of our tall steel buildings rising skyward without finding myself contemplating in fascination its essential structure. What is it ? That structure is a towering frame of steel, it is a thing of posts and girders bolted and riveted. The enclosing walls of brick are but a mere pro- tection from the weather. They support nothing; they are supported. Between the floors are put coarse fireproofing materials, cinders, cement, and gravel. And when the floors are laid and
292
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
the steel is walled in, all manner of things go into the interior. There are put tiling, and wood that is but tinder, then paint and varnish. But the paint and the varnish are not the structure. The inflammable wood is not the structure. The coarse materials between the floors, the walls of brick, are not the structure. The structure is that riveted frame of steel.
Into the building of our nation has gone tempered steel, steel smelted in human suffering and rolled in the disciplining mills of God. It is the tested steel of the character, the intelligence, the faith, of Englishmen, of Scotchmen, of Hu- guenots, of Hollanders-character, intelligence, and faith selected from all the world for strength, for daring, and for endurance. Of that steel are the posts and the girders of the framework of our nation, bolted by hardship and riveted by war. Revolution may rock it. It may sway in the wrath of political storm. Earthquakes of calam- ity may shake it, or the red flare of anarchism may sear it. But fires will die down, the storm will abate, revolutions will fail, and our structure of steel will stand in its majesty throughout cen- turies to come, as it has stood through the centuries that are passed.

STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, December 17, 1919
Reverend William Way, President New England Society Charleston, S.C.
MY DEAR MR. WAY:
Your very kind invitation to attend the banquet cele- brating the one hundredth anniversary of your Society is received, for which I thank you. I should especially be pleased to visit Charleston. The early colonial and revo- lutionary history of Massachusetts and South Carolina was very marked by their co-operation with each other and it is my sincere desire that this ancient friendship and co-operation may always remain. There is more and more a tendency to forget our location and remember that we are all Americans. This should not, however, diminish the pride that New England has in its achieve- ments, nor the pride that South Carolina has in its own glorious history. If your Society can convey to your fellow-citizens in Charleston the sentiment of high regard which we here feel for them, you will be performing a most patriotic service.
Very truly yours, CALVIN COOLIDGE
The following is an editorial written by Robert Lathan and published in the Charleston News and Courier, December 24, 1919:
297
OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
' A WORTHY CELEBRATION
The centennial exercises just completed by the New England Society of Charleston have been in all respects worthy of the Society's high aims and splendid traditions. Professor Giddings said at the Victory Theater Sunday night that in his judgment the completion of its hundredth year by a New England Society in Charleston is one of the most striking facts in American history. Mr. Mel- ville E. Stone, of the Associated Press, following the visit which he paid to Charleston some years ago when he was the principal speaker at one of the New England annual dinners, declared that the fact that this Society continued its existence throughout the war between the states and that without the loss of a single member, was to his mind a singularly impressive thing. This was the only New England society in the South, it is interesting to learn, which, having been founded prior to the war between the states, outlasted the struggle.
There are many notable features about the history of the New England Society of Charleston. The book which Mr. Way has written concerning it will unquestion- ably be an exceptionally valuable contribution to the social history of this community. In the hundred years of its existence the New England Society of Charleston has included in its membership many of the men whose names and records are numbered by the discerning as Charleston's richest possession. Its leaders have been leaders, many of them-not only in Charleston, but in the nation-in literature, in science, in art, in theology, in government, and in business.
Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell in his brief remarks at the dinner Monday evening suggested that, so far as he knew,
298
THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
the New England Society was the first organization of its kind in Charleston to bring to this city distinguished speakers from a distance for its annual affairs. In the half-century and more that this custom has obtained, some very great men have spoken under the auspices of the New England Society here and some very memorable utterances have been delivered. Daniel Webster in the height of his fame welcomed the opportunity to speak on one of these occasions, and in later years men like William Everett, Charles Francis Adams, and George Frisbie Hoar came to Charleston at the invitation of the New England Society that they might bring here messages which echoed throughout the South and the nation.
The New England Society of Charleston has every right to be proud of the record it has made for itself in the first century of its existence. It can and should play an even larger part in the affairs of this community and section in the years that lie ahead.
