It requires no'great power of prophecy to be able to predict that the time will surely come when the American people-its thinking portion at least-will recognize that the quiet little Calvin Coolidge, late president of the United States, was in truth and in fact a splendid philosopher. Just as one sample of his surprising wisdom, consider the following from Mr. Coolidge:

"'We do not need more material development, we need more spiritual development. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character. We do not need more government, we need more culture. We do not need more law, we need more religion. ![fe do not need more

HATTY of the things that are seenr we need more of the things that are unseen.

"There is in the people themselves the power to put forth great men. There is in the soul of the nation a reserve for responding to the call of high ideals, to nobility of action, which has never yet been put forth. There is no problem so great but that somewhere a man is being raised to meet it."

Those paragraphs alone have sufficient quality and depth to make a man famous as a thinker. And Mr. Coolidge wrote many such.

In a Parade of Homes, the exhibit houses are built side-by-side on one street where all of them can convenientlv be inspected at one time.
