The Wise tlr. Coolidge
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. 
"This year's 10th anniversary of National Home Week will show the people of the United States the finest houses in the world. With the intense public interest in new homes we expect record-breaking turn-outs everywhere," said Severin.
Special plans by manufacturers and distributors of materials and equipment going into new homes are expected to be devoted this year to the Week. These will take the form of national advertising, TV and radio broadcasts and other special promotions, making NHW one of the biggest business observances on record.
