Herbert HooverLet us not forget that the value of this great system does not lie primarily in its extent or even in its efficiency. Its worth depends on the use that is made of it...

An obligation rests on us to see that it is devoted to real service and to develop the material that is transmitted into that which is really worthwhile.
