France has always been a great civilizer. She has given man- ners to the world. Her people em- braced Christianity when "our fathers worshipped stock and stones." She was foremost among the nations to be inspired with the divine folly of chivalry.. She, with America in her hand, was the first to turn at the mile-post of democracy and begin the arduons race for equal rights and mutual sacrifice in human society.
