Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remember William Penn: 1644-1944 Whereas, The tercentenary is also an appropriate time to study anew the writings and accomplishments of this great man who ex erted so positive a force in the record of human progress, contributing to the basic thought underlying much of our present educational philosophy and to the development of that great charter of our Ameri can liberties, the Constitution oi the United States; Now, Therefore, I, Edward Martin, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, both in accordance with the spirit of the Act of June 22, 1931, and in especial recognition of this the three hundredth anni versary of his birth, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, October 24, 1944, as william penn day, and call upon the schools and all Other public agencies and institutions and all the historical, patriotic, Civic, and other organizations of the Commonwealth to conduct appropriate exercises and undertake such other Observances as may seem fitting to their needs and Circumstances and which will suitably recognize and pay tribute to the memory of the Quaker Founder of Pennsylvania. I further call upon all of the Citizens of this Commonwealth, andindeed upon all free men wherever they may be, to pause at some time during this year to study and contemplate the life and the princi ples of this truly great statesman who did so much to establish our heritage of Justice, Tolerance and Freedom.
