' gli. wmld ' First Prize Essay It is a natural instinct in men to wish to progress. Always, man has been going torwardg but it is hard to go forward in rapid strides when one is hampered by a tyrannical ruler. F or this reason, the United States, which is a nation of free peo- ple, boasts constantly of the ability of its citizens to progress: to invent, to build, and to perfect.
