Hence the Look-Up Club coöperating with the Try-Out Club to act as an informal Imagination Department for the United States. I + You = We. If Darius the Great had put the eunuchs of his court in charge as Special Commissioners for controlling the social evil in Babylon, they would have made very sad work of what they had to do because they would not have understood what it was all about.
I might illustrate the need the Look-Up Club is planned to meet and how it would operate by suggesting what the Club might do with a particular idea an idea on which people must really be got together in America before long, if we are to keep on being a nation at all. Millions of American laborers go to bed every night and get up every morning saying:
You are perfectly capable of deciding for yourself, Maria." "I trust so," she replied. "There's George with your horse now." "It's a blue look-up, Master Hycy," said Clinton to himself as he took his way to Burke's. "I think you have but little chance in that quarter, oh, most accomplished Hycy, and indeed I am not a whit sorry; but should be very much so were it otherwise."

The first and second cutters, the launch, and the steam pinnace were each provisioned and sent away to scout along the coast independently of each other, watching for dhows and any suspicious craft we might see making from the mainland for the islands, having orders to capture or destroy such as we found carrying slaves; the Mermaid, our foster- mother, giving us a look-up in turn at our respective stations, to see how we were getting on, and supply us with any stores we might need in the grub and water line.
The men who have created already the values of five thousand cities, shall now create values for a nation. I am not writing to people to the hundred thousand men who are going to be nominated to the Look-Up Club to ask them whether they think this idea of mine of having the first hundred thousand men of vision of this country in a Club, is going through or not.
But come, Eva," he said; and taking the hand of his daughter, he stepped across the boat, and carelessly putting the tip of his finger under Tom's chin, said, good-humoredly, "Look-up, Tom, and see how you like your new master." Tom looked up.
The Look-Up Club is a Publicity and Educational Organization for the purpose of focusing and mobilizing the vision of the people acting as a clearing house of the vision of the people gathering, coördinating, pooling and determining and distributing the main points in their order of what the American people believe.
