We want a Committee of a Hundred Thousand. We are proposing to gather a Look-Up Committee of a hundred thousand men of constructive imagination in business and other callings, in ten thousand cities, who will work out together and place before the people, plans and specifications of what this nation proposes to be like a picture of what a hundred million people want.
I do not undertake to say just what each member of the Look-Up Club will undertake to do with news when he receives it.
He chafed at her containment, at her courage, her silence, her withholding the brazen or the fawnish look-up, either of which he would have hated. He, however, was dragged to look down. Neither Gorgon nor Venus, nor a mingling of them, she had the chasm of the face, recalling the face of his bondage, seen first that night at Baden.
For the present she remains at the house. There is Mrs. Hume, and all the old servants. We shall see what is to be done, later. You might run over and give her a look-up, though." "I will, sir! Good-bye." "Good-bye," said Dr. Cairn, and pressed the bell which summoned Marston to usher out the caller, and usher in the next patient.
Other members will of course be nominated by members of the Air Line League in their respective communities and everybody who is invited to nominate for the Look-Up section of the Air Line League will be asked to nominate in three lists those he thinks of as representing invention in the nation at large, those he knows or deals with in his own business or line of activity all over the country, who have creative imagination or power of discovery and planning ideas, and those he knows in his own home-community that he and his neighbors would like to see in the Look-Up Club, on the nation's honor roll of men of vision in the nation representing his own community.
What the Air Line League proposes to do is to act particularly through the Look-Up Club as the American Shipping Experience Company. This book is itself so far as it goes, a dramatization of the idea of the Look-Up Club.
Our first news-service will be planned to increase production, decrease the cost of living, stop strikes and lockouts, drive out civil war and substitute coöperation as a means of getting things in American life. Every man who is nominated to membership in the Look-Up Club naturally asks four questions. How can I belong? What does it cost? What do I undertake to do for the Club?
This is one of the first things the Look-Up Club is for, to get people to be inspired by a hundred thousand men put together, in the same way that they are by a hundred thousand dollars put together.
The way to be national is to be personal, for each man to take sides with the best in himself. Suddenly across a nation we look in a hundred thousand faces. Why the Look-Up Club Looks Up. The Constitution does not provide for an Imagination Department for the United States Government.
If a hundred thousand picked men in this country in all walks of life all get the same news the same week, and then use the news the week they get it, and put it where other people will use it, we will all know and everybody else will know what the Look-Up Club is for. We will be carrying out in the Look-Up Club what might be called a selective draft of vision.
