No Loss Of Color Or Design Or Lettering. Ownership Signatures Of Prof. Estelle A. C. Cross Of Los Angeles. Per Wikipedia, John Clarke Stobart ( 1878 – 1933), Commonly Known As J. C. Stobart, Was A Classical Scholar, A University Of Cambridge Lecturer, An Hm Inspector Of Schools And The Bbc's First Director Of Education. After The War, He Helped Organize The 1924 British Empire Exhibition At Wembley And In 1925 Joined The Bbc As Its First Director Of Education. He Was Responsible For Two Long-Lasting Programs, Children's Hour And The Epilogue And According To One Source Suggested The Bbc's Motto, 'Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation]'. He Also Proposed Creating A New Cultural Network, To Be Named The Minerva Programme, After The Roman Goddess Of Wisdom, But This Idea Was Turned Down And Was Not Realised Until The Creation Of 'The Third Programme' At The End Of The Second World War. Stobart Became Well-Known All Over The World For His Regular New Year's Eve Broadcast, 'The Grand Good-Night'. He Disagrees With Edward Gibbon's Pessimistic View Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, Pointing Out That 'The Mere Notion Of Empire Continuing To Decline And Fall For Five Centuries Is Ridiculous' And Remarking That 'This Is One Of The Cases Which Prove That History Is Made Not So Much By Heroes Or Natural Forces As By Historians', Since 'If All The Roman Historians Had Perished And Only The Inscriptions Remained We Should Have A Very Different Picture Of The Roman Empire, A Picture Much Brighter And, I Think, Much More Faithful To Truth.' He Admires The Romans For Their Law, Discipline, Engineering And Especially Their Sanitation, But It Is Clear That He Prefers The Greeks For Their Art, Philosophy, Mathematics And Literature.…
