Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players assume the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay. [THQ]

In every enlightened country the value of popular education is fullyrecognized, not only as a direct benefit to its recipients, but as anelement of strength and safety in organized society. Considered in theseaspects it should nowhere be better appreciated than in this land offree institutions consecrated to the welfare and happiness of itscitizens, and deriving its sanction and its power from the people. Herethe character of the people is inevitably impressed upon the government,and here our public life can no more be higher and purer than the lifeof the people, than a stream can rise above its fountain or be purerthan the spring in which it has its source.
And yet if we are to create good citizenship, which is the object ofpopular education, and if we are to insure to the country the fullbenefit of public instruction, we can by no means consider the work ascompletely done in the schoolroom. While the young gathered there arefitting themselves to assume in the future their political obligations,[Pg 141]there are others upon whom these obligations already rest, and who nowhave the welfare and safety of the country in their keeping. Our work isbadly done if these are neglected. They have passed the school age, andhave perhaps availed themselves of free instruction; but they, as wellas those still in the school, should, nevertheless, have within theirreach the means of further mental improvement and the opportunity ofgaining that additional knowledge and information which can only besecured by access to useful and instructive books.
The husbandman who expects to gain a profitable return from hisorchards, not only carefully tends and cultivates the young trees in hisnurseries as they grow to maturity but he generously enriches and caresfor those in bearing and upon which he must rely for ripened fruit.
These considerations, and the fact that many among us having the abilityand inclination to read are unable to furnish themselves with profitableand wholesome books amply justify the beneficient mission of our FreeCirculating Library. Its plan and operation, so exactly adjusted to meeta situation which cannot safely be ignored and to wants which ought notto be neglected, establish its claim upon the encouragement andreasonable aid of the public authorities and commend it most fully tothe support and generosity of private benefaction.
The demonstration is at hand. Let it be pressed upon our fellowcitizens, and let them be shown the practical operation of the projectyou have in hand and the good it has accomplished, and the further goodof which it is capable through their increased liberality, and it willbe strange if they fail to respond generously to your appeal to put thecity of New York in the front rank of the cities which have recognizedthe usefulness of the free circulating libraries.
Mr. Everett's conservatism doubted the wisdom of these principles forthe foundation of a library: but they are essentially those which haveproved sound in the free library system of England and New England, ofAustralia and the Northwestern cities. In the light of fifty years'experience, indeed, Everett's skepticism reads like Governor Berkeley'sreport on education in Virginia, in which he thanked God that there wereno free schools in Virginia and hoped that there would be none for a[Pg 177]hundred years. The communities in which libraries, approaching GeorgeTicknor's ideal, have been longest established, would do without pavedstreets or electric lights sooner than without these libraries, and theysupport them by taxation as cheerfully as the public schools. Indeed,the free library in not a few communities is reckoned an invaluable andindispensable adjunct of the public school, the very crown of the systemof popular education. Such librarians as Green of Worcester,Massachusetts, and Whitney of Watertown, and Hosmer of Minneapolis, keepin touch with the work of the schools, and apprize the various classesof pupils of new books especially valuable for their work. More thanthis, they have regard to the needs of the various clubs, trades, andprofessions, and keep their members aware of valuable books in theirspecial departments. But perhaps the most helpful service of all isrendered by capable librarians in the constant advice given toinexperienced readers, and the frequent bulletins sent out to stimulatethe interest and instruct the intelligence of the community. It is ofspecial interest to note that the demand for good reading has beengreatly increased wherever the public library has been administered inthis way. Indeed, booksellers and proprietary libraries have come tofavor the opening of the free library as largely increasing the demandfor their books.
This rapid and wonderful transformation has been the work of human handsguided by intelligent brains and an indomitable spirit of pluck andperseverance. We are accustomed to think of this combination as purelyAmerican. In many of its characteristics it certainly is so. And in norespect more distinctively so than in the cause in which we are mostinterested. Not all the older commonwealths, even on this side of theAtlantic, have yet accepted the theory that the education of the citizenis the concern of the state. But in all this newer portion of ourcountry this doctrine has been incorporated into the fundamental law.The ordinance of 1787 for the government of the territory northwest ofthe Ohio river declared that for obvious reasons schools and the meansof education shall be forever encouraged. The twenty states noworganized within this and the subsequently acquired territory to thewestward have all accepted to the fullest extent the doctrine of theordinance. They have not only carried it into practical effect bygeneral laws providing for free public schools for children, foruniversities and institutions of higher learning for the education ofyouth, but have also provided for the establishment and maintenance offree public libraries at the general expense and for the common use ofall the people.
While it may be true, in a certain sense, that socialists andcommunists approve the public library because it appears to give themsomething which they desire at the public cost, that scheme, on its trueground, is as far removed as possible from any such theory ofmaintenance by the state. The essential principle of communism is thatthe members of the community shall hold their property in common for thecommon use and benefit. This principle flourished in the villagecommunity in which each individual was allotted his certain proportionof the lands owned in common. There are at this day a sporadic few whoadvocate government ownership of railroads, and some would even includeall the great instrumentalities of commerce and production. But therational majority hold that the state of society is best which makes theindividual a free and independent member of the community. His ambitionsand energies are best stimulated by his opportunities to prosper forhimself. Civilization and enlightenment are advanced by the efforts of[Pg 247]the master spirits of the race. The only demand which the individual canjustly make on the community, with its government as the common agent ofall, is that it shall not merely protect him in his rights as a free andindependent citizen, but that it shall assure him the opportunities forthe fullest exercise of his talents, and shall also, as a measure ofcommon interest, provide the facilities for his very highest mentalequipment. In this latter service of the state there is nothing whateverof the communistic idea.
