91.2.142Description
Only by observing the day-by-day doings of people can we know what manner of people they are. Only by observing them at their daily tasks can we begin to appreciate their real problems. The few representatives of the populace who occasionally play great parts in the public eye are no picture of the common run of humanity. Public speakers and writers of state papers do not always tell all they know - in their public utterances. In wartime this is doubly true.
