Excerpt from The Story of Our Navy In these days, when efficiency is demanded in every occupation, young readers can readily understand that, where forces are even, Victories in war come about, as a rule, not because one Side is so much braver or more patriotic than the other, but because one Side does better thinking and better Shooting. Now the modern historical spirit is based upon research and guided by impartial inquiry, and the application of modern methods gives a broader View than the Older' naval histories which emphasized blood and smoke and victory, and exalted one side at the expense of the other. The modern view-point adds much to the picture, for it shows not only the pre-eminent influence of brains, science, discipline, and target practice, but also the vital importance of freedom from political influence, and the high part which sea power plays in general history. It is certain that the splendid record of our navy will gain in brilliancy when set against the larger background.
