Instructions
Such    was    the    national    mood    in    early    1976    that    plans    for    a    mammoth    celebration    of    the    bicentennial    in    Philadelphia    had    been    quietly  .    But    when    the    Fourth    of    July    1976    came    round    things    did    not    seem    so    gloomy    .    So    up    and    down    the    country    they    celebrated.    There    were    parades,    there    were    speeches,    there    were    picnics,    there    were    fireworks.    The    flag    waved    everywhere,    and    everywhere    people    their    brains    for    permanently    useful    schemes,    such    as    the    restoration    of    old    buildings    or    the    opening    of    new    parks,    with    which    to    mark    the    bicentennial.    And    by    a    of    real    genius,    the    last    great    sailing-ships    of    the    world    were    called    to    New    York    harbour,    a    summer    parade    of    dizzy    and    clouds    of    white    canvas,    to    express    by    their    beauty    some    of    the    faith    in    themselves,    their    past    and    their    future    which    the    American    people    were    renewing.    The    whole    affair    was    exactly    the    tonic    for    the    national    that    was    needed.
