A voice from the past

On my recent wanderings on the wibbly wobbly woo I came across this.

(from Phil Parkers flickr photostream)
The most interesting bit is the last paragraph, which, while incomplete is still as true today as it was when written 75 years ago.

'It is felt that, although a great deal is to be said for the "dead true scale" basis of modeling, yet how easy it is overlooked that, just as oak trees grow from small acorns, so does the fuller realisation of true scale modelling grows from humbler efforts. hence it behoves us all to remember that no effort is so poor that there is not some point worth passing on to those who are striving after the same ideals.'

Apart from the wonderful and true philosophy behind the statement, isn't it a shame the loss of the english language.
