TIU5 OLOHY OF CJOD And tho Word was made flesh, and
dwelt anions um, (anil wo beheld bin glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of tho Father,) full of graeo mid truth. John
1:14.
Nobody seems to care about the price of cotton stockings.
Some husbands are happy, other's wives won't slay home
alone.
LITERARY ADVANCEMENT ,
European writers visiting the United States are struck
with the excellent standard of books that Americans gener
ally seem to be reading. When the British find evidence of
a trace of culture in America, iiatives need have no doubt
that it exists.
These authors nYay be somewhat prejudiced because of
tho popularity their own works enjoy on this side of the
Atlantic. But the fact remains that the publishing business
in the United States was never more flourishing, nor liter
ary output at higher level by critical standards, than is the
case at present.
It has become quite conymonplaco for card parties to be
prefaced, or even interrupted, by lively discussions of a
bookish character. And social onus no longer rests on the
"highbrow" who enjoys his reading, but rather on the person
who used toclaim with pride he had no time to waste on
literary browsing. - '
Speculation on the causes of this change is interesting.
National prosperity would not alone account for the qualita
tive as well as the quantitative improvement in reading.
The glowing demand for longer leisure periods, the spreading
prejudice against the old idea that an American lives for
routine work alone, are doubtless factors. But whatever the
cause, an increased interest in ideas for themselves, regard
less of their economic application, is now obvious. And when
a democracy which has no narrow "reading class" lakes up
the art progress is rapid.
Who would have thought a quarter century ago that philo
sophy and biography would ever become popular mental diet
for the average American?
NEW INTELLECTUAL CENTERS
New contenders are coming to the front for the honor of
being the nation's intellectual center. These contenders are
the federal penitentiaries, described as being among the
world's most brilliant intellectual colonies under the reign
of Volstead and rascality.
These federal prisons may be all this and a lot more, but
they somehow lack the atmosphere which is so necessary for
a successful club. True, the perfect clubman of tradition
never moves from his easy chair, but there is a certain dif
ference between compulsory and voluntary fixity that makes
the majority of men prefer the latter.
Not even their brilliance is likely to start a rush for mem
bership in these colonies of best minds. It may be comfort
ing to know, however, that if life's path should lead there
tummiuiiH win ue lounu 10 ne meal, but there are compensa
tions elsewhere that make up for the lack of intellectual
brilliance which Mr. Hoover's hoosegows possess.
What is now being said in their praise may change the
national viewpoint. The day may come when the newer
intelligentsia will feel that existence can not be complete
without the kinship of the kindred spirits momentarily the
guests of theii government. It has been said that the dis
grace is not in the crime but in the imprisonment. And now
even that disgrace is being stamped out.
