Away back in the days of the Rppian empire, when the Caesars were worded by a steadily rising tax rate and a slow stagnation of business, the populace was kept quiet by a judicious mixture of bread and games. The government undertook to feed the hungry, bringing in great shiploads of wheat from Alexandria. And since Rome was full of un employed, great gladiatorial shows were staged frequently in the coliseum, to keep the proletariat's mind off its troubles. . The upshot, as everybody knows, was that nobody worried1 abput anything and the cmpjre finally collapsed of its own weight. All this ancient history is mentioned here because there are people wjio think something similar is happening in America today. A (president of one of our large universities ,tol a teachers' convention tlje other day that right now we are in a fair way to slide down to the old Roman level.' On one hand we have vast masses of people whose first interest is in getting enough j;o eat, and who are looking to the fed eral government to meet that need. 0n the other, we have developed a craving for a circus type of entertainment world series games, great football contests, aberrations such as marathon dance contests, crooners, fan dancers and pro fessional boxing and wrestling mutches. The result, says the professor, is that we are apt to forget tho values that really matter self-denial, service, idealism, a taste for literature and art, and so on. There is no question that you could make out a good case for pessimism, if you chose. , We do support a lot of "enter tainments" that seem to have been drawn up by and for morons. And yet it is very easy to assume that these things matter more than really is the case. There is plenty of froth on the surface of American life, heaven knows. But beneath it all there flows a swift, deep, and powerful current an awareness of life's real problems, a determination to do something effective about them, an idealism that will respond whenever anyone makes a proper appeal to it. . . . . The biggest mistake anyone could make today would be to assume that the great mass of the populace is heedless and flippant. Underneath, there is a driving force and a seriousness of purpose that never should lie forgotten. The latest NRA story concerns tho sad fate of a man who was given Tuesday off as a result of the five-day week and his wife changed wash day to Tuesday.
