Mrs. C. H. Perrigo and daughter Ixiri arrived Friday from Astoria Reading, Writing, Man’s Greatest Work In spite of the won<lerful pro fusion in this confused and ex citing world of ours, when re- <’uce«l to its elem ents, there is ju st one great thing in life, man. And in spite of m an’s com plexity there is one sim ple secret to his greatness, his mind. And though it may seem to you a devastating task to choo.se from am ong all the w’onderful things that man has done, the one best evidence of the grandeur of m an’s mind, the choice to me is simple. For I share with Carlyle tb? judgm ent that surely the art of w riting is the greatest among the miraculous things tb? hum an mind has de vised. All the distinguished things w hkh are discovered in the hu mane tradition and all the com forts which characterise modern civilization, an«i all of the« in tri cacies which are a part of modern governm ent; and all of the beau ties an«l terrors of m«xlcrn science are children of the hum an mind. But the mind of man is lo«lged in a frail, ephem eral tabernacle. If it wen? necessary for the fresh minds by personal experience to learn all that the race has known, with no help from the past, no substantial progress for civili zation would be possible. Not until some ingenious mind grasped the possibility of storing up the thoughts of men in w rit ing and preserving it on the lea ves of bound volumes was there any way system atically to build, step by step, generation upon generation, and to make a living and im m ortal social memory by which each new generation could profit from all that was signifi cant that had transpired before. to heli» her father Frank T.

But even the invention of w rit ing was not enough. When one says that man is the only great thing, he must say all men share in that greatness. And when he < iscovers in the mind of man the one real seret of his greatness, he must recognise that the mind is a characteristic of all men, and not just some; and that good minds are not the monopoly of a limited class of people, hut occur among all. If, therefore, w riting is the greatest trium ph of the hum an mind, it may lx? taken for g ran t ed that gifted minds among an underprivileged class would even tually discover its importance, and the corollary value of the ability to read. It was, therefore, inevitable that good minds, w he ther they i>e possessed of wealth or not, would finally insist upon the advantages of literacy, and that tiie availability of printing would ultim ately make general literacy inevitable. Once w riting was so highly valued, good minds were certain to demand the op portunity to read; and if men with good minds lacked the wealth ne cssary to buy Ixioks, some means by which they could use them would of necessity lie invented. Given printing, there fore, libraries would follow' as the night the day. And, Indeed, I think it is true that the existence of circulating libraries has lieen the key to a widely dissem inated knowledge. Widely dissem inated knowledge and the easy access to the world of Ideas is the distin guished characteristic of th at part of W estern Civilization which is America.
