FRANK PARKER
STOCKBRIDeEkS:
"Marginal" . . questioned
We have been hearing a lot in
late years about "marginal lands"
and the folly of farming them. I
wonder sometimes If that is not a
false point of view.
Around my country home in the
Berkshires there are plenty of
farms which any economist would
class as "marginal." They do not
and cannot produce cash crops big
enough to bring In much more than
the taxes. Yet they are occupied,
for the greater part, by contented
even happy farm families. They
get a living, and a good one, from
the land. Farming, to these folks,
is not an industrial or commercial
enterprise, but a mode of living, in
independence and security.
I know of no farmer who looks
at his problems that way, even on
these decidedly marginal" New
England farms, who is in real dis
tress.
Mines . . . swimming hole
Last Sunday I drove over to York
State, past the remnants of a dis
tinctly "marginal" enterprise. That
was the old Williams iron mine.
Back before the Revolution the
colonists were digging iron ore out
of the mountains of western Mass
achusetts. The mines were operated
and the ore smelted at nearby
Richmond Furnace, for more than
150 years. Then the cheapest iron
ore in the world was discovered in
Minnesota.
The old Williams iron mine is
full of water now. Local tradition
has it that there is no bottom. That
isn't true, of course, but there is
200 feet or more of water under the
boys who go swimming there.
Unlike a marginal farm, nobody
can get a living out of a marginal
Iron mine.
Change will come
Any plan of social-economic
planning which would fix every
thing as it is would be silly. I got
to thinking over the changes in one
New England county.
A mile from my farm is the old
Freedlyvllle marble quarry, which
produced most of the fine building
stone for the Eastern cities when I
was a boy. It shut down1 forty
years ago, when bigger veins of bet
ter marble were found in Vermont
Two or three miles away the first
wood-pulp paper was made the
year I was born, and for a century
almost all the writing paper used
In America was made in our valley.
We no longer make wood-pulp, and
half the writing-paper mills are
shut down.
Up to four years ago we were
shipping a quarter of a million dol
lars worth of lime every year. Now
we don't ship a carload a month.
Better limestone, easier to quarry,
In other places, is the answer.
One of the reasons why I have
little faith In the permanency of any
plan of building model towns
around particular industries is that
I have seen too many communities
fall Into decay when the march of
progress moves in another direction.
Men .... some marginal
I wonder if a good deal of thel
world's trouble is not due so much
to "marginal" agriculture and "mar
ginal" industry, as to what might
be called "marginal" men.
I meet a lot of them. In a crowd
they pass for average, Intelligent
human beings. Individually, there
Is something lacking. They are too
content merely to "get by." They
are too eager to accept money or
help that they have not earned.
They are not quite skilful enough
to be worth top pay In any line, but
believe themselves to be superior
to most.
A large part of the agitation for
a more equal distribution of wealth
comes, I believe, from these "mar
ginal men" who do not quite fit into
the general scheme of things.
Pacifism
old warrior
In my youth it was every Ameri
can boy's ambition to be a soldier.
We felt we did not have to be
taught that the noblest purpose
to which a citizen could devote his
life was to fight for his native land
and its ideals. Every boy who could,
at least among those I knew, joined
some sort of a quasl-mllltary or
ganization, learned to drill and to
handle a rifle. That, we felt was
the duty of a patriot.
Today, I am often aghast at the
expressions of contempt for na
tional honor and the duty of citi
zens to fight for It, which I hear
from young men. I read of preach
ers and teachers counseling non-
resistance and refusal to bear arms,
av it w -x. i i

every human trial paralleled m the
The King James Version.
King James I, of England, ap
pointed forty-seven scholars, high
church men and Puritans and those
who were of no ecclesiastical party,
to make a new version of the Bible.
Some of them had special skill in
Hebrew an Greek; some were able
to bring help from their knowledge
of translations in the Italian, Ger
man, French and Spanish. After
four years of work they gave to the
world that classic, that "well of
pure English, undefiled," the King
James Version.
Perhaps no version in the Eng
lish language will ever equal in
rhythmic beauty that of the King
James Version of 1611, but it is
right that other versions and even
new translations should be made.
Each of these makes a contribution
toward our better knowledge of the
original.
In 1885 the Revised Version was
made by a joint commission of Eng
lish and American scholars. Ref
erence will be made in the next
chapter to the wide Interest in and
influence of this scholarly version.
It was agreed that the American
members of the commission should
Issue no version of their own for
fourteen years. In 1901 appeared
the American Standard Revised Bi
ble, which is, at this date, the best
available text in English. Other
worthy versions continue to appear,
Such expressions give me a pain in
the neck.
I have no particular respect for
the national philosophies of Ger
many, Italy an Japan, but I be
lieve their respective dictators have
the rieht idea for the Dreservation
of their countries, when they bring
up every boy to be a soldier.

Professor William G. Ballantine.
Probably no one of these will
presently supersede the King James
Version, but each has its value for
comparison. While no important
doctrine has at any time depended
on any of these translations, it it
proper that the very best and most
scholarly minds should be engaged,
as they are, In the effort to secure
the nearest possible approach to a
perfect text
The two critical sciences which
deal with Bible study are Bald, with
reason, to have called forth the
most severe discipline to which the
human mind has ever been subject
ed in critical study.
There may be readers of these es
says who expected an affirmation
that God in some supernatural way
showed men just which books to
select, dictating through all the
ages the exact language of the or
iginal and teaching how to trans
late it free from error.
It is a pity- to disappoint them,
but that is not th way it happened.
The Bible rose to the place it now
occupies because It deserved to rise
to that place, and not because God
sent anybody with a box of tricks
to prove its divine authority.

needs made it what it is.
