But the habit of sitting down occasionally and meditating on our ultimate goal was a pretty good one, never- theless, Even if you can’t stem a current, it is a good idea to see where it is yore hi ei During the last few years one of the mos . arteet traits of our civilization has been the ae tremendous growth of the average citizen’s yen for culture. seis : High schools, colleges and universities have ( been jammed.

You cannot read a magazine without being implored to study French, to £ read Conrad, to enjoy the pick of the world’s : literary classics in homeopathic doses, to get a working knowledge of the great philosophies, to steep yourself in everything from relativity to psychoanalysis. : All of this being so, it might pay us to sit + down and ask ourselves the old-time editor’s question—“Whither are we drifting?” Now it is not an American trait to go for something that has no cash value. And this — de | Editorial Comment scramble for education is no exception. We * seem to be struggling for “culture” so that “we can better ourselves in business; we read “of salesmen who got promotions because they : could speak French, of advertising writers who gS forged ahead because they had read Thomas ; Hardy, of farm hands who progressed to big : city offices because they were familiar with Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. * This sort of thing isn’t eulture at all, and it + is time we realized it. $ One can be educated to one’s finger tips and : still lag far behind the uncouth man who doesn’t know Plato from Ring Lardner. One can be versed in the world’s greatest music and still be outstripped by a rival who never heard anything higher than a jazz band. Intimacy with Virgil won’t necessarily increase one’s earnings as a real estate salesman. But culture does give one adv: tage. It broadens a man so that his enjoyment of life does not depend on a high salary. It gives him a rich reward, not by boosting his earning power, but by enabling him to get along with- put boosted earnings. « For it doesn’t matter that you can’t afford & trip to Europe, if you are free to enter the Forest of Arden any night after dinner. Lack of a high-priced automobile won’t bother you if you can sail with Ulysses past the baths of all the western stars. A three-room flat can be elegant if, you can summon Sir John Fa!- tus to your parlor at will. Culture is worth acquiring, by all means. But it never will do you a bit of good if you go after it with your eye on the pay envelope. ‘A 2,100-Mile Memorial ..

After fans have despaired of seeing agree- ment reached and are striving to reconcile themselves to seeing most of the best players on the outside looking in during the approach- ing season, they learn for another year that their fears were baseless. Baseball fans never cease talking baseball, not even when their idols are on the boards under fat vaudeville contracts or are putting on weight by midwinter idleness, but in March they tire of post-mortems and records and av- erages of past seasons. Preliminaries to the signing of new contracts and spring training i camps afford them something new to talk about. From that time they measure their spring, though by all the signs and rules of the goose-bone prophet spring may still be weeks away.

Voyage of Discovery (Omaha World-Herald) Wilbur Glenn Voliva is embarked upon a charming journey—to find the edge of the flat world and travel around its rim—but he is not) making the trip inclusive enough. While he is about it he really should investi- gate the old belief that a pot of gold lies buried at the foot of the rainbow. He should discover where the wind comes from. Perhaps he could establish whether or not the moon is made of green cheese, and in doing that learn how far is up. It requires almost as much courage and con- viction for Mr. Voliva, who lives in an age when everyone else believes the world to be round, to start a trip to prove it is flat, as was required of one Christopher Columbus, a few centuries back, living in a day when everyone believed the world to be flat, to launch a jour- ney to demonstrate its roundness, On second thought Columbus took the great- er risk. If he were wrong he knew he would simply sail his ship off into space and plunge into a vacuum. If Mr. Voliva is wrong, he will simply, in course of time, get back home again. Besides, one suspects Mr. Voliva carries his vacuum with him, Genuine Nobility (Omaha World-Herald) The prince of Wales shook hands with a waiter and the cables buzzed-with the news ot how he had thus demonstrated “his democ- racy.” And not only democracy, but good sense and good breeding which achieves its highest purpose in such conduct as will not un- necessarily hurt a fellow creature. According to the story, the prince was en- gaged in a general handshaking at a dinner, when one man drew back with the embarrassed explanation, “Pardon me, your royal highne3s, but I am one of the waiters.” And the prince's reply was “What of that?” This incident leads to the surmise that per- haps a great deal of what is assumed to be snobbery on the part of the great and the near great is not snobbery at all but an air created by the sycophancy of lesser folk who assume there is a superiority where none is claimed. It is not at all likely that Wales and the waiter would make very congenial companions. Their ways are naturally different ways and their tastes are probably widely at variance, but when it comes to public handshaking the prince very properly assumes the attitude that the hand which places his food before him is|! in every way as respectable and worthy as the hand of a brother duke, + Not to Be Tabooed (New York Times) At this point in the 1928 presidential cam- paign, an effort is being made by politicians to deny that prohibition can be an issue.
