When we reached our peak national income of nearly $80,000,000,000 in 1929, 42 percent of American families had incomes of less than $1,500. Even the statistical average was only $2,800 per family, which does not seem excessive If our poorer families are to become wealthier by some other means than making our well-to-do families substantially poorer, we still need an increased nation- al production of w Mr. Helton's artic h‘ truths, so well expressed, to take issue with modern Thoreau ery merely pleasures ¢ m contains so many human that one dislikes to have his statistical contentions.
