The Golden Age a Superstition.

have compared only few Of the con-
ditions of life ut the present day with those
of the past. The task would be too great,
even If my knowledge were sufficient to
strike the balance between all those condi-
tiOns and to determine which were the
most detrimental. Some conditions are
undoubtedly better and others worse than
they were five or two or one century ago.
Many Of us, especially here in America, rs
is apparent 10 the most superficial observer,
live in too much of IA hurry and under too
great strain. We should undoubtedly be
better off If we led quicter lives If we re-
Taxed the tension under which we work
and If we went more slowly and took life
more easily and comfortably. Our life to-
day is certainly more complex, but there
is no reason for condemning it wholly in
comparison with tho past. The golden
age IS, after all, n mere superstition, and
there Is good reason for asking whether,
on the whole our social conditions are not
today more favorable for mental and nerv-
Gus health than they ever have been before
