tute committee on arts AID crafts.
The meeting at Newburyport in charge
of that committee, the best account of
which. by the way. was published by
Mrs. A. E. Whitaker in the New Eng
land Farmer, shows what domain was
open to those who wished to enter into
the movement.
The arts and crafts exhibition at Mil
waukee in connection with the biennial
emphasized this fact 1t was not an
ambitious exhibition, but it held the
germ Of greater things. Besides the in
dustries exploited at Newburyport, the

Ger weavlng-there were exhibits Of
china and pottery, fine laces, book-mak-

DRIFT TO TOW y .

1t Is, unfortunately, much easier TO
analyzc the causes that have with us
contributed 10 this state of affairs than
to suggest Il remedy for an evil so full
of peril to the pclpctuity of democratic
institutions-thc gradual enlargement
of the mental horizon and the constant
multiplication of desire, with little or
no increase in the power of attainment.
All this, together with the mcagcr re-
wards offered BY farm life, as compared
with the great prizes of commercial
and professional activity, has had it's
share in shaping the channel through
which the lifc-blood of the nation is so
eagerly pouring itself into the stony
market places of our great cities. The
tendency, however, is one that can
never be checked by prcccpt or exam
pie. The lever must run it's course,
ana not until the inevitable reaction
com cs-not until men begin to perceive
That the true wealth of the nation and
Tic only prizes for which the great
masses OF on: people can prolitably
compete, arc to be sought, not in the
speculative arenas Of the city, but in
The unsophistlcatcd, primitive life Of
