True American Culture.

Lewis Worthington Smith, dis
coursIng on culture Of the American
kind In the current number Of The
Reader, says that in this age of short
cuts to everything, schemes for at
tanning culture are as numerous as
schemes for getting rich. Having dis
posed of the illusion that the posses
sion of money will make one man
just as good as any other, Mr. Smith
says that a large body of good Ameri-
cans have established knowledge as
the tombstone of personal worth. He
says that it is a good fetish. but that
it is not real culture, though he ad-
mits that there are millions who
might make their idolatry one stage
nearer to the religion of humanity by
making it their object of worship.
There are, too, some hundreds who
bow before it with n too sincere de-
yotion, for adoption of the cult of
knowledge has some strange inconsis.
tencies. In the first place, We have
countless thousands of devotees of
the good and the beautiful and the
inspiring who are accommodating facts
industriously and rejoicing with pitt.
full innocence in the stores they
gather. OF the scientist they learn
that he had this difficulty, that he
overcame that obstacle. that he es-
tablished the truth of these deduc-
tons. OF the poet they learn that
he was married early, that he wrote
what the critics account his best
poetry before he was 10, that in the
immortal lines known to everyone
he tells us Enthusiastically that the
world is the devils smithy. Now. ii
will forever be impossible to per.
suade some people that knowledge
and intelligence do not constitute
culture. Culture is but state of
mind for which knowledge is but a
prerequisite, an experience for which
intelligence is only the preparation
and condition, perception of the
value of things for which things
themselves but furnish the opportuni-
ty and the occasion. To learn how
some deliver into the hidden secrets
Of earth discovered a law of nature is
not to be lifted up in spirit with the
discoverer as he saw the vital conse-
quences to flow from his long search
for the elusive truth. To trace the
devious course of human emancipa-
ton from the shackles of wrong and
error is not to grow free ourselves.
To know the meaning of some poet
prophets message is not to take the
divine fire to ones own breast. Let
those who must be content with the
shadow of things get what joy of
them they can, but let us not help to
deceive them. Times, ideas. senti-
mcn's must always receive their
value from the appreciatiye capacities
Of him who knows them holds them,
takes them to his heart. The light
that never was on sea or land half

DR.. Morrison, the well-known cor.

DR.. Morrison, the well.known cor
respondent Of the London Times at
Pekin, went to see the recent maneu-
vers Of the modernized Chinese army
in the neighborhood Of Changtefu.
He describes them as a repetition Of
the performance of last year-a set
piece carefully prepared long before
hand by a number Of Japanese
advisers. The general opinion formed
by the military attaches was not, he
says, unfavorable, though many years
work without official jobbery will be
needed before the troops can COM
pare with those of more advanced ma
lions. The inefiiciency of the officers
is still conspicuous, and the field
training OF the men inadequate, but
the material is good. DR.. Morrison
hints pretty plainly that without the
Japanese to direct affairs, the con,
tending armies would have been little
better than a rabble.

LET US NOT TALK RASHLY.

From time to time there is spasm
of denunciation takes hold of our citi-
zens in which they promulgate great
anti-vice manifestos. When these are
reported in the white press, twist
or coloring is given them which
makes II seem that we state as a fact
that young people are not merely ex.
posed to temptation, but have actual
ly already yielded to 1t in whatsoever
form. For instance, the press of a
week ago made the Sunday Alliance
say that it considered our high school
girls habitues of vice. 1t needs no
denial to convince the public that the
Alliance took no such stand. The
colored school attendants are of as
high moral worth as white students.
They are guilty of no greater breaches
Of good conduct than the whites and
it is only the coloring given it by the
sensation.hunting reporter that makes
us seem to condemn so rashly. Let
us say of our young people what we
may face to face, but let us stand be-
fore the world as claiming for them
the highest virtue and morality for a
prejudiced public will always enlarge
upon anything derogatory.
