To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Your article in last Sundays edition anent
the oft discussed but always interesting question
Is there lack of men Of genius to-day? suggests
additional thoughts This be the
tury. told, OF great things in sociological
and psychological research, and already much has
been done. In the very forefront the highly
and detailed statistical demonstrations OF
NJ Odin as to the existence and development OF
literary genius covering the whole of France. A
like work has been prosecuted in other European
countries, though yet less completely.
The results show conclusiveIy that. contrary to
previously accepted ideas, neither heredity, phys
ical environment itself has much to do
with the production of genius. but that the main
factor in bringing II out is demand, coupled with
the prospect OF reward In other words, genius
is latent every one and given the opportunity
for its development under the stimulus and foster
ing care OF artificial environment supplied by
society, 1t may appear at any time and in the
unlocked for persons and places
There are no exceptional people in the world to
be caught and turned to good account as Professor
Huxley would do. This is the view Of Professor
Ward and other eminent sociologists who have
fully indorsed NJ. Odin's great work, the facts of
which admit of other conclusion.
America presented TO its inhabitants a store
house OF wealth awaiting development and ex-
ploitation Under the freedom of individual action.
long dominant here the genius of invention and
construction appeared never before in any
other nation, resulting in such wonderful de-
velopment and OF material power and FORCES
that our most brilliant and penetrating critics
have seized upon the phenomenon the keynote
to American life.
In Europe this could not be possible, owing to
the restriction individual effort, absorption OF
material wealth in a few hands and the para
mount influence OF the Church. These were the
very conditions, however which sufticed TO bring
out the genius OF Michael Angelo, Raphael and
the masters OF art in the Middle Ages.
Geniuses so called, appear 10 arise when and
where they are needed, and II is not doubted by
our best thinkers this subject that the artistic
spirit and work of the Middle Ages could again
be produced If there were demand for it Then
too in our own time the freedom OF the individual
IS so untrammelled and opportunities many
as 70 produce many men of q high average abil-
ity SO that, as Professor Odin rightly concludes,
the great man now appears less great because
other men appear less small H. Y. B.
