WHY AMERICANS ARE UNHAPPY

Prof. Albion w. Small in Leslies s
 We modern Americans are the most unhappy people that have ever lived on the face of the earth, because we are the most prosperous people; we are the freest people; we are the most highly ed- ucated. Misery does not make people dissatisfied as much as prosperity. It is not those who are the most miserable nor those who lack the most of social or material wealth whose dissatisfaction over their condition breaks out into rev- olutions for reform. Take the great rev. olution of modern history--the French revolution or the Civil war, for example, and you will note that the respective countries in which these asitations de- veloped were not ripe for revolution until they had come to certain degree q prosperity. which developed the idea Of personal rights and liberties. The main reason why. in my judgment, there will be no revolution in Russia for a long time to come is the fact that the com- mon people of that country are so mis- erable that they have been, and will lonR be, unable to develop a dissatisfaction acute enough to break into forcible res' sistance. i q
