Does Our Cultivation Cultivate T?


Incomes are larger now, and a very
much larger number of people have ade-
quate ones; silver and fine linen are still
plentiful. but cultivated people are very
much less in evidence than they used to
be. Let me say quickly that this is not
assertion that cultivation is ceasing to
exist, but only that. broadly speaking, it
has lost it's ascendancy with the great
body of people Of a comfortable life. 1t
is no longer one of the things that they
seek first. 1t Is, one suspects, becoming
one of the compensations of moderate
poverty. This. II true. is greatly to be
financial ease and cultivation should cease
to be companions. Opponents of our de-
mocracy have always claimed that it
would result in leveling down, not level
ing up, the grades of character and Gull
ture. For very pride before such critics
the well-to-do should not justify the taunt
that they are becoming the Great IN
lettered"
Another curious phenomenon Is that the
same amount of education seems to pro-
duce less cultivation than formerly; it
certainly produces less OF that fine atmos-
phere for which We have no name, but
which we know to be the flower of life
These results have come to pass in spite
of the steady spread of education, both
higher and lower: the raising of stand
ards in the schools; the vast increase in
libraries: the birth and growth of women's
clubs: the valuable device of the travel
ing library; the incredible development Of
the magazines, and the indefinite multiple
cation Of all manner of cultured devices

The mayoral candidate at Philadelphia
who is crusading against the corset and
hoping to get it suppressed by law will
have proved himself more powerful than
emperors or kings If he succeeds. Louis
XIV, who could put down the high head
dresses of court ladies by word, found
the corset too strong for him. And long
afterward when Charles x. proving once
more that the Bourbons were unteachable,
again condemned 1t; he could do no more.
In Austria Joseph II tried crafty move.
which was the converse of the Manchu
emperor's trick of popularizing the pigtail
by decreeine that criminals should lose it.
He ordered that women of bad characters
or convicted of serious offenses should
wear corsets. But even that did not dis
