A NEW TYPE OF
MAN DISCOVERED

A new type of man has been d s.
covered.
Science has placed him on the slide,
analized, diagnosed and du;y labeled
aim. He IL known o., the intellectIs"
The type Is as clearly defined as
the paranoiac the dipsomaniac o. the
kleptoman4ac.
The intellectic is a by-product OF
| civilization. He is a man who Ives on
his roof, as compared with the OPP
posite type which lives in its base
ment. He has a superstructure, but
no base. He knows everything, but the
obvious, and can do anything but
make living.
Savage, barba.ric and pioneer peo-
| pie never produce a man of this class
He seems to be a sort of sport OF civi
lization, one of Natures little ironies.
He has intellect, but IS deficient In
science rightly classifies him as a de-
fective.
The Intellect is no guide in matters
OF getting q, living or dealing with the
primal and basic things of fe. Breed
enough intellects, and the race would
die.
In fact, with the pure type of in
ECLECTIC, Nature goes on strike ana
uses to reproduce.
Natures hates the intellectic as she
hates vacuum, and, as matter OF
fact, that's just above what an in
eel. ectic is. He is q void vacuous,
scous vision of a thing never seen
on land or sea-
Children born in the country Of
poor parents, or. in villages wheTe
every one works fo1 a liv,ng, run very
small risk indeed of evolving into in
| tellectics. The product comes from
the cities. To a great degree the hab-
it of paying honors and doing defe,-
ence to certain professions has no
doubt had a good desl to do witt
evolving the intellectic.
Always and forever the true type
| OF intellectic is parasite-usually a
respectable mendicant. He lives Oft
the labor of other people. He wastes
he destroys, he consumes-he does
not create.
The safety of the race lies in the
fact the intellectic has been located
and the psychic domain that he In
habits has been in a degree mapped
and the life-buoys placed. We have
been duly warned.
The paranomiac may know seizur,
and work are dire mischief, or sud
den death. The intellectic is just a!
dangerous, and perhaps mere so, be
cause the poison that he distills il
insidious and slow in it's action. II,
is the man who upholds the religio
medico-legal fetish, and spreads IT
baleful influence.
Often he has al high standing il
good society, and his dictum is quot
ed as law. And thus does he enslav
thousands and shackle the minds O
multitudes.
Any man who is unfamiliar and on
of sympathy with the simple, little
common everyday things OF life, VIII
is not in touch with the multitud
and whose heart does not 90 out t
the many is on the preserve Of tn
intellect.c and is a good man to lie
alone. No mater how plausible nj
arguments, give him absent treatmen
Flee any man who does not have con
mon sense, no matter how great nj
mental attachments.
Safety lies in living like poor ma
no matter how much money you hav
and above all things bring your chilt
rem up to be useful, to perform tn
necessary TASKS Of life, never to b
above doing good, plain, old.fashioI
ed work.
Any person who uses the teri
''menial is touched with intellect,
ism. There are no meniel tasks. Tn
necessary is the sacred, and the us,
full is the divine.
Keep your feet on the earth, ever
though your head is in the clouds. ID
not be exclusive, and set yourself
apart, as something special and pee
uliar. The high and lofty attitud
we often see in the poet, the arts
and the musician all token the defec
