Paper
OAPER is the greatest known con
- ductor of wisdom.
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of 'At Good Old Siwash.7

TAPER is the greatest known con-
~ ductor of wisdom.
BY means of paper wisdom can
be carried to all parts of the world at
the rate of so miles an hour. Paper en-
ables a wise man to spend 20 years ac-
curing information and to bale up the
results of his labors in a five pound
book and leave it to pOsterity.
The world was wise before paper was
invented. but only in spots. Paper does
not produce wisdom, but enables it to
spread faster than measles. Socrates was
a great scholar, but when he produced
a deathless thought he had to wait un-
til a crowd had collected before he could
graft it onto humanity. 1t took many
centuries for the wisdom of Plato to
penetrate a few hundred miles from home.
But if Plato lived today his dialOgs
would be syndicated each morning and
would appear before 100000 readers
in 1913 newspapers with book, dramatic
and moving picture rights reserved.
Before paper was invented wisdom had
to be printed on sheepskin, carved on
stone or engraved on wax tablets. After
a philosopher had carved up a granite
slab he generally had writer's eramp and

if the world wanted to get help to pro-
gress it had to come to the tablet. Now
adays wisdom comes to the world. It
leaks in through the mail box in g thou
sand different forms and cutters the
front porch each morning. We can buy
all that Epictetus ever knew for 10 cents
and Homer is far more widely known
today than he was when the only vav
ne could get an idea before the world
was to sing it.
Wisdom has also promoted love and
marriage to a wonderful degree. Six
thousand years ago lover usually start
ed banging out a lover letter on a sheet
of sandstone at the age of Is and was
lucky If he finished it before the girl
was an old maid
Paper has civilized the world. but it is
now too chea7. If paper cost five times
