Detachment and Fitness.

Des MOines Register and Leader: In
thls modern age II Is common to en-
phaslze extraVagantly the necessity for
contact with the world, the %bility
FOR social intercourse, the demand for
the person who knows how to mix"
Such a capacity for human contact ia
certainly valuable. Its need Is forced
upon us daily by the growing complex
ltY of our material world.
But there Is such 3, thing as override
ing this brilliant social versatility. this
response to the call for constant as
soCiatiOn, this absorbing of ourselves
into the more or less superficial life
about us. To be sure, no one can deny
the call Of comradeship, of friends and
charity and actual, perhaps daily, en-
counter with the world of men and wo-
men.
Yet along with our continual giving
adm taking with those about us should
come d large measure of inspirational
supply from the forces within our
selves. II this is not true, we become
In a degree mere echoes of the things
We see n hear. We lack the personal
balance, the original deduction, the in
dividual point of view.
SO for the best efficiency a certain
amount of detachment seems desirable.
For the process of selection which
makes n life significant in itself,
there must be occasional rest and re-
social demands. 1t is a delicate bal
snce a matter of personal choice. hut
somehow this grace for resuscitation
should be acquired.
Some men seem able to reach indi-
vidual standards in the rush of perpe-
tual activity, but for the most part the
one who stand out from the crowd,
who has the mark of original thought
shut out a few Of the d~istractins in
f1uences, has implied and clarified his
habits so that he has a chance for in
dependent reactions and conceptions.
Not the detachment that means moody
which stands for occasional inner con
centration makes for the sanest eff
cheney and fitness.

rusal Of Beadle's Dime Novels. 1t is
true that We had to hide when We read
them, for the word of the fathers OF
the land had been set against them.
The fathers did not understand. There
was not a line of harm in a hundred
of those yellow-covered boyhood de-
lights. Owl Face, the Pawnee. The
Steam Man Of the Prairies. and all
the rest having place in the long list
were real literature, even If 1t had to
be enjoyed in the hayloft or under the
willows down by the creek.
The Beadle Dime Novels of long ago
were as moral as the Ten Command
ments. There was not an bath or a
suggestive word to be found in their
thousands upon thousands Of printed
pages. They were so much better than
the thieves truck which boys in recent
years have been reading that the won
der is how father and mother ever
could have entered objection to them.
The Dime Beadles were loved and read,
and loved and read agin. They did
more good than harm, and the sorrow
is that they have been replaced by
stuff that ought to come under the
ban Of the postmaster general.
