Science and Nature.

One great feature Of the nineteenth
century, from 1850 onwards, was the
extraordinary progress Of science and
the Interpretation Of nature.
Everywhere it was discovered that
by keeping close to the sphere OF re
ality, by seeking to understand nature
we were able to make large progress
not only in knowledge but also in the
practical convenienccs and utilities OF
life.
! If gcience won successes in the in
tellectual sphere, they were rapidly
adapted to the uses Of mankind, and
the conquest over nature meant moi
only definite mental acquisition but Q
larger material comfort.
Thus Ihe keynote Of the time wat
naturalism in thought and unitarian
ism In morals and social Iife.

ANYTHING BUT A HlGHBR0W!
The Average Man Naturally Flinches
From the Reputation for In
telIectua.izy.

No one really wants to be consid-
cred a highbrow. The term itself, as
Van Wyck Brooks says, is derogatory'
Here and there a person may be so
superior as to be fattered by the
derision of the herd. Undergraduates
like to think they are. But a man
has to be far gone in superiority be-
fore he relishes the notion OF being
avoided for its sake.
You cannot imagine a man ike
Nietzsche trying to prove that he mad
heart any more than you can mag
inc him shooting the chutes at Coney
Island. He is the kind of Olymplan
whose dignity seems to have been In
herent. You would just as soon drink
beer out of porcelain as slap a
Nietzsche on the back. But the ordi-
nary Olympian, certainly in America
is more anxious to show he is gre
garious than to protect his reputation
for superiority and intellect.
You do not have to slap him on the
back: he slaps you. If he is running
for office, in particular, he wants 1T
to be known that blood, not ice water,
flows through his veins. He yearns
to indicate that he is good fellow.
He tells funny stories, has himself
photographed playing pinochle, is dis
covered by his interviewer sitting at
the organ singing, Home, Sweet
Home" A man may have the temper
ament of hermit crab in private life ;
In public life he must smile cheerily
when a boilermaker brushes his fingers
and bellows: Tommy, put it there"

zeal and money to devote to it can ac-
