CARLYLE CALLED US BOXES
Equality Developed Monotony of Type
in Country's Second Epoch, Was
His Assertion.

Prof. Max Farrand of Yale, lectur-
ing on American Traits" as developed
in the epoch of 1912 to 1S40, said
at Lowell institute recently, the Kan
sas City Star observes:
Equality of status is, of course.
not characteristic, but a condition.;
yet it is a factor which has led to
the development Of important Ameri-
can traits. Here, where, if absolute
equality did not exist, at least there
was far greater equality than there
was anything else; where, if there was
not equality of opportunity for all,
there was at least some opportunity
for all, the European relationship of
superior and inferior classes could not
long continue. The inferior of today
were too likely to become the 'supe-
rior' of tomorrow.
This meant, of course, great stim-
illus to independence, and developed
the peoples self-reliance. Independ-
ence is one of the most conspicuous
American traits, and it has been not
without unpleasant manifestations. It
has induced lack of respect for au-
thority and for elders, and the exist
ence of equality has tended to a re-
markable monotony among the people
who developed these opportunities, till
Carlyle could say: Americans have
begotten, with a rapidity beyond re-
corded example, 100000 of the great
est bores ever seen in the world be-
fore
Yet in contrast with this deadly
equality, the existence of opportunity
for all individuals also led to strong
individualism among Americans, Civ
ing each man a chance to develop
what was in him. Hence our love
for the self-made man, and hence the
American devotion to leaders rather
than to principles"
