Saving Grace of Mediocrity

From Secret History" by George Sar-
 ton, in the Scribner.
 Literary people often affect to pre- fer their own inspired and blessed state of ignorance to the lopsidedness and the mediocrity of the learned. II is painfully true that dead erudition takes too often the place of true in- spiration. We are breeding a race of pedants overburdened by their n- braries and their card indexes. A constant equilibrium must be main tained between mans mental capaci- ty, his formal and experimental knowledge and his craftsmanship. If he takes in more than he can assimi- late. he becomes self-centered and stupid. As most men are very quickly taught up to the saturation point one cannot lay too much emphasis on the danger of undigested learning un- supported by practical experience. The mathematician Whitehead once. very aptly said; The second -handedness of the learned world is the secret of it's mediocrity. It is tame because 1t has never been scared by facts" It is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-02
Society News and Activities of City and Suburbs

only fair to add, however. that some people have been scared by hard facts their whole life long and have never ceased to be dull.
 It is well also 10 say that many people are lopsided not because of their special studies, as they would fain have us believe, but simply be- cause their brains did not fully 'de- velop. Of course no amount of knowl- edge will give generosity and intelli- gence to man who has none. On the contrary, it will set his pettiness in greater contrast. in the same way that wealth makes mediocrity more conspicuous.
 Science can neither produce nor ef- l face medioerity, for this is essentially condition of the heart. Have yoi ever asked yourself why some merI appear small however much they may accomplish? It is due to the blind injustice of fate. or would the reason not rather be that their hearts are small, that they lack imagination and sympathy, that they are too self-cen- tered, too cunning, too jealous? tOf all the symptoms of mediocrity, jea1- ousy is perhaps the one that goes deepest) On the contrary, a warm heart, a ready sympathy, will save any one however small. from medioc- rity When man has big heart everything that he does Is bigger, and he is likely to receive full credit for his smallest achievements; when his heart is shallow he manages to spoil everything, even his accidents of generosity
