GREAT WORDS

(From the Public Service Monthly If you have witnessed the gradual progress of the mind of a little baby, you have seen a miracle. And what is the golden ladder on which the baby climbs out of mere consciousness into intelligence?
 Curiosity-nothing else The con stant reaching out for the untried (even though the reaching involves much upsetting of flower vases, and many burned and bleeding fingers), the eternal why; the unquenchable how and what
 Some men climb a, little way up that ladder, and are satisfied
 They reach a point where the days task becomes more or less auto matic; where their feet follow easily along a familiar path. And they are content. They would not pay a nickel to see an earthquake; they would not open a new book. or stretch their minds in wonder at what lies even beyond the next desk above them, to say nothing of what lies beyond the stars
 Ceasing to be curious, they cease to grow.
 For surely one secret of genius is this the ability to remain inter >ested in new things, even into old age.

PROF. DE WULF OF HARVARD
(From the Boston Transcript

(From the Boston Transcript
 In appointing Maurice De Wulf of the University of Louvain as profes- sor of philosophy, Harvard has se- cured a scholar of renown and has added notably to her intellectual and educational resources. In the field of medieval philosophy, Prof. De w1Ilf has few rivals. He has devot- ed himself especially to St Thomas Aquinas and to the contemporaries opponents and later disciples of tha% great master of scholasticism- For many years Prof. De Wu1f has been intimately associated with Cardinal Mercier. who preceded him in the chair of philosophy at Louvain, and together these two devoted scholars made many pi1grimages in search of old manuscripts and other historical sources in their common field of re- search
 But the significance of Prof. De Wulf's appointment does not lie wholly or even mainly in his erudi- tion- Scholastic philosophy has its place in the medieval period of the European thought, because St. Thomas, it's most i11ustrious expon- ent. lived and taught in the 18th century. But in it's essentials it re- mains today the basis of the system of Roman Catholic orthodoxy. It is the philosophy which Is taught to the laity in Roman Catholic colleges the world over. and it Is the foundation of the intellectual training of the priesthood to whom millions of Ro- man Catholic believes in Europe and America look for enlightenment and guidance. Directly and indirectly 1t is a living force of almost incalcul- able significance in the lives of mod ern men and modern nations.
 It is not that the Catholic system of doctrine is attacked. but that 1t is so largely ignored in institutions which profess to compass the whole Of human thought, and are at great pains to provide instruction on Budd- hism, Cenfucianism, Mohammedan- ism and primitive religions, The aP- pointment of Prof. De Wu1f promises correct this strange omission, and to free at least one great American 1 university from the repreach of ia- | tei1ectua1 PFevinciafisH.

self. Nowadays the number is some where between four and five thou sand In any time many of the books that are intrinsically best have very small sales: under present conditions they cannot be put forth except at the authors expense. The sales of fiction are comparatively large; and even when there is doubt as to the commercial value of a novel, it is often published on the chance of catching the popular taste. So there may be quite as much phi Iosophy, religion and law among us as ever; the figures only show that, if so, a damper has been put on its expression.
 Though the output of fiction has gained in the past year. moreover. it is still much less than it used to be. In the decade between 1900 and 1910 every year had larger total of fic- ton than 1920.

THE MAKING OF BOOKS

(From the New York Tfmes)
 According to figures gathered by The Lite5ary Digest. there has been 8 steady decline in the number of vol umes published in the United States since 1916, though the truth of the remark about the making of many books seems still beyond question. In 1920 the total was S,422, which is 2,023 fewer than in 1916. A possibly disquieting fact Is that the decline has been principally in the fields of Philosophy, Theology. Religion and Law, To a superficial view, 1t would seem that the war laid a. heavy strain on them all; and the impress sion is confirmed by the fact that. in the face of the general decline, the number of books of fiction, which al ways heads the I-st, has in the past year increased.
 If the nation were turning away from philosophy, religion and law to novels numbered by the thousand, there is an element in the problem which makes confidence not inaRes- sibIe. Owing to the vastly increased cost of paper, printing and binding, books have about doubled in price and even at that it is necessary to sell vast quantities in order to make ends meet. Before the war a book that sold one thousand copies was generally held to have paid for it
