talk about the public's inferior taste.
The time has come to give the public
an opportunity to find out something
about philosophy, science and the
higher things. And the thing must
be done at low price, because the
average persons pocketbook is not
fat. AS it stands, the publishers
charge about five dollars a volume,
and then wonder why the people
stand aloof.
We believe we have hit on a way
to find out If the people are inter
ested in the deeper problems of life.
And the first thing we decided was
to fix a price that shall be within
the reach of the person with the
most slender purse.
We have selected a library of 25
books, which we are going to offer
the public at an ahsurdly low price.
We shall do this TO find out if il is
true that the public is not going to
The New York herald., 1922-04-23

If these 25 books were issued in
the ordinary way they might cost
you as much as a hundred dollars.
We have decided to issue them so
you can get all of them for the price
OF one ordinary book. That sounds
inviting, doesn't it? And we mean
it, too. Here are 25 books, contain
ing 2,176 pages of text, all neatly
printed on good book paper, 81 X 5
inches in size, bound securely in
card cover paper.
You can take these Is books with
you when you go TO and from work.
You can read them in your spare
moments. You can slip four or five
of them into a pocket and they will
not bulge You can investigate the
best and the soundest ideas of the
worlds greatest philosophers-and
the price will be SO low as to aston
ish you. No. the price viii not be
s25 for the 25 volumes. Nor will
the price be SIS. though they are
worth more than that The price
The New York herald., 1922-04-23

win be even less than that sum.
Yes, we mean il. Believe il or not.
the price win be only S1-S5 for the
entire library. That's less than a
dime a volume. In fact. that is less
than eight cents per volume. Surely
no one can claim he cannot afford
to buy the best. Here is the very
best at the very least. Never were
such great works offered at so low
a price. All you have to do is to
sign your name and address on the
blank below. You don't have to
send any money. Just mail US the
blank and we viii send you the 25
volumes described on this page-you
viii pay the postman s1.s5 plus
postage. And the books are yours
Positively no further payments.
Are we making a mistake in ad-
vertising works of culture? Are we
doing the impossible when we ask
the people to read serious works?
are We wasting our time and money
We shall see by the manner in which

Without Cultural Leadership.

The main criticism, as we find il,
is that the people support ventures
that are unworthy, that represent
no cultural standards. The public is
fed on low-brow reading matter, low
brow movies. 1ow-brow theatrical
productions, low-brow music, low
brow newspapers. low-brow maga-
zines. AS for ourselves, we think
the criticism is unfair in that IL does
not recognize the fact that the pub
lie is without cultural leadership.
Those who have the divine spark
get off by themselves. We believe
the public has never had a real
chance. never had IN opportunity to
get acquainted with the great and
the beautiful things of life. Given
half a chance, we think the public
will respond

his own in quite a different vein-

author, and publicist and near states

part; that beauty has a perpetual
meaning and reality, that love is
true and hatred a mere phantasm:
that the limitations of mankind are
not inevitable, and that 1t is only
for this reason that we feel their
indignity; that man has within him
"glimpses of the Infinite" and that
through love he can attain a truth
by which he can transcend the
finite nature Of the individual self"
All this represents the philosophy
Of mystic. of visionary, of man
who worships the intangible and the
ethereal, and yet who has embodied
his conceptions in a definite code of
conduct. Spiritual values are ever
uppermost in the mind of Tagore:
and this is the case even when he
leaves the field of abstraction and
descends for while to reality and
practical affairs. In the latter part
of the book he abandons his sheerly
philosophical meditations and de-
votes himself to prosaic questions
such as nationalism, woman and
home and the relations Of East and
West. On these subjects. as well as
on less concrete ethical problems,
the author shows himself able to
write with vigor and vision; one
detects at times vein OF irony re-
markable in one whose pen ordi-
narily has such a gentle touch; and
one shares with the author in his
indignation at many of the paltry
designs and emotions of mankind, at
the selfishness Of nationalism, at the
soullessness Of commercialism and
at the heartless and shortsighted
way in which men are wont to ex-
change beauty for dollars, truth for
factory whistles and humanity itself
for a favorable" balance of trade.
The great contribution of Western
civilization. Tagore observes. is its
science: the bane of Western civil
ization is its machine methods, by
which 1t endeavors to stamp out the
more human relationships and to
convert men into slaves and autom-
atoms. But the present system
represents at most only a passing
phase; like the systems of Rome
and Babylon before it. 1t must give
way to new order that win leave
more room for spiritual growth. In
evolving this new order the science
of the West must join hands with
the idealism of the East; yet, says
the author, Il do not put my faith
in any new institution, but in the
individuals an over the world who
think clearly, feel nobiy and act
rightly. thus becoming the channels
OF moral truth. Our moral ideals
do not work with chisels and ham,
mers. Like trees, they spread their
roots In the soil and their branches
in the sky without consulting any
architect for their plans"

Hutchinson himself is an altogether
charming person. Lunching and din
