DON'T FEAR TO GROPE
BY II. Addington Bruce

THERE is Strong old word-grope-
too generally used in narrowly
limited sense that masks and be-
Titles its real significance. OF this ! was
reminded by recent conversation with
friend
CHANGED to come up. I remarked that for
some time he had seemed to me to be in
an anxious, perturbed state of mind.
"And don't you know why?" my friend
demanded "He has become unsettled in
his philosophy Of life. Things he used to
believe he believes no longer"
Then, with trace of contempt in his
tone:
"The poor fellows cropping, fumbling
around like blind man trying to get his
bearings. One can hardly expect to lay
hold of truth that way"
But that Is precisely the way-by
groping-that new truths always are
gained.
Cropping is not peculiar to the blind or
to those who virtually are blind by being
in dark places. 1t is the method by which
truth-seekers in all fields of knoledge
first proceed.
There never was a scientific discovery
achieved which was not preceded by a
period of cropping on the part Of its dis
coverer Every great invention is the
product of groupings by some man OF
patience and determination, having a
definite object in view and willing to
! tumble around indefinitely until he gain
ed it.
Even in art, in music, in literature,
| cropping has an important place. Those
who grope as artists, composers, or
| writer's, may not always have the satisfac-
| ton of themselves establishing the new
| beauties and standards and styles of which
they dream and toward which they
| struggle.
| But whenever a new school in art,
or music, or literature compels recogni-
| ton and admiration, you may be sure that
it has developed from the groupings Of in
novators, of bold experimentalists. Kindred
in truth they are to the cropping in
vestigators through whose efforts the noble
structures OF modern science have alone
been made possible.
So do not fear to grope.
Do not be deferred by the sneers OF
those who seemingly think that cropping
is sign of inferiority.
When the object Of ones cropping is
really ennobling, to grope is, on the con-
trary, the sign Of a superior mind. In
deed, only the bovinely contented, the in
ertly unambitious, the unaspiring fail to
grope.
And though cropping may not always
be productive Of results commensurate
with the effort expended in it, certain it
is that those who do not grope are fated
to pass through life without fulfilling it's
chief purpose--the making of the world
somewhat better place for its inhabitants.

10 THE WISE INDIAN

Big chief Meyers, who caught for the New
York Giants, in the days when the battery
of Matthewson and Meyers was famous, was
and still is-a remarkable man. Although a
full-blooded Indian of one of the California
mission tribes he is a college graduate and,
what is rather unusual in professional bali
player, an exceedingly well-informed lover OF
art and he has a keen wit. His tribal name
was Tories. One day curious person asked
him why he had taken the name of John
Meyers.
sit sounds so Indian said Meyers.
On another occasion a friend invited Meyers
to tell him what his favorite pictures were.
"There are two that l particularly like,
said the brawny Indian. zone is Abbey's
mural painting, The Quest of the Holy Grail.
on the walls of the Boston public library.
Whenever I'm in Boston go to see it. And
the other is that picture called Clusters Last
Stand"
"Surely you don't mean that atrocious
chrome showing a lot of white cavalrymen
being killed and Scaped-that thing which
some harvesting company out west used to
give away as an advertisement!
%That's the identical ONE said Meyers.
- "But why, in the name of goodness, should
you favor that daub?"
"Ill tell you Why" said Meyers. "t's the
only picture done by white man that |
ever saw where my crowd is getting as good
as an even break =,

products are, largely, a result Of diversified

farming interests. This, together with the
more efficient marketing which cooperative
associations will bring about, should provide
year-around agricultural income, in place
of the old feast-and-famine order, and
should add greatly to the steadiness, as well
as to the total volume of prosperity.

use them with due foresight, and no season
