To this life and death question, a
great French philosopher, lie Bon,
writing In 1910, replied that the n
unmistakable symptom of human life
was "the increasing deterioration in
human character" and a great physic-
list has described the symptom as "the
progressive enfeeblement of the hui

THE TIDE OF LAwLEssNESs
ID. j. Quillan

In the United States, as recently as
1880. only 15 per cent of the people
were crowded In the cities, IS per CEN
remained npon the farms and still fol-
lowed that occupation, which, of all
occupatiols, still preserves, In its in
tegrity, the don. nance of human labor
over the machine. Today, So per cent
OF the population is in the cities, and
with many Of them existence is both
feverish and artificial. While they
have employment, many Of them do
not themselves work, but spend their
lives In watching machines work. The
result has been a minute subdivision
of labor that has denied to many
workers the true significance and
physical benefit of labor.
The lirect results OF this excessive
tendency to specialization, whereby
not only the work but the worker be-
comes divided into mere fragments,
are threef Did. Hobson, I'm his work on
John Ruskin, thus Classics them. In
the first place, Darrowness, due to the
confinement to a single action in
which the clements of human skill or
strength are largely eliminated: sec
ondly, monotony, In the assimilation
OF nan to machine whereby seemingly
the machine dominates man and not
mar the machine; and, thirdly, ir-
nationality, in that work became dis
ISOLATED in the mind of the worker
with any complete or satisfying
achievem ent. The worker does not
see the fr1it of his travail, and cannot
therefore be truly satisfied. To spend
ones life in opening a valve to make
a part OF a pin is, as Ruskin pointed
out, demoralizing In its Tenderness.
The clerk who only operates an add
ing machine has little opportunity
for self-expression. Thus, millions
of men have lost both the opportunity
for real physical exertion, the incen-
tive to work In the joyous competition
Of skill, and finally the reward OF
work in the sense of achievement.
More serious than this, however,
has been the destructive effort of
quantity, the great object Of the
mechanical age, at the expense OF
quality.
Take, for example, the printing
press. No one can question the i'm
mense advantages which have flowed
from the increased facility for trans
hitting ideas. But may 1t not be true
that the thousand-fold increase In
such Transmission by the rotary press

the printing press has piled up great
treasures of human knowledge which
