Little Journeys Here and There
By j. A. WYE

lege education has meant to these
people a means of expanding their
opportunities for selfish living in
stead of a preparation for better SER
vice to humanity. 1t is pitiable
condition this struggle year after
year with a distorted view of what
life actually means.
This great nation of ours gets it's
strength and virility from the people
who toll and struggle, handicapped
by adversely and physical disability.
They succeed and are happy because
they do not indulge in the belief
that duty demands that they push
beyond their means. Our strongest
men and women come from the farm.
Even today, with good roads, the tele-
phone and radio, some of them are
pitiably isolated. No great libraries
are theirs to nourish their minds.
They have no concert halls to fill the
soul with strains of uplifting music.
They have no schools with outstand-
ing accomplishments, and those they
have are many times far away. OPP
portunities for culture and refine
ment" are what make them. They
have no summer outings. They lack
many of the essentials of private
home, for theirs is intermingled with
the machinery of farm business. 1t
is work early and late, and too often
they fail to grasp the inspiration ma
ture daily provides for them. The
school for the children is presided
over by a young teacher who has
scarcely begun to realize what life
really means. And yet with all
these shortcomings of their environ
ment there emerges sturdy, honest,
intelligent people who give to life
it's zest, its power and beauty.
Life is filled with beauty and pow
er. There are untold values right
at our feet. The great difficulty with
Living On The Ragged Edge" is
that the writer seems to have failed
utterly to comprehend life's values
and 'tune in" to make them her own.
In closing Iswish to quote from
Roosevelts letter to the French poet,
Mistral, in acknowledging the gift of
book, for it contains beautiful
thought.
Cali success to you and your as
sociates. You are teaching the lesson
that none need more to learn than
we of the West, we of the eager,
restless, wealth-seeking nation; the
lesson that after a certain not very
high level of material well-being has
been reached, then the things that
really count in life are the things
of the spirit Factories and railways
are good up to a certain point, but
courage and endurance, love of wife
and children, love of home and coun-
try, love of lover for sweetheart, love
of beauty in mans work and in ma
ture, love of emulation of daring and
of lofty endeavor, the homely work
a-day virtues, and the heroic virtues,
| these are better still, and if they are
| lacking, no piled up riches, no roar
ing changing industrialism, no fever
ish and many-sided activity shall
| avail either the individual or the
| nation"

Last December a writer in Harpers
Monthly, a college graduate whose
husband was also a college graduate
and a professional man drawing a
good-sized salary, used several pages
to voice her difficulties in living in
culture and refinement" as their edu-
cation dictated.
An old banker delivering Sunday
afternoon address before an as
semblage of young men said: "a
young married man, a friend of mine,
came to me one day and said, Tom,
/ wish that I had just little larger
salary, / can't quite make both ends
meet. This young man was getting
$125 a month, and I knew him when
he was afterwards receiving $4,000
a year, or ten times the salary he
complained of, and he couldn't make
both ends meet then, and he died
miserably poor. Young men, if you
cannot save money and get ahead on
small salary, you never will on
a large salary"
The recollection of advice given
thirty-five years ago came to me as I
read Living On The Ragged Edge in
the December number of Harper's.
The trouble with the lady who
writes this story is that she has the
wrong conception of life and the at
tainment of its values and beauties.
1t is perfectly proper to be ambitious
and never quite satisfied-always
striving for something little beyond.
It is unjust and unfair to ourselves
and our families to follow course
which demands constant strain and
stress. This family can and should
with a very little redirection of at
titude and effort conform to the sta
ton in life where they belong as
measured by their financial ability.
Theirs, obviously, is not case where
they are pinched to obtain food.
clothing, and a comfortable place
in which to make home, but are on
the ragged edge" because they have
elected to follow in the pathway
of false gods nurtured by culture
such life, and to stultify ones con-
science and to develop the belief that
duty to ourselves and our children
demands conformity to culture and
refinement" beyond ones financial
ability.
| A home is not the house we live in.
Happiness is not measured by dol
lars and cents but rather by our
| ability to separate the joys and beau
ties of life from the drab, coarse,
ugly things. I am afraid that col
