Mad Dash For Culture

uonorat;on or so ago. every newspaper ed-
tor used to retire into seclusion every SO o1ten,
ponder dourly on the times for space, ana
write an editorial entitled, whittier are we
drifting?"
AS far as can be learned, none OF these long
jeremiads ever had any appreciate e1Iect on s
the country'S movements. But the haDlt Oh
sitting down occasionally and medltatlng on
our ultimate goal was a pretty good one, never
theess. Even if you can't stem current, II
is a good idea to see where it is carrying you.
During the last few years one Of the most
marked traits of our civilization has been the
tremendous growth Of the average citizens yen
for culture.
High schools, colleges and universities have
been TANNED. Noted educators have publicly
wondered how they ever were going to accom-,
state budgets for education have gone sky
rocketing.
Nor is that all. There have sprung up like
mushrooms, hosts of organizations that seek
to fill in, with few easy lessons, any gaps IN
your culture. You cannot read magazine
without being implored to study French, to
read Conrad, to enjoy the pick OF the world $
literary classics in homeopathic doses. to get
working knowledge of the great palosophles,
to steep yourself in everything from relatlVlty
to psychoanalyss.
All of this being so, it might pay us to sit
down and ask ourselves the old-time editors
Observation-Disclosures are we drifting!
Now it is not an American trait to go for
something that has no cash value. And this
scramble for education is no exception we
seem to be struggling for culture" so that
we can better ourselves in business; we read
of statesmen who got promotions because they
could speak French, of advertising writer's who
forged ahead because they had read Thomas
Hardy. of farm hands who progressed to big
city offices because they were familiar with
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
This sort of thing isn't culture at all, and it
is time we realized it.
One can be educated to ones finger tips and
still lag far behind the uncouth man who
doesn't know Plato from Ring Lardner. One
can be versed in the worlds greatest music and
still be outstripped by rival who never heard
with Virgil won't necessarily increase ones
earnings as a real estate salesman.
But culture does give one advantage. 1t
broadens man so that his enjoyment of life
does not depend on high salary. It gives him
q rich reward, not by boosting his earning
power, but by enabling him to get along with
put boosted earnings.
For it doesn't matter that you can't afford
; trip to Europe, It you are free to enter the
Forest Of Arden any night after dinner. Lack
of high-priced automobile won't bother you
if you can sail with Ulysses past the baths Of
all the western stars. A three-room flat can
be elegant if you can summon Sir John Fal-
staff or Chrysis Of Alexandria or Doctor Faus-
tus to your parlor at will.
Culture is worth acquiring, by all means.
But it never will do you bit of good if you
go after it with your eye on the pay envelope.

been rcmedied by the gentle rains
of the past few days.
From Bismarck to Wilton and

territory is we'll advanced with

larly dry section. Field work herr
is we'll advanced with only 2 to
per cent Of the durum wheat yet t.
be seeded. From Douglas to Sanisl
from two to three inches of rail-
fell. It was in this territory tina
rain was urgently needed becaus
the late seeding and lack Of mois
ture had failed to terminate any 0
the small grains.
South Of Bismarck to Wishel
only light rains fell the first tw
days this week but moisture wa
not needed as urgently as the mort
