THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Lack of intellectual curiosity evidently
carries no connation Of failure with 1t,
for some of the most successful persons
have very little.
They do their work satisfactorily,
whatever it is, snd-let the world go at
that
The rest of the multitudinous affairs
of busting universe interest them not
at all.
They have no intellectual curiosity, no
desire to know what does not concern
them," as they say.
They confuse poking ones nose into
other peoples affairs with finding out
something for the sheer satisfaction or
it, and its resulting happiness.
This type of curiosity, evidently, is
sort of gift.
Certain persons have it, just as certain
geniuses have been able, at the end OF
eight years, to play the piano and to
compose for it.
The person with well-defined traits of
intellectual curiosity should cultivate
them. Above all, he should never per-
nit the other type of human to sneer
him out of his talent.
,
"What do you want to know about that?
What good will it do you?"
1t Is true life may be measured So
but not for the person who has an eager
interest in many things.
Scattering of forces?
Perhaps.
There seems to be a penalty to most
successes in this world.
4oo on1o aI,1
to our collective mind, perhaps, the idea
that success ought to bring great and
dazzling rewards
No doubt the truest success, now and
then, is its own reward.
Too close consideration of the possibil-
ity of dollars and cents out of everything
we do has prevented us from getting a
proper perspective.
Foreign critics have said this, and we
have resented it, but maybe they are
right, at least in some respects.
It is an individual matter.
Effort to instill intellectual curiosity
into crowds misses its mark great many
more times than it hits it.
Mass efforts to thrust symphony
music, for instance, down the intellectual
throats, as 1t were, OF thousands merely
results in amaZement.
Out of thousand persons listening
respectfully enough. how is there any
way of telling which persons appreciate
and which do not the music they are
hearing?
Intellectual curiosity goes a step far
ther. 1t demands that one be interested
in thing for itself alone, and not
because it is the fashion, or other per-
sons are doing it, or because it is in some
queer way, supposed to be linked with
cultural things.
Such curiosity may or may not be
cultural.
1t has a thousand fronts and equally
as many roads; there is no telling where
one will come out, once the road is
entered upon; the going along has little
to do with it. or the coming out at last.
The chief thing is whether the mind

reacts to the stimulus the senses bring
to it.
This will mean. in the long run,
whether the person involved is willing
to broaden, year by year, his range OF
interests.
Nobody can be said to be sin rut" so
long as he is Intellectually curious about
the world around him, its people and its
history.
The people truly in ruts are those who
have decided, often at very early age
(and most often without realizing that
they have so decided, that nothing
concerns them which has not some tam
gible relationship to their daily bread
and butter.
Sensible people, these latter. Who
would deny it?
Being sensible, however, is scarcely
the be-all and end-all of life.
Dictators, who call upon their sub
jects to "live dangerously" mean to take
fling at such sensible folk.
Often in civilization it is living dam
gerously to read book.
New ideas may make one uncomfort-
able.
Why, there are many eminently sue
cessful persons who haven't read book
in twenty years.
Can they read?
Well, it is question.
Intellectually curious persons like to
read SO we'll that many get the idea
that reading is, after all, their chief
adventure.
There could be worse.
But reading is simply means to an
end.
If it does nothing else, it keeps alive
the good curiosity which is more than
a poking of the nose into affairs.
Some of the non-curious people even
try to prevent others from exercising
what is very much to their credit, but
the intellectually curious seldom are
harmed in that way, so the other might
as well give over their efforts.
~
The world is such wonderful place
we all should be as happy as kings, no
doubt.
The question is: Are kings happy?
They would be, no doubt, if they were
Intellectually curious.
A modern king. for instance, could be
immeasurably interested in finding out
just how the dictator managed to put
himself over him, and tell him what to
do.
He could study the subject of dictators
and tyrants, and then nature, and how
it results in producing them.
x
The world is so full of number of
things that no one, high or low, ought
to have a moments boredom.
What do we find, alas?
People so fed up" as they say, that
they seek the cheapest entertainment.
Persons who are bored with themselves
and life, mainly because they have found
that best doorway, book, bore to
enter.
Intellectual curiosity offers the surest
way to worldly happiness, and it ought
to be used more by everybody. not just
those who have found out the secret.
For, like SO many secrets, it is no secret
at all, really.

perhaps ineffectively, to be helpful. The

Brave men go to death not of their

attributed in part to human carelessness
Questions are heard after an airplane

principles which the schoolboy at his
