Show t THE CITIZBN 21 NMTONM, AIFMTO According to the Minneapolis Journal Arthur G. Staples, editor of the Lewiston (Maine) Journal, has done the active generation of today a distinct service by casting a retrospective eye on the good old days of New England and finding that conditions then were much worse than today ; that the family of 1929 is much better off than that of a few generations ago. The maine editor is quoted as saying: What ails many of these lachrymose potboiler-make- rs is that they have set up a wholly fictitious old 0 New England It wasnt so. much. .Poverty was grinding. The city or the town square was not so pictur- esque as we fancy. We select examples of sturdy and conscientious manhood; but the village of sixty years ago was too full of drunkenness and cruelty in many cases to be worthy of praise. There, was al-wa village drunkard and perhaps more, and there were always communities of such degenerate folk as were a public nuisance and a shame to God. The life of the country town, today in Maine, is so much better, cleaner, more sober, industrious and happier than it was sixty years ago, that figures would fail and words are meaningless to as The Journal declares that while Mr. Staples was writing of Maine he might just as well have been writing of Minnesota, that the good old days are a myth and that the people who recur to them in their comparisons are mistaking homesickness for their departed youth, for memories of better environment and finer manners. case fits Minnesota as well as Maine we are sure that it suits the other commonwealths in the United States to an equal degree. We have improved steadily, and If the rapidly during the past several years. There are millions of men Jfy and women still in middle age who remember the day when sobriety, courtesy and industry in the individual did not meet the standards of today. Hearken back in memory to e circus crowds and politthe ical rally, and compare them with the people in similar celebrations of today. And it is not without significance that some of our foremost educators have been quoted only recently as saying that the standard of honor among our college youth is higher today than ever before in their memory.

Passing from ethical to material conditions we find the changes even more marked. Compare the city, and the middle sized town and the village of today with the same sized communities of a generation or so ago. There can hardly be a comparison. The village and even the truly rural home have more comforts and conveniences, more legitimate amusements than, were possessed by the city a quarter of a century ago. And the talking movie bids fair to bring to the smallest community the latest stage presentations, just as the radio has brought the best in oratory and musical mation.
