Show I V 7 Progressive Living I 1 tA I j is s quite possible to develop a race rac of supermen at some distant date through 3 accumulated habits and advantages of the is the belief of Dr Paul Kamerer the University of Vienna who is a visitor in America There There is s' s nothing particularly new new in iii the tI theory eory r notwithstanding the fact that it is is' is just coming to be understood Always Always Always Al Al- ways life life has been progressive and while white V many have ignored the principle living for their own generation al alone ne the he natural law has been ceaselessly at work Mankind cannot escape from its own acts no matter how trivial they may may seem seen V Life is continually changing even when the effects e fe ts of individual dual actions are tre not always discern discern- ible If life is not a struggle for the perfection perfection perfection per per- of the human rac race race it It it is is' is ismore more or less futile We Ve cannot expect one generation either this or the next to attain perfection We Ve however can cai consistently hope that the V next next generation will be closer to the goal than our own own not because that generation will vill b better be-better b than our own but because it will b ba be getter better equipped for the struggle Ks A we VC ve ponder over the years years and an and the changes it is easy enough to understand that human progress is determined by the worth of the gener generations How else can be account for the things we have in this generation which our forefathers never dreamed of We Vc cannot conclude that we are wiser than our people and attribute these accomplishments to simple discoveries V Preparation for for these things was established in an age in which we did not live V Many of our advantages were absorb absorbed j in inthe inthe th the processes of creation Others were acquired acquired acquired ac ac- ac- ac from the experiences of the generation which went before This equipment is our heritage in life It comprises advantages i r us on a Silver ilver platter which our f fathers th rs and rand forefathers had fo to o work and fight for Ve We start our struggle that much n nearer the e goal than they did lid V You cannot trace the history of the indi- indi family without seeing how one generation generation generation genera genera- tion absorbs the advantages cr created by an an- other Insurance authorities tell ten tenus us us that the life span has be been h increased te ten l' l years years V by reason of better living liying conditions The child of i 10 0 is equipped with more knowledge today than the a duIt of a few generations ago There was a time when our forebear thought the world was las flat We Ve know it isn't but ve we ve haven't been required to spend a a lot of time est establishing the fact as truth We Ve absorbed absorbed absorbed ab ab- ab- ab this conclusion V Education is ismore n more ore intensified today than it was in the times of our forebears V V V V So it is that we are reaping the harvest of the efforts of past generations Not only are are we living longer by reason of their work i but we are crowding more activity into the daily span of life We are bound to do more than the preceding generations by reason reason rea rca son of this fact or admit dmit that thit we we weare are failures But we cannot claim this as our effort for or it is predicated on knowledge and experienc experience which we never had If a race of supermen is not established some time in the the future through progressive accomplishments humanity will have failed in the purposes of creation |
