Show Virginia Home of Culture Localism alone can produce, In the case of America, a thoroughly authentic authen-tic type of man ; this type alone can be the germ cell of an authentic American Amer-ican nation. Again, localism alone can lead to culture; It must start as a singular sin-gular and single and, therefore, small tldng. It will grow and spread as time goes on. The only really cultural cul-tural atmosphere one finds today In America is that of Virginia. The cultured cul-tured men who were born in its field of force are responsible for most that Is of cultural value in America. But how different Virginia Is from all other oth-er states! Its culture is a particular one; It is not only a matter of age but of kind as Well. -Hermann Key-serllng Key-serllng in Atlantic Monthly. |
