NOT FACING REALITY !
MODERN LIFE. QUEST FOR DISTRACTIONS. (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received Augusrt 13 at 7.49 p.m.) LONDON, August' 13. “Modern life as replete with opportunities to escape from chewing gum to morphia, and from dancing to ocean cruises; but. real health demands that the individual shall not be impelled constantly to seek dist'raction. ” said Doctor H. Crichton-Miller, speaking at an Education Conference at Oxford, at which fifty nations are represented. Dr. Miller argued that the tragedy of the present situation lay in the fact that an escape from reality was being valued as freedom. Miss Ishbel Macdonald said: “If we could produce a generation of grandfathers and grandmothers., who did not creak with rheumatism, we should have achieved something.”
