CRAZE FOR SPEED.
MODERN CIVILISATION. The modern craze for speed and change was condemmed at the Industrial Welfare Conference at Oxford, England, recently by Dr. W. M. Childs, ISle ViceChancellor of Reading University. "I think," said Dr. Childs, " The Victorians were greater people than we are. Our civilisation is in a chronic state of restless flux. The conditions in which we live and under which we have to determine our behaviour, have changed with a velocity and a shattering effect to which the historic past affords no parallel. We talk too much. We see too much, We listen too much and we rush about too much."
