had gone with the multi-
David wrote thousands of
years ago. but he wus going to church,
and not everyone goes In that direction
now, though there Is still a good many 1
people Who follow rather than lead'.
It Is.curious, however, to what ex- *
tent we do follow the multitude and
Justify ourselves In doing ho, and even
turn the critical eye upon those who do 1
uot. I am looked upon with some
curiosity because I never played a
game of nmb-Jongg, nor have I listened
In on a radio, nor Invested any money
In Florida, nor talked a great deal
either for or against prohibition.
It la far easier to follow the multi-
tude than to keep out of Its way. OhP
attracts lessft attention, arouses less
comment, Is Wss likely to be thought
freakish or queer. Those who wish to
be inconspicuous must conform.
Many young people who are going to
college these days are merely folTTiSv-
Ing the crowd. They have Joined them-
selves to the multitude. They are
chasing down the Intellectual “Greets
without purpose or definite Intention.
They don’t know -whether they are go-
ing to a fire or to a fight. They move
because the crowd is moving.
“Why did you come to college?” I
asked Browning. He seemed not to be
working much; he was absent a great
deal; he was passing little or noth-
ing. “I don't know,” he replied, "I
never thought much about It. The
other rajjows whom I knew were going,
■o 1 thought I would go, too.”
He- was going to college as David
w’as going to church. I have never
known whether or not Duvld was In
terekted In church for Its own sake or
whether he was going because the
others were.
Everyone was riding bicycles thirty
yearsiago—for pleasure, for profit, for
exercise. Four of us went off qn a
Jaunt of a thousand miles or more;
right lta the middle of July, too, with
the sun pouring -down fit to roust us
alive and the roads-irt Home places
Inches deep in dqst. Everybody rode
then—young and old, rich and, poor,
as people drive cars today. They
were all doing it and boasting of how
many “centuries” they had made and
In what tim^ they could go a mile. I
recall now two old people, past eighty
both of them, who cytled out every day
Just for the pleasure of it, aa many
today are prjp«tlclng the atrenudtts
movements fof the charleston. They
could not^fegigt the Influence of the
tf$Wd.
