“We cannot walk to-day because of the car which we buy with our loose change or the motor coach which takes us everywhere ” (writes Sir Max Pemberton in the Sunday Despatch). “Yet with it all, and while we refuse to walk 'when a motor omnibus will take us, we are willing to tramp 10 miles a day upon a golf course in pursuit of a harmless ball, or to be carried to a hospital from a football field that we may assert the greatness of man, whose spirit will never be broken though his leg has suffered misfortune. This world is full of change, but there are still those of us who believe that much in the. old life was good and that all this fever of movement, of noise, and often of stark vulgarity, has contributed little to the happiness, of man, and will contribute less in the future.”
