Yet the greatest difference we observe between us and them is in the matter of relations between the sexes. In my early life I lived in surroundings that forbade a girl to know — or to show that she knew — the simplest thing about sexual matters. Marriage was an agreement between the two families: the girl's family and the young man's family. And it was the girl's duty to accustom herself to love her husband after the marriage, since she was marrying a man unknown to her, so that no prior love could exist between them. Here, however, marriage concerns the young man and the young woman, with no third party between them. Custom allows the two sexes to live together from childhood to youth, and thus there grows in the nature of each of the two parties a kind of automatic control that directs their conduct in a natural and reasonable way.

Among the things that strike me in a special way is the desire I see in the people of this country to perfect every piece of work to the point of completeness, and to raise every trade, however lowly, to the level of science and art. If one of us in the East were asked what his work was and said "I am a peasant," we would picture a poor, worn-out man who works more than twelve hours a day, lives in a wretched house, and hardly gets his fill of bread; and no doubt his children will follow him into humiliation and misery. But the condition of the American farmer differs entirely from this picture. For he usually owns a farm equipped with machines for plowing, sowing, and harvesting. He has at least one automobile. In his house there are an electric washing machine, a refrigerator, radios, and perhaps a television set; his wife dresses in the latest fashion and his family goes to the best color motion pictures. And beyond food enough for all the members of the family, his income

comes to about two thousand dollars a year or more. This is owing to the mastering of all the operations that make up the art of farming and the following of the newest scientific methods in destroying insects, in fertilizing, in irrigation, in supporting prices, and in grading produce — all those arts that the farmer learns in the schools and goes on studying after leaving school.

Among the sciences that receive here an attention they receive

nowhere else are the art of fur-nishing and arranging the home; the art of dress, adornment, and grooming; the planning of houses and home gardens; the arranging of the library; dancing in its various kinds; the dressing of shop windows and of the goods displayed — I mean those arts that guarantee the pleasure of the body and the eye, and thence the delight and vigor of the mind.
