THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT co., me. Entered «t the Decatur, Ind., Post Office a; Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, it. - President Mrs. John Shirk - Vice President Mrs. A. R. Holthouse Secretary Gtas. K. HoMftouSe Treasurer Toynbee and the West When prominent British histoman Arnold J. Toynbee says that he dislikes contemporary Western civilization, he is quick to point out that he is partly jesting, partly serious. In an article in the New York Times Magazine this week, the eminent historian, who has systematized world history into a fascinating subject, explained some of his dislikes. His first dislike, that man is a prisoner of his time and place, is more of an indictment of man as a creature than of Western civilization — it is true of all men in every civilization. Toynbee says his own time and place seem dull and boring to him, but so wodld any other time or place if they were his own — after all, the grass just looks greener in the other pasture — it really isn’t! Again, he says he has disliked world wars, communism, fascism, and national socialism. But these were the creatures of men — men who would have been no better or worse in any other civilization. Another point hits more directly home—that is the calkrasness of those Os us who live in the west toward the older people. Toynbee says that this is the first civilization so callous as to exclude the aged from their adult children’s homes. This seems shocking to him, and to many others Contemporary Western advertising he also dislikes. It has, as he points out, made a fine art out of taking advantage of human silliness. It rams unwanted material goods down our throats when two-thirds of of the world’s people desperately need the bare necessities. Looking back to the -19th century. Toynbee admires the West’s success a century ago in postponing the age of sexual awakening, sexual experience, and sexual infatuation far beyond the age of puberty. This was against nature, of course: to be human consists precisely in transcending nature — overcoming the biological limitations that we have inherited from our pre-human ancestors. All human societies overcome death by creating and maintaining institutions that are handed on from one generation to another. Sex is a still more awkward feature of our biological inheritance than death. Postponing sexual awakening prolonged the length of the period of education, of youth itself. We once condemned the Hindus for child marriages, or Moslems for sexual indulgence at puberty. Today we ourselves are making the same mistake we once condemned in them. We are plowing the sands if we expect the sexually awakened to seriously study in college, Toynbee contends. However, he may not understand fully the American system of getting mar- ' ried young, and thert working your way through college. Editorial written by Dick Heller
