The Developing of Art 



tion and development in certain kinds of work for a great 

 mass of the human family in all civilized and progressive 

 countries. It has made them more dependent than Inde- 

 pendent and has taken much of the individual initiative from 

 them so that they are less able to care for themselves in 

 their struggle for existence as these changing activities of 

 society take place. This is because their natural environ- 

 ments have been largely removed and they are living un- 

 natural lives. This is one of the penalties of the "Machine 

 Age." The question Is worthy of our consideration whether 

 the art that man has developed will not In time destroy the 

 civilization that It has built? But the evolutionary law of 

 adaptation will, In time, adjust the habits of mankind to 

 every beneficial change that Cultural Evolution may develop.
