THE TOWER LIGHT
An Appointment
New, more than ever before, the earth is a fascinating study. We are going through a world-wide economic upheaval, and probably through a "social revolution.” Magnificent new developments . . . stupendous readjustments ... are putting our time-honored "civilization” to a grinding test. In every country men are being replaced by machines, and these in turn by fewer super-machines. How will mankind adjust to the better, higher ways of living now within easy reach?
Many of us now living will shout "Happy New Year” and usher in the year 2000. I will be but 84. You may be even younger . . . old, no doubt, but possibly very much alive. Consider what a tremendous vista lies ahead of us!
2000 A. D. arrives 66 years hence. Let us first look back that many years. . . . The year 1868! No electric fights nor telephones! Automobiles and airplanes unheard of! A few railroad trains and steamboats . . . a very few. Radio still two generations away! Not a concrete road in the whole United States. Hand-printing presses — no color gravure editions. The West was far and Europe still two or three weeks to the east. Our world was a large place, much of which was still unexplored.
1934! Man has conquered land, sea and air! A touch of the hand speeds him from place to place with restful ease. Through the air from pole to pole! 400 miles per hour . . . and more! Universal education. World-wide literacy no longer a dream, but an eminent reality! Mass production . . . more than enough for everyone!
Giants in the earth! Giants who take our places at the mill and do the work of a thousand men. Princes fall, and governments turn upside down! What will happen?
If you live till you are 84 . . . you will know. This will be a wonderful world 66 years hence. Can you look down the pathway of time? Read "Changing Civilizations in the Modern World,” by Harold Rugg, and "The New Technology,” by the same author. These together with "A New Deal,” by Stuart Chase, will help to give you the proper perspective!
Let us talk this over again, in May, 2000.
Charles C. Meigs, Junior III.
