[" * blades.\u2014 Sidelights On Current Events| EUROPEAN CULTURE NO STANDARDIZATION A BETTER CIVILIZATION HIGH-PRICED LABOUR PROFESSIONAL CRITICS SUNDAY SCHOOL PRISONS \u201cOLD WOMEN'S HOMES\".\u2014\u2014\u2014 By Brodie Sayder A European contributor to a New York magazine condemns American \u201cstandardization\u201d in living and business, claiming that Americans and (almost to as great an extent) Canadians, do not conform to the standards of traditional culture as found in the nations of Europe.We would he better off, it is claimed, if we were more like the Germans, the French, or the English, There is no doubt but that the inclinations of the Canadian oi the Am- cirican are more utilitarian than those of the European, yet it is possible that the very qualities that irritate the European most contain the germs of a better type of civilization.As William Feather writes: Canadian and American manufacturers, reaching out for wider markets, applied the principle of standardization to their products and introduced la- beur-saving machinery on a scale hitherto undreamed of.The critics shrieked that the spirit of craftsmanship was disappearing, and the character of our workmen would be undone ~The Weekly Examiner INCLUDING THE DISTRICTS OF Outremont MONTREAL, APRIL 24, 1930.* : VOL.II.No.17, Model City North End Price Two Cents | Hutchison Streets, The complete with cach office ave as follows: Officers Pres \u2014Mire.A.C.Towne;
