THE CURSE OF ISHMAEL

The Handicap of legitimate Birth

Since Ishmael was cast out into the wilderness with Hagar, those born out of wedlock have been severely handicapped in Life's race; yet in the pages of History's book of fame their names are legion. "Brought into the world with a die- regard for established law, custom, or etiquette," writes. Dr. A.. S. Rappoport in "Splendid Sons of Sin" (Stanley Paul, 188.), "these sons of sin seem to have disregarded in their turn the ordinary laws of life, to have walked new paths and paved new ways. In almost every In- stance Nature seems to have show ered her gifts upon such children of sin and to have endowed them with courage, Intelligence, and even, genius."

Greatly struck by this pheno- menon, the author seeks some ex- planation. "History offers ns," he says, "many examples, especially in dynastic families, where the legiti mate children are miles behind the Illegitimate offspring in energy and intelligence. Now, are there any physiological and psychological rea- sons for the facts I have enumerat ed? Could they not be adduced as an additional proof that the cross- ing of races is advantageous for the human species?" Leaving the render to ponder over this curious problem, he proceeds to illustration.

He will tell you that Selji Noma is a publisher of popular magazines, who by skilful advertising, a genius for gauging the public's taste and giving it what it wants, has built a pinnacle for himself that many Press magnates of the West might envy. It is often assumed that the art of publicity is purely a Western conception; at any rate, it is not easy to associate it with "the in- scrutable East.”

Gu'ding Principles

It is worthwhile,` ́therefore to inquire what are his guiding prio- at a time ciplea; particularly so when a healthy public opinion in the Far East might do much to solve many difficulties. His aims are described in an interesting lit- tle pamphlet published by Dai". Nippon Yubenkwai Kodansha of Tokyo. First of all he believes in the doctrine of "Greater Japan that is,

a Japan "burning with ambition to serve the Emperor and the nation, perfect in morals, honest in work, strong in will, and valorous in fighting."

But consider these figures; In addition to his large output of books Selji Noms publishes nine mage- zines every month. More than ten million people read them regularly, that is, one out of every, five of the Japanese population. One magazine. alone, "The King" has a circulation of a million and a half. Three quarters of the stock-in-trade of every bookstall comes from Mr. Noma's presses. Two hundred rail- way-woggon loads of printed matter leave his works every month. He view.

As for Japan's part in interun- tional affairs, Mr. Noma says: "In recent years I have heard much about high-toned international ideal-' ism, a great movement for univerzal peace and brotherhood, but it seems to me that Japan has not as yet attained that place in the world In which she may benefit others by her own greatness.

"Her first duty is to attain to a position wherein she may have her voice heard; she must first develop what is in her, make the most of. what she has and I believe that there is something in the Oriental culture which, if properly prepared, will provide salutary moral food for the nation."

The Mind of the People Mr. Noma began life as a primary school teacher, and he still regards himself as a teacher on a bigger scale. "You cannot expect the com- man people," he says, bluntly, "to regulate their daily conduct accord- ing to the principles of morality; they act first and think afterwards, and their impulsés generally spring from the spirit of emulation of somebody they admire in stories or in life." That doctrine, he believes, is the key to success.
