Book Description
Excerpt from Economic Conditions, Governmental Finance, United States Securities, 1921 Mr. Gilbert K. Chesterton, a noted English writer who is lecturing in this country, said in his first lecture that he had come seriously to the conclusion that the most profound criticism of the education and culture of the present time was to be found in an utterance which he attributed to Artemus Ward, but which if we are not mistaken belongs to Josh Billings: It ain't so much people's ignorance that does the harm as their knowing so darned much that ain't so. This is suggestive of a vast amount of writ ing and talking just now current about busi ness conditions, and particularly about the manipulation of markets against the farmers.
