The antique things and wooden oddities that give me such pleasure do open glorious doors to the past; yet, if I could only meet and speak with the men who made them, an important hunger would be satisfied. The living difference or lack of difference between us and our ancestors is a revealing thing; this, and not the change in our attic material, is the proof of progress. It is important to remember, when comparing the past with the present, not to allow modern wonders to awe one into believing that all changes are synonymous with progress.
