Activity in Our Times and a Judgment on It
A 1879 essay critiques modern bustle across society from schools to homes and business. It notes that busy classrooms fail to teach thinking, domestic life centers on chores and gossip, and commerce runs on profit with little reflection. The piece ponders politics, religion, and public life, warning that habitual activity may misdirect values and future governance.
