Wm.F.Giese lrving Babbitt： man & Teacher， Putnarn1941， pp。1-25。The unquest10ned free will was the most sacred tenet of his ethical creed.The determinist was for hima lost soul.Babbitt always measured men by character more than by intellectual prowess & brilliancy；and in respect of will & character he claimed for American ， a certain super10rity to the more intellectual European.For himthe original thinkers were those who have accredited the commonplaces by which men live and have given these a patent of nobility.Page16： He put the social virtues on a lower plane than the virtues of inner life ， and he saw in the common invers10n of this scale of values a main source of growing superficiality of the American temper.He saw in our novel writing and novel reading a symptomof decadence ， a narcotic for stilling thought ， a cheap device for the vicar10us enjoyment of emot10n.Realismis the core of his thinking。Its whole aimis to lay bare the residue of truth essential to wise living fromthe parasitic growths under which the lust of knowledge ， power have hidden it。
