THE COVINGTON NEWS
Whaf’s Happening To
Our Use Os Language
By DR. WALTER D. JONES
English Department, LaGrange
College
As a good many writers and
commentators have been point
ing out, this is an “instant”
era. Not only has science given
us “instant” coffee and tea, as
well as countless other “instant”
food products — the whole pace
of our daily living stresses the
here-aad-now, the immediate.
Television, more than any
other single medium, has em
phasized this “instant” aspect
of our lives. We no longer read
of events that have already oc
curred; rather, we see them as
they actually happen. An Am
erican astronaut steps out upon
the lunar surface, and the in
credible event becomes credible
to countless hundreds of mil
lions of viewers as they watch
it happen and participate in the
event.
This emphasis upon the im
mediate has brought us to ac
cept fairly consistently the “one
world” concept which has been
so much discussed during the
past quarter of a century. And
so there came into being the
United Nations. But the fact
that this occurred less than 30
years after the unhappy failure
of Woodrow Wilson to convince
the U. S. Congress and the Am
erican people of the need for
such an organization, serves to
illustrate the rapidity with which
radical change is overtaking
some of our most fundamental
concepts. Today, nurtured on the
“instant” formula, the youth of
the “now” generation expect, and
are noisily demanding, instant
results in every aspect of their
lives. They want instant personal
success, instant achievement, in
stant living, without being aware
that there are no short-cuts to
attainment. Now, more than ever
before, there is great need of
highly sophisticated technical
skills — yet these skills cannot
be instantaneously or miraculou
sly acquired.
In no area is this fact de
monstrated more clearly than in
that of acquiring skill in read
ing, which is so fundamental to
personal attainment. In spite of
all the “speed-reading” techni
ques and other learning devices
frO J
ffhe Bible
From me proceeds the
spirit.— (Isa. 57:16).
When our car fails to start,
the battery may be run down.
When we feel tired and devital
ized. the body may be run
down. Just as a battery can
be recharged, the body can be
recharged, only on a more
permanent basis. For when the
body is recharged with God
life, we have a new body, we
are a new creature. We all
want to be alive—fully alive.
So accept the life of God; it
is our life.

(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
which have been developed, there
still is no short-cut to attaining
fluency in reading. Yet the in
credibly rapid expansion of hu
man knowledge since World War
II has made it mandatory that we
produce more and more readers
of rapidity and skill.
Because of these facts, and be
cause other forces at work in our
contemporary society also have
helped to produce a steady de
cline in the attainment of read
ing skills, there has developed a
tendency among some of our
“experts” to see the printed
page as a dying medium, soon
to be entirely displaced by audio
visual media, especially televi
sion. For them, books have be
come an ineffective and obsolete
means of conveying information.
A contemporary psychologist
who has come up with some clever
descriptive phrases such as “hot
media” and “cool media” has
written much concerning the re
lative values of the various types
of informational media — and
built a reputation in the process.
But the very novelty of some of
his ideas, the gist of which is that
the printed page is on the way out,
has tended to obscure two in
teresting points concerning his
work; first, there is an irony in
herent in his having chosen not
one of the new media, such as
television, in which to publicize
his ideas, but rather one of the
oldest in existence — the writ
ten word, the demise of which
he so loudly proclaims; second,
his own handling of the English
language is considerably less
than fluent or lucid, with the re
sult that one wonders what the
pattern of his own reading has
been!
