The thing that is rare is opportunity, not ability." [118] CHAPTER VI THE BASIS IN AMUSEMENT * CHAPTER VI THE BASIS IN AMUSEMENT A | iHE city industrial man of the lowest economic or- 1 der, the intermittent worker for a bare subsistence wage, is essentially primitive because he has few and fluctuating motives to productive work. His estate may be worse than that of his forbear of the solitudes, for on the one hand, the bald dangers of death by cold, hunger, and fear are minimized by a relief s...ystem which will warm, feed, and soothe him ; and on the other, his immediate, well-adapted, and exciting contact with nature has been destroyed by the town hfe to which his organism painfully seeks adjustment. The tailor, malplaced in one attitude all day, sewing other men's coats that he may cover his own back, is not stirred by the interest, the courage, the triumph, that thrill the hunter when he tears off a bear's pelt for his winter warmth. The baker in the hot darkness of the cellar and the negro cook complaining to herself in wordless gutturals over the kitchen stove make bread to satisfy their hunger; but they work by indirection in an un- natural environment which rather checks than arouses their bodily and mental activities.
