Popular Morals
Vivas, Eliseo | August 28, 1929 issue

The article provides information on the book "Holier Than Thou. The way of the Righteous," C.E. Ayres. Ayers is one of the most exciting writers the reviewer has had the pleasure to read since, as a sophomore, he cut classes to read G.B.S., exciting in every respect, imaginatively as well as intellectually. In this book he turns his attention to popular morality, with the same disconcerting results as those produced in the former. Yet it is absurd to speak of conspiracy as radicals do, the process is too involved, as Ayres shows, and furthermore the acceptance of mores by a people may in a sense be said to be voluntary, though of course determined by a complex of definable causes.
