Bertrand Russell - In Praise of Idleness pt 4 of 4 by admin
Category: Hunting
The method of a hereditary leisure class without duties was, however,
extraordinarily wasteful. None of the members of the class had been
taught to be industrious, and the class as a whole was not
exceptionally intelligent. The class might produce one Darwin, but
against him had to be set tens of thousands of country gentlemen who
never thought of anything more intelligent than fox-hunting and
punishing poachers. At present, the universities are supposed to
provide, in a more systematic way, what the leisure class provided
accidentally and as a by-product. This is a great improvement, but it
has certain drawbacks. University life is so different from life in
the world at large that men who live in an academic milieu tend to be
unaware of the preoccupations and problems of ordinary men and women;
moreover their ways of expressing themselves are usually such as to
rob their opinions of the influence that they ought to have upon the
general public. Another disadvantage is that in universities studies
are organized, and the man who thinks of some original line of
research is likely to be discouraged. Academic institutions,
therefore, useful as they are, are not adequate guardians of the
interests of civilization in a world where everyone outside their
walls is too busy for unutilitarian pursuits.
In a world where no one is compelled to work more than four hours a
day, every person possessed of scientific curiosity will be able to
indulge it, and every painter will be able to paint without starving,
however excellent his pictures may be. Young writers will not be
obliged to draw attention to themselves by sensational potboilers,
with a view to acquiring the economic independence needed for
monumental works, for which, when the time at last comes, they will
have lost the taste and the capacity. Men who, in their professional
work, have become interested in some phase of economics or
government, will be able to develop their ideas without the academic
detachment that makes the work of university economists often seem
lacking in reality. Medical men will have time to learn about the
progress of medicine, teachers will not be exasperatedly struggling
to teach by routine methods things which they learned in their youth,
which may, in the interval, have been proved to be untrue.
Above all, there will be happiness and joy of life, instead of frayed
nerves, weariness, and dyspepsia. The work exacted will be enough to
make leisure delightful, but not enough to produce exhaustion. Since
men will not be tired in their spare time, they will not demand only
such amusements as are passive and vapid. At least 1 per cent will
probably devote the time not spent in professional work to pursuits
of some public importance, and, since they will not depend upon these
pursuits for their livelihood, their originality will be unhampered,
and there will be no need to conform to the standards set by elderly
pundits. But it is not only in these exceptional cases that
the advantages of leisure will appear. Ordinary men and women, having
the opportunity of a happy life, will become more kindly and less
persecuting and less inclined to view others with suspicion. The
taste for war will die out, partly for this reason, and partly
because it will involve long and severe work for all. Good nature is,
of all moral qualities, the one that the world needs most, and good
nature is the result of ease and security, not of a life of arduous
struggle. Modern methods of production have given us the possibility
of ease and security for all; we have chosen, instead, to have
overwork for some and starvation for the others. Hitherto we have
continued to be as energetic as we were before there were machines;
in this we have been foolish, but there is no reason to go on being
foolish for ever.

Jack Russell Terrier
"The Jack Russell Terrier is a type (or landrace) of small, principally white-bodied, smooth or rough-coated terrier that has its origins in fox hunting. The name "Jack Russell" has been used to describe a wide array of small white terriers, but is now most commonly used to describe a working terrier. The Jack Russell Terrier is commonly confused with the Parson Russell Terrier or Russell Terrier, which are very similar to the Jack Russell.
History
----------
Small white fox-working terriers were bred by the Reverend John Russell, a parson and hunting enthusiast born in 1795. In his last year of university at Oxford, he bought a small white and tan terrier female called Trump from the milk man. Trump was purchased based upon appearance alone. (Burns, 2005) She was the basis for a breeding program to develop a terrier with high stamina for the hunt as well as the courage and formation to chase out foxes that had gone to ground, but without the aggressiveness that would result in physical harm to the fox, which would have ended the chase, and so was considered unsporting. The line of terriers, developed by John Russell, was well respected for these qualities and his dogs were often taken on by hunt enthusiasts. It is unlikely, however, that any dogs alive today are descended from Trump, as Russell was forced to sell all of his dogs on more than one occasion because of financial difficulty, and had only four aged (and nonbreeding) terriers left when he died in 1883. (Burns, 2005)
The only painting that exists of Trump was painted more than 40 years after the dog died, and it was painted by someone whom had never seen the original animal. Russell said the painting was "a good likeness" but in fact he may have been trying to be polite. The painting was commissioned by Edward VII (then Prince of Wales) who befriended Russell in his old age, and had the painting done as an homage to the old man. (Burns, 2005)
On the day that the impoverished Rev. John Russell died, his old sermons and other papers were found blowing around in the farm yard. Little or no written record of Rev. John Russell survives to the present day.
While it is often stated that Trump was "14 inches tall and weighed 14 pounds," there is no source for this statement, and it appears to have been penned by someone who had never met Russell and had only seen the painting of Trump (to which there is nothing to suggest scale). (Burns, 2005)
While Trump's appearance is murky, and her size a complete mystery, the fox dens of Devon, England, where John Russell once hunted, are well known. Terrierman Eddie Chapman, who has hunted those same Devon earths for more than 30 years, notes that "I can state categorically that if given the choice, ninety-nine percent of hunt terrier men would buy an under 12" worker, if it was available, over a 14" one." (Chapman, 1994). To this day most working terrier enthusiast seem to prefer a dog around 12 inches tall."
