Phrases like 'the "the proletariat," "the bourgeoisie," obscure reason. Instead of a number of living, breathing, enjoying, suffering individ- uals, we think only of broad classes, and generalize about them with a fatal workers," " facility. It is due partly to a false scientific standpoint, which likes to deal with human nature in the lump. It is a dangerous tendency, for the result is that the state is apt to be thought of as an end in itself, and 'not as sométhing which exists for the betterment of each citizen. The hu- man being is obscured by the human 'mass. I am no believer in a narrow indi- vidualism. The state, the organized community, is a thing of immense value--it is indeed the basis of civiliza- tion, and there are a thousand direc- tions in which communal powers may 'be rightly used, since they have a weight behind them denied to sporadic individual effort. But these powers are of value only in so far as they safeguard and fulfil the life of the citizen, and give to him or her a rich- er, more responsible, and, therefore, a freer life. Peril of Machine. The second danger is what I would eall the peril of the Machine. This tends not merely to blur the individu- ality of the human masses, but to leave out humanity altogether, and to regard the citizen as a minute cog in a vast impersonal mechanism. Effici- ency is the watchword. The individ- ual is squeezed and planed into a life- less automaton. But efficiency has no meaning for the state, except in so far as it fosters human values. Otherwise we have a sterile conception of society where human values disappear alto- gether. These dangers are incident to the advance of what we are accustomed to call civilization. They are attended, no: doubt, by an enormous increase in the material apparatus of life; but at the same time they nullify all that makes life worth living, and in the SUPERIOR in name and in fact holds good in the case of every job handled by SUPERIOR SHOE REPAIR L.

For, just as you cannot have a healthy League of Nations without healthy nations, so you cannot have a wholesome society unless the units in it have a whole- some mode of life. The dangers are increased by some- thing with which we have been too familiar in recent years throughout the world, and which is best described, I think, as a failure of nerve. There is panic abroad, and people run to any shelter from the storm. Certain great countries in the Old World have been prepared to surrender their souls to a dictator or an oligarchy, if only they are promised security. In such cases, all freedom of personality is lost, and human beings become a_ disciplined collection of automata. Meaning of Freedom. A free man is not one who is per- mitted to do as he likes; he is one who willingly accepts a discipline and makes it his own, because he under- stands its value. He is one who is clothed with loyalties to family and race and birthplace, to parish and province, and nation, and who is en- dowed with a multitude of cherished traditions. He is one who is permit- ted to develop that free complex of tastes, interests and ideas which we call personality. Only thus can he be a citizen in the true sense. Only thus can he be, in the full sense, a moral being; only thus can art and thought have any meaning for him. We do not believe, like Rousseau, in any natural equality, for that is not how men are made. The old egalitar- ianism had never any foundation in fact, for men, in powers of mind and character, are created widely unequal. But while spiritual democracy accepts natural gradations, it can have noth- ing to do with vulgar, artificial ones. It abhors social snobbery, and in prac- tice it takes the sting out of the natural disparity between human be- ings by that strong human sympathy which is the only true leveller. Freedom and Liberty. That is one side of this democracy. The other side is that it stands for complete freedom of thought, for the liberty of disinterested speculation. It will not tolerate any mass. coercion upon the mind. The most august au- thority will not be allowed to dictate its thoughts and dreams. It knows that, though constitutions may crack and crowns may tumble down, though economic dogmas be- come fantastic and the foundations of the world seem to be crumbling, yet, so long as the sacredness of man's personality is preserved, civilization is secure, SATISFIED A. firm in the city received the fol- lowing from a business man whose nephew had applied for a position and given his uncle as reference: "Dear sir,--In reply to yours of the 20th inst.. my nephew was with me a month before he left.
