THE IGNORANCE OF THE
EDUCATED.

The brutal callousn ess to the suf-
ferings of the poor by the well-to-do
Educated" classes, who are entirely
absorbed in the pursuit of pleasure
and of wealth, is a matter Of COM
mon observation, but their gross ig-
norance of the world in which they
live, of the economic conditions Of
their times, is not SO clearly recog-
nized. and that is sometimes ascrlbed
to brutality which is really the re-
suit of Grass stupidity. The cob
webby corner called "society' passes
with these people for the world and
all that lies outside the web of folly
and fashion with which they have
environed themselves, is outer dark
ness which they do not seek to pen
citrate. From its depths wall Of
suffering sometimes reaches their
ears which they deafen forthwith
with the din of a charity ball or a
fashionable bazaar; when the wall
deepens into angry mutterlngs of
discontent they call upon the Gov
eminent to silence such disturbing
cries so unmannerly as to come be-
twixt the wind and their nobility.
But they never question for one
moment whether it ls right they
should lead lives of idle luxury while
their fellow creatures toll and
starve. With the veneer Of educa-
ton, with the polish of good man
ners on them, these people are not
unpleasant to look upon, not un-
pleasant to meet ; but scratch the
veneer and you find a solid block Of
ignorance, while the polish of the
man of the world conceals the fea-
lures of slave-driving rufians who
regard the workers as animals on two
legs bred to do them service, to heW
wood and draw water for them.
Their mothers taught them 50
scboolmaster and par8on repeated
the lesson, and the Ignorance in
which they have been wrapped from
childhood upwards will be theil
shroud. For this class there is NJ
awakening. Social-Democracy car
do nothing for them-nothing but
