GENERALIZATION.
Henry o. Sheldon Discusses the Modern
tendencies and the Remedies.

Henry D. Sheldon spoke on Modern
centralizing tendencies, and said in
part: The aim of the course will tie to
show the relation between educational
growth and the general current of
thought.
First, shall attempt to show the re-
suit OF the mechanical tendencies of
modern life on the Individual begin
nlng with general discussion Of CEN
tralizing tendencies in modern life.
Perhaps the greatest Capitalization is
70 be found in France, and the most
sklliful in Germany. 1t has affected the
individual. The people of centralized
governments come to look to the state
Tor everything. The Anglo Saxon in
dependence is probably due to a large
extent to the insular position OF Eng
land. 1t is interesting to note that there
is a reaction, and the tendency in all
centralized governments is toward So
cialism
Capitalization in America was i'm
possible at the start. Man had to meet
every exigeney as it arose, and he ac-
CURED spirit of wide dependence.
This country assumed its government
al the time of the sentiment of indl-
vldualism, and in its constitution it
" /
To see Capitalization in this country,
we must go to the city government, tc
the great business enterprises and into
the colleges. The tendency of modern
civilization has been to GENERALIZATION.
There are counter movements, how
ever, as home rule for Ireland ard
Scotland would mean. It has been the
building up of great industries that has
had the effect of driving the people to-
gether.
The old apprentice system had its a J.

point. 1t was narrow and awkwrd.
however. In England from 1850 to 1910
there was a revolution of great indus
tries. The laboring classes were shrown
into new cities, and 'let alone" idea
held; no care was taken of the work.
men. and the conditions were as bad
as possible. But the greatest change
has been in our own country. At the
present time fully 40 per cent OF The
population lives in large cities. The
great difficulty is that the working
people Of this country are not native
born.
The educational advantages in this
have largely been advantages to So
ciety as whole. There has been a large
increase of wealth aud this is the start
ing point of all progress. Centraliza-
ton has laid the Foundation for future
progr6 ss..
The aggregate OF wealth and talent
depends on the intelligence of the pop
ulaticn. the failure of strikes in this
county has been due to the lack of
knowledge OF what good leadership is.
Capacity to manage is important in
interest. From the psychological as
pect the new life tends to broaden the
whole point of view. From the individ-
ual standpoint, there has been, first.
the narrowness of life. 1t has led TO
the substitution CT machinery in all
workings of life.
The problem is largely this, how can
we utilize the resources of life so that
we can get the benefit of Capitalization
without losing the best OF individual
'ty?
