FOOLISH SOCIAL FORMS.

The social form that cOmpes woman who does
not want to. to call on a woman who does not want
to her Is foolish and wrong capitalization of
an originally praiseworthy desire TO maintain
friendly relations with society," said Professor
GriGgs yesterday in his lecture on Spinoza before
the Womens Conference Of the Ethical Culture So
ciety. He was speaking of the philosophers rules
for living" and had just quoted Spinoza's maxim
that "One should speak and IN accordance
with the notions of the majority. in far as they
do not Interfere with the purpose to progress
toward a higher life"
Blind fanaticism," said the lecturer. 'is one of
the most injurious things In life. A wise CON
formity in non-essentias is the basis of strength
when non-conformity IN essentials becomes neces-
sary. Some social rules hurtful and wrong
some are Insignificant and some wise and
necessary, but If breaks all rules he is re-
garded as crank. and when real principle is in
volved his attitude has influence upon others
Modern socialism might well take hint from
Spinozas idea that the social organization and
body polite should exist for helping each individual
to reach perfection" said Mr. Grges ITO help all
to realize the highest in each is perfect socialism
combined with absolute indivdualism. Analysed
further, il means that there can be good for
that is not good for all and that nothing is good
Tor the community that is not good for every man,
woman and child composing the community. ANY
philosophy opposed to this is false and end in
a hopeless pessmiSIn.
