Let a Genius Appear in the
Savage Tribe and the Tribe
Will Become Civilized, Says
Prof. E. H. LindIey.
PERILS OF DEMOCRACY
ARE POINTED OUT.
He Says That One of the
Chiefest of These Is That
We See No Differences in
The Individual.

Democracy has emphasized the lev
cling process. the likeness of men, un-
til it has become one of the perils OF
democracy that we see no difference
in the individual. No law has any
value whatever except as it gives men
power to develop the individual. What
has been the value of the personality
in the development of the race: The
very keystone in the arch of Darwin :
theory of evolution has been the indi-
vidual. In meeting changing cOndi
tiOns the one man of the crowd who
has differed from his fellows enough tC
survive. has carried on progress.
Society is made over again and
again by the individual and it is thc
province of the school TO discover and
TO draw out the individualism in man.
With these utterances as his text

THE REASON WHY

New York, Feb. 15-Mrs. Cora F.
