We live already in world In which
men are trying to understand one
another Men are trying to under-
stand their neighbors. and that is
the better part of democracy Men
are trying to understand other pea-
pies and nations. and that is the
foundation of our new world politics.
The reason why we may hope to un.
derstand the rest of the word the
reason why we even care to under
stand the rest of the world Is tat our
differences stand ort from back
ground of agreement substratum
of ultimate unity The differences
are picturesque and interesting. aud
at times they command the whole
field of attention. Without national
pecularities and even oppositicns our
world-unity would be poor thing, a
duh and insipid uniformity.
Without doubt. national differences
must still be more influential in de-
termining the teaching of the lower
schools than In that of the universi-
ties. In some degree this difference
must, ! think, be regarded as per-
manent. A strong nationalism aud
even certain wholesome provincial.

schools But 1t is quite as Important,
and is in truth essesntial, in this mod
ern age. that the lower schools pre-
serve their continuity with the teach
ing of the universities.
