MAN ln ISOLATION.

 Barrier to Progress.

He Is of Little Consequences and D .
 Barrier to Progress
 1t is not an easy thing for man to separate himself from the thought and activity and purpose of the community in which he lives and to pursue an isolated, disconnected and selfish part He can't do 1t, indeed. and if he tries it he will only reduce himself to a cipher or stumbling block The com munity will get on somehow, for it must, but if it has many members of this kind it will be dull. heavy and unprogressive.
 Man in isolation is of little conse- quenee. next to nothing. His associa- ton with others, the Inspiration he re- ceives from others, draw out his own powers. ..The state" to this day. as Plato conceived 1t. remains "a -oduct of mind" Out of the action and l.-ler- action of currents of mind, affected and even directed by variant views or opinions, comes the whole progress of man. of society. of the human race. We want what Burke described as that action and counteraction which in the natural and political world. from the reciprocal struggle of discordant powers. draw out the harmony of the universe"
 The most isolated man cannot sepa- rate himself from the situation he lives in. If such isolation were general or could be general it would be the nega- ton of civilization.-Portland Orego- ufan
