progressive community. Public senti-
ment is. In the end. the support of all
social change and unless the great
bulk of the public is told what tho
changes mean, natural inertia and con-
scrvatism are likely to make progress
slow and difficult
To tho student and tho thinker. the
man who reads and keeps in close touch
with the currents Of national thought.
the theories OF eusenics or other adj
vanced ideals are plain and compre

occupied chiefly with trying to get -
living by hard work? He may dis
miss IL as some hifalutin nonsense.
when, In fact, n clear. logical exp%a ma
ton OF the notion would make Rim a

There is too little OF this popular

OF vital topics for the worker We
need some OF the spirit Of education
