PROGRAM FOR A BETTER
WORLD

Glenn Frank, editor Of the Cen
ltury Magazine, says the world
needs great spiritual and intel
lectual leader to. blaze the way to
Ia finer civilization. He submits
these suggestions as to the main
things needed:
s. /. Political nationalisms, by
which he means, "flag-flapping
flapdoodle," must give way to "cul-
|tural natsonalism Intelligent pa
|triotism, without cheapness or arro-
,gance.
2. Along with this finer nation
|alism of the spirit there must be
economic internationalism.
8. 8. Politics must. be 'srationaliz-
ed with the bunk and catch
words eliminated and government
made scientific and businessIke.
a: Autocratic industry must be
made democratic.
S: business must be "liberal-
|izeds, the only sound business being
sound socially.
Education must be practi-
cal making the student sat home
in the world -
B Religion must be as much at.
home IN the Office as in the ca
|thedral.
s. The race must be wen bred.
but withont "tne eugenics of the
barayard.
Here is rather large eontract,
calling indeed for great leader
|if the world if is to be converted to
lit all at once. Bat great transit
tiona are seldom sudden, and a
superman may not be essential.
The world is gaining now, in all
these directions, in spite Of pessi-
mistics statements that it is going
TO the devil. Society as a whole.
