But the judgments which she deliv-
cred against her contemporaries are
not, therefore, sound or vitality in
teresting, especially since her favor,
tie aversion, Jacques Danton, came
nearer than anyone else to being
personally as magnificent as the
revolution itself. 1t is because such
men live as product Of social farces,
even today, that revolutions are
both probable and worth while. 1t
is also because of the stubborn rancor
of persons like Madame Roland that
such men have sometimes to die. And

CONDITIONS OF HEROISM

geois fear that a contemporary pro-
letariat and peasantry may assume
from the past that for Danton, as
for Washington in the United
States, the path to his position OF
historic Importance was the path of
unmitigated revolution.
The French bourgeoisie thus do
their best to make the heroes of
their great revolution venal, insin-
core, brutal, or merely insignificant.
If they do not make specific charges,
the bourgeois authors resort to in
nuendo. Being certain they were not
respectable men, the nearest APP
proach, in works of this kind, to an
reclamation of the forerunners OF
the present bourgeois society in
France is a confession of an liability
to decide whether the Jacobins were
even honest men. That is the near

There is a curious contrast be-

heroes of the American Revolution
! In this country the memories OF
/ Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben
jamin Franklin and others have
been socially useful insofar as they
could be exploited by parents ant
teachers to assist in the discipline
of children. In this country children
have been growing up in the belief
that George Washington became
president chiefly because he would
not tell lie to his father. The i'm
plication of this myth, which ha!
only recently begun to decline IL
favor, is that if George Washington
had deceived his father in the matte
