harm to your neighbours, is not playing the
game. Or take another instance: Not long ago
in England a College for the training of school-
teachers desired to make certain excellent ad-
vances in their curriculum, which did not meet
with the approval of the municipal powers con-
trolling the College. A short, sharp fight, and
again perfect peace.

I suppose it would be too sweeping to say
that a vested interest never yet held an en-
lightened view, but I think one may fairly say
that their enlightened views are rare birds.

How, then, is any emancipation to come? I
know not, unless we take to looking on Educa-
tion as the hub of the wheel--the Schools, the
Arts, the Press; and concentrate our thoughts
on the best means of manning these agencies
with men and women of real honesty and vision,
and giving them real power to effect in the rising
generation the evolution of ethics and taste, in
accordance with the rules of dignity, beauty, and
simplicity.
