has not gone far enough, its results are still too
vague for our purposes. We know very little,
and what we know has hardly been applied to
political problems. That the last few years have
witnessed a revolution in the study of mental life
is plain: the effects are felt not only in psycho-
therapy, but in education, morals, religion, and
no end of cultural interests. The impetus of
Freud is perhaps the greatest advance ever made
towards the understanding and control of human
character. But for the complexities of politics it
is not yet ready. It will take time and endless
labor for a detailed study of social problems in
the light of this growing knowledge.

What then shall we do now? Must we con-
tinue to muddle along in the old ruts, gazing rap-
turously at an impotent ideal, until the works of
the scientists are matured?
