WILLING CO-OPERATION

^IU the pagt, when a civilisatieu has fallSn, the riSe of the next has been a matter not of years, but of centuries, until some new dominaflt blend could arise. We are therefore naturally concerned to see the civilisation of to-day conserved. If I could show the way, I might well olaim the position of a beneficent dictatOr. ' The general law of development which governed the pfocess during the unrecorded ages was the same law which ife proVed to have worked within the short Compass of recorded time — namely, the law of the more Complex and special development at the Cost of the more siinple and general.' "The fault is in oiirselves rather than in a malignant fate obscurely moving behind the Soeiies. Can We not hope that by remorselessly stripping offi the labels from outwora symbolg, by res6iutely adopting reality principles, we may before it is toO late realise the latent possibilitieS in human life, and regognise that ihe springs 6f happiness Come from within. In the willing Co-dperation of free individuals for the coffimon weal lies tbe only solution, Is this a contradictioU in terms 1 I believC not. We qre members all of one body."— ProfesSor W.
