PERSONAL FREEDOM
" Personal freedom may be defined as the iiowering of the personality. Just as flowers develop from the bud onward until they reaeh the fullness of their beauty and their complete self-detemina-tion and self-expression, so personality grows and flowers if it is given a ehance. But the individual cau only be expected to grow to full spiritual stature in conditions of freedom, when he is able to realise himself and his innermost nature. Every one of us is unique, each one of us is utterly different, from anvbody else. That is the strongest argument against regimentation, against standardisation, a°-ainst the terrible idea of mass production as ^pplied to the most marvellous thing in the world, man's soul."— Dr. G. P. Gooch in " The Freedom We Seek." ,
