MASS OPINIONS.
"Our mecEanisaaon makes for weaker hera-7ike opinions ; the daily suggestions of the Press make individual thinkhfg superfluous. We are "becoming less alive. Only the New Education can save man from being destroyed by his own machine creations. The New Education to-day, by its method of calling forth the life that is in the child, makes it more alive, makes it aware of this world of life within, makes it spontaneous and creative. In that realisation of life alone are to be found the values to guide man in the right use of his machines. . ; , "As a magnet co^ordinates the iron filings in its magnetio field along lines of foree in a unified pattern, so our being is unified, vivified by faith. . . . Our mai de sieele is loss of all faith; the younger generation are drifting rudderless in a world of ehaos. Bqt a new faith is being born . . , faith in life which abides. I believe in the life which is in me, which is the universal and the particular, which is one and yet of an endless variety— the life pf which I am a foeus point, and which is infinitely more than I— a life which is a voice within me, tellipg ine of values and warning me of dangers-^a life which alone can guide me, without which I am lost. Such may well be the faith of an edueation."^-General Smuts. v
