PEOPLE LIKE TO LEARN—IN THEIR OWN WAY.
“Tlie people in tlie mass may be slow in assimilating the educated enlightenment which hitherto the few above have', been privileged to enjoy. But you cannot force the pace or drive them; and it is possible that by their own efforts and initiative they may find a path for themselves by which in time a degree of edu sited enlightenment will be reached that may e:.cel that on’ which the few pride themselves. Also it is easily observed how much people prefer the pleasures they have themselves organised, however clumsily, to the beautiful equipment for .sport, games, or entertainment provided for ■ them by outside agencies, There is always room for the 'help of the factful organiser who can supplement efforts and contribute the knowledge which may be lacking owing to inexperien e. The mistake comes when there is dictation and an insistanee on giving people ‘what is good for them.’ ” —Lord Ponsonby, in “Casual Conversation.”
