DEFINITION OF SOCIALISM.
The newest definition of Socialism is that of J. Bruce Glasier, who says : "The ideal of (Socialism is a democratic, educated, self-reliant community, in which alLthe individuals cooperate together '.to. promote, tjh'e highest ' development and the;' greatest happiness of all. This is surely an ideal worthy of human effort. It. is not an impractical ideal. We who inherit the knowledge of the past may move with firm step where others trod with hesitating feet. To rescue from material disease the countless millions of underfed and undersized workers, of the world is. a task which might well enlist the effort oif this age. But to. open the gates of an intellectual Eden tb the vast masses who are now condemnedl to ignorance outside, tfnd to bring the joy and fellowship of life into their hearts and homes is a still worthier work. That is the call which Socialism makes; that is the promise which Socialism gives."
