THE INTELLECTUAL ELITE
EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP, by Eric James; George G. Harrap. English price, 6/-. ‘THIs book deals with an important subject on which there will be differences of opinion on some crucial points. The argument is that though democratic peoples resent the leadership principle they must recognise the fact that leaders do in fact emerge and, in the modern world, are not less but more necessary than before. An analysis of the qualities essential to leadership puts intellectual ability in a very high place, and therefore education has a special responsibility towards the brilliant individual, Discussion of this topic o¢cupies the greater part of the essay. In short chapters are given a just appreciation of the place of the boarding school, a discussion of the problems of selection of those among whom society should recruit its leaders, and a criticism of T. S. Eliot’s views on leadership and
culture.
