Their pupils, with far inferior intellectual powers, speedily surpass them in actual attain- ments. "^ In a day when the scheme is too often criticised unjustly it is well to remember this ; to remember that Dewey is responsible for the excellent order prevailing in many libraries to-day. And we should here return to the ideas laid down in our * Macaulay, Essay on Milton, 120 CANONS OF CLASSIFICATION opening remarks as to the difficulty of obtaining a permanent statement of philosophical ideas.... There is much force in Dewey's own contention, that it is wholly impracticable to have a library classification represent the best philosophical statement of the interrelations of human knowledge, as every year would require modifications and changes involving confusion and expense, and that the whole function of a system is that of a sort of intellectual system of pigeon-holes conveniently arranged and numbered, so that the librarian can always put a book or pamphlet on the same subject into the same pigeon- hole.^ We do not wholly accept this position, as we have already shown that utility and theory are not always incompatible, but it brings us back to the truth that utility is the end of classification.
