The plan which seeks to raise everybody to a certain medium level, and offers little or no encourao-ement to o rise above this level, can have no other ultimate outcome than to deliver the affairs of civilization, material and spiritual, into the hands of mediocrity. Much of the special agitation of the last hundred years may be set down to the credit of half-knowledge. It is the work of reformers who undertake to solve intricate social problems, with an understanding of only a limited part of ...the essential data. The extreme socialism of to-day is a short- sighted effort to realize the conditions of Utopia, while the essential qualities of men remain unchanged. It aims at the simul- taneous attainment of liberty and social equality. Liberty is clearly attainable, but EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY. 95 as long as men differently endowed enjoy it, there can be no social equality. But social equality may be attained under cer- tain circumstances ; yet the means necessary to its attainment involve the suppression of liberty.
