It has the vision of a higher culture and is guided by fixed princi- ples. It breaks with tradition and is not dis- posed to compromise. This stalwart type was represented in the colonial period of America by the Puritans who dominated in New England and more or less in all of the colonies. About the middle of the eight- eenth century it began to give way to the pragmat- ic type. The general prosperity, following the pioneer period of hardship, tended to give the lead- ership to men who had acc...omplished material re- sults, and who valued success more than loyalty to principle or ideal.
