Struggle forces upon the group the necessity of cozening, beguiling, managing its members. The vast majority of these fall into a broad zoneof mediocrity which embodies group character and represents a generaladjustment to life-conditions. From this medial area individuals vary, some in ways which aid the group in its competition, others in a fashionwhich imperils group success. It is the task of the group both topreserve the solidarity of the medial zone and to discriminate betweenthe servicea...ble and the menacing variants. The latter must be coerced orsuppressed, the former encouraged and given opportunity. In Plato's_Republic_ the guardians did this work of selection which in moderngroups is cared for by processes which seem only slightly conscious andpurposeful. The competing group in seeking to insure acquiescence and loyaltyelaborates a protective philosophy by which it creates within itsmembers the belief that their lot is much to be preferred to that ofother comradeships and associations.
