**Once,'' he said, **the great struggle of labor was to supply the necessities of life; now, but a small portion of our people are so engaged. Food, clothing and shelter are common in our country to every provident person, excepting, of course, in occa- sional accidental cases. The great demand for labor is to supply what may be termed intellectual wants, to which there is no limit, except that of intelligence to conceive. If all the relations and obligations of 159 CONCEPTION OF THE UNIVERSITY... man were properly understood, it would not be neces- sary for people to make a burden of labor. The great masses of the toilers now are compelled to perform such an amount of labor as makes life often wearisome. An intelligent system of education would correct this inequality. It would make the humblest laborer's work more valuable, it would increase both the demand and supply for skilled labor, and reduce the number of the non-producing class. It would dignify labor, and ultimately would go far to wipe out the mere distinc- tions of wealth and ancestry.
