4. Again, if the past has taught any lesson with more than usual clearness, it is this, that the hopes of our race for a brighter and happier future depend solely on the increasing culture of the largest possible number of its members ; and that this culture must receive its impulse from the higher centers of learning. Nay, more ; it teaches that every step of educational progress has resulted, not from the efforts of ambitious ignorance to struggle upward, but from a helpful influence reaching... downward from what is highest in education, and aiding to lift towards itself masses otherwise in- ert and unprogressive ; and that hence the chief hope of mankind for intellectual and spiritual elevation must be found in the spread aiid activity of high-class schools. And this is precisely what might be expected ; for, without such stimulus, the average un- lettered man is but dimly con.scious of his limitations and of his higher needs, if indeed he has any consciousness of them at all.
Feeling keenly only the wants, and knowing only the enjoyments, which appeal to the lower side of his nature, unless some impulse comes to him from above, rousing him to an ennobling discontent, and pointing him to gratifications for the higher nature that is dor- mant within him, what hope can be found for his elevation ?
