We will clude with a quotation from " The Higher Education, " or the Book of Platitudes, as fners sider it. "The Gover of the Empire," it is said in that book, "should begin with the proper administration of the State; the administration of the State begins with the regulation of the family; the regulation of the family begins with the cultivation of the individual." This, then, is what we mean by ese Scholarship.

APPENDIX
the religion OF mob-worship OR the war AND the way out
Frankreich s traurig Geschick, die Grosser! mogen s bedenken,
Aber bedenken fiirwahr sollen es Kleine nech mehr ;
Grossen gingen zu Grunde ; dock wer beschittze die Menge
Gegen die Mengef Da -war Menge der Meyrann.
Goethe
Professor Lowes Dison of Cambridge Uy in an eloquent passage of his article on "The War and the Way out," says: "The future (the future of civilisation in Europe, he means) ot be moulded to any purpose until the plain men and women, workers with their hands and workers with their brains in England and in Germany and in all tries get together and say to the people who have led them into this catastrophe and will lead them into such again and again, "No more! No more! And never again! you rulers, soldiers and diplomats, you whh the long agony of history have ducted the destinies of mankind and ducted them to hell, we do now repudiate you. Our labour and our blood have been at your disposal. They shall be so no more. You shall not make the peace as you have made the war. The Europe that shall e out of this war shall be our Europe. And it shall be one in whiother European
Dreadful is Frances misfortuhe Classes should truly bethink them,
But still more of a truth, the Masses should lay it to heart. Classes were smashed up; well then, but who will proteow the Masses
Gainst the Masses? Against the Masses the Masses did rage.war shall be never possible. "
That is the dream of the socialists now in Europe. But such a dream, I am afraid, ever be realised. When the plain men and women in the tries of Europe get rid of the rulers, soldiers and diplomats and take into their own hands the question of pead war with another try, I am perfectly sure, before that very question is decided, there will be quarrels, broken heads and wars between the plain men and women themselves in every try. Take the case of the Irish question i Britain. The plain men and women in Ireland in trying to take into their own hands the question even of how to govern themselves were actually flying at each others throats and if this greater war had not e, would at this moment, be cutting each others throats.
Now in order to find a way out of this war, we must first of all, find out the in, the cause of this war; find out who was really responsible for this rof essor Dison would have us believe that it was the rulers, soldiers and diplomats who have led the plain men and women into this catastrophe,_into this hell of a war. But I think, I prove, that it was not the rulers, soldiers and diplomats who have led the plain men and women into this war, but it was the plain men and women who have driven and pushed the poor helpless rulers, soldiers and diplomats of Europe into this hell of a war.
Let us first take the case of the actual rulers, _the Emperors, Kings and Presidents of Republiow in Europe.
