Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Education and the Larger Life
This method of treatment is justified by events. The same universe apparently has always sur rounded us, the same earth and air and fire and water. The stubborn facts of the world seem to remain pretty much the same. Cold and hunger and nakedness make their Old-time demands upon human activity. But from these seemingly com mon elements we build in different times and places such totally unlike worlds! There must be some unique ingredient which we severally add to the stubborn facts to work the wonder of the individual life. This ingredient is the idea. It makes the difference between savagery and civilization. What men or nations make out of their material environ ment depends solely upon the ideas which they bring to the adventure. Small ideas make a small, primitive, savage world. Great ideas make Greece or America.
