DAMAND FOR NATIVE WIT.
■“What the now century demands of ns. I contend, is the development of individuality, and pirtienlarlv the individuality of average men and women, the people who have hitherto been supposed to have no individuality at all. 'Tie mis'sike we have made in the past is tin” we have vet knowledge in the first p ace; not educating in the strict sense, hut imparting useful information. The mistake is a very natural one; must men are prove enough In admit their lack of knowledge ; but they are by no means so ready to admit their lack of v.it. As Locke shrewdly observes: ‘When by their want of thought . . thev are led into mistake. . . they impute it to any error, accident, or default of others, Hither than to their,own want of understanding; that is what nobodv discovers or complains of in himself,” —The late Dr James Ward.
