"VENEER OF EDUCATION "
" At the present time, when everybody is able to read, and yet scarcely one person in twenty is able to perceive what is worth reading, when the veneer of education is often qute Unaccompanied by any sense of values, when men and women are thirsting for excitement and stimulus and sensationalism, the conditions provide a field in which debased standards of taste have a greater opportunity of doing harm than ever before; and we may be quite certa'in that the hai'm done will react to the impoverishment and degradation of many elements in life which seem remote from art or literature. There is not one cf us who cannot, if he will, help to uphold in the world that sense of values which is being attacked and undermined."—The Headmaster of Merchant Taylors' School, the Rev. C. F. Russell, B.D.
