JERRY-BUILT CHARACTER
" The average o ack to-day has no doubt} that he is as good as-some-times he thinks himself a great deal better than —the average master. He feels that in his hands the destinies of himself and all his fellows are very much, safer than before he came into his kingdom. There are too many men in Britain to-day conscious t»f the obligation of the community lo them, but comfortably obscure as to their obligations to the community. Jerry-built character, the finished produce of jerry-built thought, gives the semblance of reality, to many of those disturbing influences that are at work to-day in our national life. The chatter of modern times on the advance of modem democracy and enthronging dictatorship can all be ascribed to jerry-built thought"—Mr T. G. Graham, President of tihe British Friendly Societies.
