The Humanitarian Lays Stress Almost Solely Upon

To Say That Most Of Us Today Are Purely Expansive Is Only Another Way Of Saying That Most Of Us Continue To Be More Concerned With The Quantity Than With The Quality Of Our Democracy.

A Remarkable Feature Of The Humanitarian Movement, On Both Its Sentimental And Utilitarian Sides, Has Been Its Preoccupation With The Lot Of The Masses.

The Democratic Idealist Is Prone To Make Light Of The Whole Question Of Standards And Leadership Because Of His Unbounded Faith In The Plain People.

Tell Him, On The Contrary, That He Needs, In The Interest Of His Own Happiness, To Walk In The Path Of Humility And Self-control, And He Will Be Indifferent, Or Even Actively Resentful.

We Must Not, However, Be Like The Leaders Of The Great Romantic Revolt Who, In Their Eagerness To Get Rid Of The Husk Of Convention, Disregarded Also The Humane Aspiration.
