Excerpt from Education and the Philosophical Ideal This being so, it is wisdom to adjust ourselves at the beginning, and make up our minds that educa tion will never cease. It is impossible nowadays to prepare for a science or profession, and thereby become masters of all that is known. Even Euclid's geometry, the authority for ages, now has a rival in the field. Once adopted, the attitude of constant readjust ment is far from unpleasant. It is a healthy state of mind, this holding of all problems in solution. It immediately lifts one above time and place and the mind grows young with the ages. It does away with all the dogmatism, conceit, intolerance, and intellectual aristocracy which have encumbered human progress. It insists upon entire democracy of spirit, and the newest experimenter is welcomed as at any time likely to upset our profoundest theories. What a reformation this attitude would make if it were universal the mind can hardly con ceive, since so few have as yet attained it.
