e untrained one shall we bring up the halt oneor shall we lame the other one? There is no use trying to run the halves of the machine at differentspeeds. Education must not go back. The child is an egoistic parasite. The schools train him out of egoism andsomewhat out of parasitism. Eubbing up against other children gives him achance to find himself. The demand for efficiency is increasing. The public schools will findthat the burden put on them in the future will be much increased. This half of the machine cannot slow down. The other half must bespeeded up. That is not possible when the years from seven to seventeen arenot made use of for the perfection of the machine.
