So while I have kept always at work on my ultimate idea, I've made and sold many, many pictures of Indians on all sorts of themes." Enoch looked from Diana's half eager, half abashed eyes, to the President's keen, hawk-like face, then back to Diana. "What gave you the idea to begin with?" asked the President. Diana looked thoughtfully out of the window. Both men watched her with interest.

It is obvious that the pros and cons for either course must be supposed very nearly equal, otherwise the course which presented the fewest advantages would be attended with the probable gradual extinction of the organised beings that adopted it, but there being supposed two possible modes of action very evenly balanced as regards advantage and disadvantages, then the ultimate appearance of two corresponding forms of life is a sequitur from the admission that form varies as function, and function as opinion concerning advantage.

"I have lived too ungodly a life," I protested, "to be able to squeeze into Paradise through so narrow a tate. As you would hope for your own ultimate salvation, Excellency, I do beseech you not to imperil mine." This disposed him, at least, to listen to me, and proceeded to assure him of the harmless nature of my visit to the hall in quest of wine to quench my thirst.

He would have none of a formal and merely decorative beauty a beauty serving no expressional need of the heart or the imagination. In this ultimate sense he is to be regarded as a realist a realist with the romantic's vision, the romantic's preoccupation; and yet he is as alien to the frequently unleavened literalism of Richard Strauss as he is to the academic ideal.

With these limitations and restrictions, and with this express understanding in regard to what is, in all cases, the ultimate authority, I think there will be no danger in throwing a very large share of the business which will, from time to time, come up in the school, upon the scholars themselves for decision.
