For freedom without education is a myth. By degrees men and women are making ready to take their places in an emulative rather than a materialistically competitive order.
He also knew, being an enthusiast for experimental science, that in order to control the movement of matter which is to realise those virtues and perfections it is better to trace the movement of matter materialistically; for it is in the act of manifesting its own powers, and not, as Socrates and the Scholastics fancied, by obeying a foreign magic, that matter sometimes assumes or restores the forms so precious in the healer's or the moralist's eyes.
It is natural that in these days, when the approved gospel is that it is better to be dead than not to be Real, society should try to approach nature by the way of the materialistically ignoble, and even go such a pace of Realism as literature finds it difficult to keep up with; but it is doubtful if the young woman will get around to any desirable state of nature by this route.
