STANDARDISATION OF TYPE,

[BY STACY ARMONIER]

Every sane man is a rebel. By this I do not mean that he is necessarily a revolutionist, although he may be. What I mean is that no sans man accepts nay statement, creed, or dogma without examining it, and if it offends his reason or intelligetice he rejecta it- It is only by the processes of rebellion that any kind of moral and intellet progress is made.

One of the grim perils therefore of this af industrial Civilisation is the strong tendency to standardise the human type The Englishman reads Sinclair Lewis's realistic picture of life Western State of in the Middl America, where every ate has the same kind of house, furniture, motor-car, and mental outlook, and he puts his chest and thinks: Heavens! what a coun-- try Comfortably oblivious of the fact that the processes of Babbitry are just as active in his own circle as they are in Main-street. The only point being that he does not observe them becau they are so familiar to him. For a man to be always eating green corn on the cob appears to him to be a form of stagnant lunacy, but to have marmalade for breakfast every day of your Bife Seems increly natural and pleasant

A boy who displays any kind of originality or peculiar twist of per- sonality is regarded with alarm by his parents, and their friends say to them:

Oh, send him to a public school." That will knock all the nonsense out of him." And it does, ren at the expense of having wors nonsense knocked into him. Sent there at the pliable and in- pressionable age, he either conforms to type or gets expelled as a rebel.

The public school system has use for originality or personal idiosyn- crasies; it is out to standardise a jype. Yes," people will sag "ind a very good type too." That may be, or may not be. It does not afre the argument that the principle of sajdar- disation of the human type is thoroughly bad and reactionary one. For his ronformity invariably concerns trivial and unimportant" attitudes

For instance, a boy at a great public school like Etou or Harrow is not con- demned brefuse he is a stupid little prig, but breause he has his trousers either turned up or not turned up, whichever is contrary to scade. His conduct of life controlled by a set of arbitrary, but uitten laws, which are as imponderable and for tuitous as the laws whid overn women's hats and frucks. He taught to worship an invisible spirt which might be called: The Thing to do." It is seldots based on any kindst hyras or reason. But we unto him frac tion an atom he putrages beuling of the things which are not done "I The first law of his training a Klways to conform to type.

The consequence is that the public "school system is weakened by the fact that although it produces a type let us concede on the whole a good type-it produces no rebels. Shelley was sent down from Oxford because I was a rebel. A generation later they erected a kind of perpetual Brock's racfit to his memory, with

doomed ceiling studded with golden stars. It appeared to have taken all this time, stimulatel by the pressure of an outside aqiversal conscience, to realise that it rel better to produce one Shelley than a theatre full of Bachelors of Art.

There is nothing more diodeerting then to find oneself in a company of people presumably speaking one's ownf language but employing artacular of their own. The young

men and maidens of the "old thing" and "" old bran" persuasion are amuses to read about in a story by P. G. Fodehouse, but extremely irritating to le with for half an hour.
