How are we to ensure the progres sive development of that all-signi- answer, surely. acant quality? The lies in the word Education. Not the mero education of school and Uni- versity, though that is important; but the wider education which is sc- quired by men and women of the world through human contacts.

We still know little of the real- ties of each other's lives on both sides of the English Channel. The French are not travellers, but stay- at-homes. They think there is no country on earth like their own, and who shall blame them?' And so, having the best, they do not leave it.

Frenchmen should travel more. In particular, they should come more often to Britain, to see how we live, and what it is that makes us, des- pite all our fallinge from illo- gicality and sentimentality down- wards, a power still in the affairs of the modern world.
