Paragraph for Precis
The teacher, like the artist, the philosopher and the man of letters, can only perform his work adequately if he feels himself to be an individual directed by an inner creative impulse, not dominated and fettered by an outside authority. It is very difficult in this modern world to find a place for the individual. He can subsist at the top as a dictator in a totalitarian state or a plutocratic magnate in a country of large industrial enterprises, but in the realm of the mind it is becoming more and more difficult to preserve independence of the great organized forces that control the livelihood of men and women.
If the world is not to lose the benefit to be derived from its best minds, it will have to find some method of allowing them scope and liberty in spite of organisation. This involves a deliberate restraint on the part of those who have power and a conscious realisation that there are men to whom free scope must be afforded. Renaissance Popes could feel in this way towards. Renaissance artists, but the powerful men of our day seem to have more difficulty in feeling respect for exceptional genius. The turbulence of our times is inimical to the flowering of culture.
The man in the street is full of fear and therefore unwilling to tolerate freedoms for which he sees no need. Perhaps we must wait for quieter times before the claims of civilisation can again override the claims of party spirit. Meanwhile, it is important that some at least should continue to realise the limitations of what can be done by organisation. Every system should allow loopholes and exceptions, for if it does not, it will in the end, crush all that is best in man.
