transcription tips
As anyone who has ever read any of the other writings of this observer already knows, he believes fully in the ability of Mankind to ruse to far greater heights than he has over yet attained. He feels that, inherently, Man is able to climb to peaks as yet unguessed. But it cannot be done without a far more advanced system of education then any that has yet been put into general practice. But he is glad to report that it is being done, however slow may seem to be the advance. There have been, it is true, many writers past and present, who have said these things before and far better than this scribe can say them. There has been a slow but definite climb towards those goals in the past few decades. But the advance could be so much swifter if only people in high places would drop their own selfish attitudes, and allow the swifter advance. Could it be that they recognize that it would mean the loss of their power, when the great mass of people should by proper education, find out how they have been mulcted[?] and betrayed by those whom they placed in high positions of honor and trust? There is little hope of any such sudden change in the present set-ups. It must -- and, thank God, it WILL -- come gradually but surely. Oh, to be living through this and the coming century, to see that advance. Meanwhile, we can all of us who recognize these needs, do our small part in hastening their homecoming, if we will take advantage of every opportunity to make new converts to the cause of greater education for all people; to add our voices to those who are working towards the awakening, no matter if our hopes of present or immediate success do sometimes seem small. For "constant dripping does wear away a stone". That is why this observer is content to be a "drip", in spite of the unflattering connotation of that expression in our very modern slang. This article is but a small "drop" -- but it may start someone thinking. 24
