brain tracks for nations immediately. This brings me to the two horns of my dilemma. In installing new brain tracks for nations it is not practicable for me to take up people who disagree with me--say a hundred million people or so and ship them to Alexander in London and have them done over by Alexander. What is the best possible substitute arrangement that can be made for having a whole nation put into perfect psycho-mechanical shape by Alexander so that it will take the first new brain tracks kindly? The principles for giving people new brain tracks toward their own bodies which Mr. Alexander has so successfully demonstrated, are the same principles which I have been trying for a long time to express and apply to ideas and to all phases of the personal and the national life. Where I have been studying for years as an artist, the art of changing my own mind and other people's about ideas, of working out new spiritual experiences for myself and other people, Alexander in his workroom in London has been engaged in changing people's minds toward their bodies, in giving men new brain tracks toward their own bodies. It is obvious that these principles--Alexander's principles for installing new physical experiences and mine for installing new spiritual ones, must be if they are fundamental or are worth anything, the same. My own feeling is that if anybody can go to Alexander and can be done over by Alexander personally in London that is the best thing to do. But it is inconvenient for a hundred million people to crowd into Alexander's office in London, and it is comparatively convenient and roomy for a hundred million people if they want to, to crowd into a book. Before giving the principles, I would like to state the question--What are the steps we all can use--those of us who are not Alexander--to install new brain tracks in this nation? The principles upon which, as it seems to me, new brain tracks for this nation should be installed and which I would like to deal with are these: First. Get people first to recognize with regard to new brain tracks, the fact that they do not want them. Second. Get their attention to what people with new brain tracks seem to be able to do in the way of getting in our present moving world, the things they want. People go to Alexander and ask him for new brain tracks. Something corresponding to this has to be got from people before offering them new brain tracks in a con
