yd George, _op. cit._, p. 81. [51] Winston Churchill, _op. cit._, p. 101. [52] John A. Hobson, "The Crisis of Liberalism," p. 3. [53] Professor Simon Patten, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, July, 1908. [54] Speech of President Hadley before the Brooklyn Institute of Art and Sciences (1909). [55] A more democratic and truthful view of the German educational system is that of Dr. Abraham Flexner (see the _New York Times_, October 1, 1911). He says that the Germans have to solve the following kind of an educational problem:-- "What sort of educational program can we devise that will subserve all the various national policies--that will enable Germany to be a great scientific nation, that will enable it to carry on an aggressive colonial and industrial policy, and yet not throw us into the arms of democracy? Their present educational system is their highly effective reply. "Our problem is a very different one," Dr. Flexner remarks. "Our historic educational problem has been and is quite independent of any position we might be able to achieve in the world. That problem has always been: How can we frame conditions in which individuals can realize the best that is in them?" Dr. Flexner is then reported to have quoted the following from a Springfield Republican editorial:-- "Germany could readily train her masses with a view to industrial efficiency, whereas our industrial efficiency is only one of the efficiencies we care about; the American wishes to develop in many other ways, and to have his educational system help him to do it."
