WHAT I BELIEVE
to the millennium. There is no short cut to the good life, whether individual or social. To build up the good life, we must build up intelligence, selfcontrol, and sympathy. This is a quantitative matter, a matter of gradual improvement, of early training, of educational experiment. Only impatience prompts the belief in the possibility of sudden improvement. The gradual improvement that is possible, and the methods by which it may be achieved, are a matter for future science. But something can be said now. Some part of what can be said I shall try to indicate in a final chapter.
