A representative American thinker •tely aaitl to me, that, contrasting the wont jou of Anglo-Saxon inStitutiotu in Bngli.iMl with those in America, the moat impoitant raault, in hia opinion, with which we may credit ourselves on thi* cuniioeut is tltc facility of individual movement from the bottom to Ute top of the social scale. Thk k a brood, patent fact, which underlies and krgwiy causes that iiopeful energy which permeates even the lower strata of society in America, and forma a striking contrast to the social inertia and consequent men tal inactivity of the lower classes of Eng land. I think, however, that we are bound to qualify our satisfaction on thk point by the equally manifest fact that the facility of descent from the top to the bottom of the same social scale k In- W $ « Al 1 h r.

The weakening influences of wealth and high social position on the young have no adequate corrective. The ruling names in llie society or politics of one generation M-ldoin repeat themselves in the next. Each generation has to hew its beet close out of rough material taken from beneath. Now, success in life which fails to transmit as an Inheritance force or culture or superiority of some kind has failed in that point which makes mccess moat of all desirable.
