ABSTRACT
Five leaders, each in his own way, of modern life, have here shown how Geddes affects each one differently. Students never find even one of his students copying him, any more than he would expect an artist to copy nature. The Hope given by a study of the Geddes theory and practice is on an altogether wider basis, not the "wage-motive" but the Life-Motive, being its base. And his coming polity shows a way to work such changes that, the new environment will provide a way of living, through which the human spirit, with many of its age-long fetters knocked off, yet with its best traditions maintained and renewed, will flower anew; and as never before. For the very methods of science which have cleared the way, and have knocked off so many human fetters, are themselves only at their beginning.
