ABSTRACT
In Ancient Greece the temple standing in its grove of trees was the meeting-place for all the citizens. From that time not only did the past become an element in the conscious life of civilization, by the discovery of history, but the different sections of human race began to be in continuous contact. Europe discovered the other parts of the world; China and India began to contribute ideas and experience to the composite that people now call civilization. But among the few free men there was a full sense of community, of equality, and of the dependence of each upon all. First, people must displace economic terms from the precedence they have recently been given. They must think of the civilization of the future, then, not mainly in economic terms, but by imagining men and women and children who are not deaf to music or blind to painting, who can talk skillfully and walk gracefully, who can dance and sing.
