ABSTRACT
The marks of a Politics of Reason are—forethought, clearness of aim, constructive purpose, sense of responsibility and valiant trust in one's own strength. General education will only be realised under the protection of the Politics of Reason. The education of political leaders must be ventured upon and completed before the Politics of Reason has arrived at supremacy in the State. Education for political leadership has an aim all the more clear and defined, as it is based upon the philosophic theory of the State. The fruitful co-operation of political theory and educational praxis may begin. The great leaders of humanity have gifts which no education imparts: the passionate feeling, the sense of what is attainable, the eye for men, the power of language. The foundation of a bond of faith between leader and followers must be laid in their fellowship in education.
