ABSTRACT
In the long run the basic culture of human society can maintain itself on no higher level than the culture of the small community. To protect that individuality each cell is surrounded by a cell membrane which separates it from all others, and tissues and organs are similarly protected. If the cell walls or tissue walls of the human body should be dissolved, the body would quickly die. The problem is to recover the essence of the integrated community, and to achieve for it a set of mores, a code and a temper of inquiry, of critical-mindedness, of intellectual freedom and intellectual interests, which, so far as possible, will leave it without inhibiting barriers. For the leaders, the problem is how to bring into being a picture of the full, well-proportioned community as it might be, and how to turn indifference and unconcern into critical but active interest.
