Abstract

It is one of the ironies of history that modern American civilization, noted for educational activity unequaled in extent, if not in quality, in any previous era, has arrived at a point of development notable for disillusionment, bewilderment, confusion, anxiety, fear, terror, and despair, which are also unparalleled, if not intensively then certainly extensively, in any former epoch.
