Knulund'a Old Individualism.
He pointed out that tho program oC
the Lloyd Georgo movement is tending to
leaii away from England's old Individ
ualism. He said the movement in
cluded the plan of taking to oommunal
use the unearned increment in land val
ues, and while Lloyd George did not
always definitely comm.t himself, many
pf his enthusiastic followers nro out-and-out
slngle-tuxers.
"Agricultural and .scientific courses."
said the professor, "tire rupldl; finding
h place in the schools of England, and
while the school system has not yet
reached the efficiency or ,lho Grnwn-i
system, It Is rapidly being Improved. lV
question of public heuith Is also being'
made a national responsibility."
He pronounced the entire movement as
one toward the redemption of the land of
Gladstone, Cromwell and Tennyson, but
said thero was a distinct strain of pes
simism noticeable, and that this must be
overcome.
"If the mdvement carries through
well," he Bald, "It will mean the redemp
tion of England, but a single slip along
the way may be disastrous, and the
leadership of the world will pass from
England. It will then be a struggle be
tween Germany and America, for world
supremacy."
