The mediocre have their innings now, and it is one of the great demands of democracy, both within and without the family, that the commonplace shall not miss its chance for learning how to serve and enjoy the best it can.

The family life must be for all, the one place in which no life is wholly sacrificed to another life.
What, then, shall be done for the gifted whose talent, like that of music, for example, means a high demand for expensive culture?
The answer we are beginning to give is that social agencies shall aid the parents in securing that culture.

Aristocracy had its "patrons" for artists.

Democracy must have its special educational aids for the gifted.

Already that demand is being met in countless ways that will readily occur to all.
