542 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1958 
the environmental phase of it summarized under (i) and (2) is 
actually causally important, and to what extent the environmental 
factors are related to the blossoming out of fantasy, are questions 
which could be examined experimentally, though obviously any 
thorough experiment would require both a great deal of money and a 
certain degree of audacity. It might be remarked that the mass edu- 
cation of our public school system is, in its way, a vast experiment on 
the effect of reducing all three of the above factors to minimal values, 
and should, accordingly, tend to suppress the occurrence of genius.
