64 Outlook to Nature 



city is not their realm ; and men are to be 

 taught in their own realms. 



We shall have more colleges and universities 

 rather than fewer ; these institutions will serve 

 mankind ; they will be where the problems of 

 mankind are; some will be in metropolitan 

 cities and some in cities of lesser estate ; some 

 of them will be rural ; a college will not neces- 

 sarily be useful in proportion as it is bulky; 

 methods and ideas associated with colleges will 

 probably crystallize around new foci, and what 

 is now considered to be central may some day be 

 considered as peripheral. Very likely we shall 

 see again the rise of the individual, unattached, 

 and isolated teacher, who shall cut himself free 

 from all cults and systems and take his fol- 

 lowers directly out to nature. 



The city galleries and collections. 



The extract that I quoted pleads the value 

 of collections and galleries. But " collections " 

 are only incidents in any educational scheme. 

 We have made the mistake of considering them 

 to be of first importance.
