126 DARWINISM AND HUMAN LIFE 



human progress has been mainly the history of 

 man's higher educability, the products of which 

 he has projected on to his environment. This 

 educability remains, on the average, what it was 

 a dozen generations ago ; but the thought- woven 

 tapestry of his surroundings is refashioned and 

 improved by each succeeding generation." 



" Few men have in greater measure enriched the 

 thought-environment with which it is the aim of 

 education to bring educable human beings into 

 vital contact than has Charles Darwin."
