In reply to a vote of thanks, Professor Sadler said that 
they were face to face with new conditions, new and far- 
reaching problems, and new struggles. How uncertain they 
were about the scientific conditions which were going to 
govern the next generation ! In England they had been 
really weak in their disregard of child life. The amount of 
wealth in the true sense they had wasted through sending 
children too soon to work, through not getting the right 
conditions of life and right feeding, and through stupidly 
forgetting the power of skilful teaching for the ordering of 
right life ! Surely they must feel that the time for much 
more searching control from above, imposed by the will of 
the people for the good of all, was coming, and if collective 
control comes, then they would need pari passu a strengthen- 
ing of individuality.
