Note 2 — I

There is a well-known Society abroad (for charitable works) of which the Members go through a two years’ probation on their first entering, but after ten years they return and go through a second probation of one year. This is one of the most striking recognitions I know of the fact that progress is always to be made: that grown-up people, even of middle-age, ought always to have their education going on. But only those can learn after middle age who have gone on learning up to middle age.
