John Dewey: “Science is converted into knowledge in its honorable and emphatic sense only in application.”

There is therefore no necessary connection between the private character of an act and its non-social or anti-social character.

There are even those who hold that the presumption is always that social loss will result from agents of the public doing anything which could be done by persons in their private capacity.

Personal loyalties to elders take the place of political obedience.

For the very familiarity with the phenomena conceals their significance and blinds us to their relation to immediate political problems.
