The Importance of Education to the Unseeing and Blind

Not everything is democratic in the modern sense of being equally accessible to or achievable by all. The idea of equality, held with catechetical reverence in a democratic society, has none the less been created by minds that came before theirs. Political democracy is doomed if it tries to extend its demands for equality into these higher spheres. Ethical, intellectual or aesthetic democracy is death. These words merely aletist at first sight to the unseeing or electively blind.
