Excerpt from The Social Condition of Labor
It is strange that in an age when social questions chal lenge so largely the thoughts of men, little attention is paid to fact in comparison with dogma. We ought not to con sider it a disparagement of theoretical principles to say that they have been pushed too far, the natural result being a threefold grouping of society: scholars preaching philo sophical beatitudes, radical divisions caring for little else save immediate material ends, while between them lies the great conserving body, by no means unsympathetic, but very often inactive from having no clear conceptions of what ought to be done. By no means socialistic in my ways of thinking, I nevertheless feel that before prescribing ideals it behooves us first to know whether the environment is adjusted to their possible realization.
