I think I must keep some way of getting to know young men and teach them. I can't bear to think of any one wanting to know the doctrine of types and my not being there to explain it! There is some fundamental good about the quite pure things, like art and logic: they seem a root from which other more ordinary good things grow. Almost all the people to whom I taught logic in former years have turned out to be pacifists, because logic gave them the habit of thinking impersonally and with justice—this is so even with those who have very little heart, like Broad. I am glad you feel my lectures are doing some good. I must try to give them over again to wider audiences at cheaper rates. One can't give them free, because of the anti-German union. The chief point of them in my mind is to give people hope."
