Yet in this as inall other great advancements, we find the two antagons istic factions, the radical and the con | servative, struggling with each other. | The conservative faction is represented by those teachers who seek to maintain, and have a reverence for the old older of things. They are opposed to any change, be it for better or worse, The radical faction is represented by those who strive to break loose from the old and bring in the new. It is composed mainly of those “less thoughful but | more demonstrative who have joined in the hue and cry for change, because it is popular to denounce the old and hail the new.” Both of these factions are | necessary for healthful growth, and the one without the other would soon be come abnormal.
