Abstract

Equality among men rests in the human traits of emotion and imagination. it is through the development of these traits that insight into the feelings of others is gained. The arts educate the imagination, providing an increased awareness of the nature of human equality and empathy for one's fellows. Such an education seems particularly important at a time when computer technology points to other priorities.
