본문내용
In Greek mythology there is a story of a bandit named Procrustes who fitted each of his victims to an iron bed. If he was too short, he stretched him on a rack; and, if he was too long, He amputated his legs at the right point. He insisted that no one was an early proponent of standardization.
But he would be amazed to find in us, centuries later, a similar uniformity. As Procrustes insisted on conformity to his particular height, modern society has insisted on conformity to a particular level the average. Perhaps you have noticed in your life, as l have in mine, the readiness with which we Chinese accept the common and the ordinary, and the skepticism with which we regard the different and the superior. The individuality we often ridicule; but the parrot we applaud.
Today many kindergarten hobbyhorses are placed out of bounds, now that school consultants are convinced that they don믾t develop the "group spirit".

In some places citizens go so far as to term special classes for extraordinary student, then, is usually mocked rather than admired.

Advertisers persuade us to buy "the cigarette most people smoke", "the most popular car in its field". They find that we are often tempted by the items other people like, so they tend to take advantage of our desire to have that others have, to do what others do.
Our exaltation of the average is evident also in modern politics. Pohtical office seekers, all too often, have only to boast that they are "simple, ordinary, uneducated men", and we accept them.
They have convinced us they are average. It is as though, in an age crying for exceptional lead
