The Instant Transformation (July 14,1919)
There are some bureaucratic-style educators who, caught up in the tide of world
events, will have their rice bowls broken if they do not take defensive measures. Such
people undergo an instant transformation in which they just quietly put away their
decadent bureaucratic airs of the day before. Some of them make the change in all
sincerity, and this is very admirable. Others, whose transformations are phoney, easily
give themselves away. As for this type of people, I blush for them, and I fear for them.
