I tried looking for an existing thread to post this in and couldn't find one. I think the "be" after "brought" may be a typo?
Yes, it is. I just checked the PDF I have.
Thank you!

I just corrected it.

The first time I read this, I didn't even see the extra 'be'. I had to read it again after I saw you mention the extra 'be' below it. I literally had to look for it. My mind didn't want to see it there.

I do that, too - which is probably why I miss a lot of these kinds of typos.
I think there may also be a typo on page 76. " either we are waking up to what is in them, or the children are indeed advancing in the van of the times, holding in light grasp the gains of the past, the possibilities of the future." Is it supposed to be "van?" or is it supposed to be "vain?"

Van = vanguard, forefront. Not a typo.

Good to know, thank you!
