"How can our profession hope to survive if we do not set higher literary and artistic standards?"
Simplified meaning
If people in a certain job, like writers or artists, don't try to make really good and creative work, their job might not last long. Think about a restaurant: if they don't care about making delicious food, customers will stop coming. In the same way, if writers and artists don't care about making their work as good as it can be, people will lose interest in reading and looking at their work. Over time, the profession may disappear because no one will think it's important anymore. To keep the job strong and respected, everyone in that field needs to aim for the best quality they can achieve. By setting high goals and standards, they can keep their profession alive and thriving.
