...Work and the Man" Mr. Fagan has written an article which does not leave an entirely clear total impress on, but which contains ideas which are suggestive, nay, startling. It is known that the Pennsylvania Railroad prefers college bred men as apprentices in the Altoona shops, but Mr. Fagan tells us that the time is fast coming when the technically trained man who starts at the bottom in such an organization as a great railroad system, need not expect promotion any faster than his less fortunate fellows. What effect will this have on the future of education? Mr. Fagan...

...England and of Salem, the old seaport for trade with the East.

It took a long time to reduce the field in the high jump to five men. Pope of Harvard, Palmer of Dartmouth, and Canfield of Yale cleared 5 feet 10 inches, but Harwood and Lawrence of Harvard tied with Rossman...
Many striking quotations from President Eliot's writings show that his policy has been inspired from the beginning by a singularly clear and comprehensive ideal of what education should be in a democracy. It should be open to all, it should foster individuality, it should produce experts and respect for experts, it should secure co-operation, and it should stimulate public spirit. These quotations from President Eliot, expressing his profound faith in a democratic society trained and enlightened as he would have it, are, I think, what will strike German readers most in the articles. They are also what will...
