...colleges are still far from their maximum efficiency, and many of the men who fail to get their degree might well be saved. Mr. Nichols' article explains the fundamental reason that underlies many failures, but there is no lack of opportunity for those seeking to perfect the educational organization...
Editorial comment is universal in decrying any interested attempt to block a parley which seemed to promise a long step on the road to universal peace. It is hard to see how any intelligent opinion can fail to repudiate such small minded paltering with matters so vital to humanity as a whole, but it is still too early to make specific charges. In a social system which depends so entirely upon the integrity of big corporations, even the most radical can derive but a sad sort of pleasure in a gleeful "I told you so" when big business is cast...

Too many laws today make "criminals" out of unoffensive citizens. Under our present system the most law-abiding citizen breaks on the average of 20 laws, and ordinances, each and every 24 hours. Over-crowding of prisons in U. S. is due to large extent to persons being made "criminals" by law, without possessing criminal intents and propensities...
