Editor of The Social Frontier and spearhead of the whole movement for a New Order through Education is George Sylvester Counts, 44, Professor of Education at Teachers College. He is a slender man of middle height with pompadoured brown hair, a deep voice, a bristly reddish mustache. Teachers Collegians flock to his classes.
