Strange Metamorphosis It isn’t every day that America produces a man with the eminent qualities of the late Frank Vanderlip. - It is more unusual still for a man with the background which was his to return to it, at least in spirit, in his declining years. i ‘Vanderlip was a small-town boy who made good. In his active business career he rose from apprentice in a little machine shop to the presidency of on¢.of the nation’s greatest banks. And then, having achieved the top, he resigned his posi-|. tion. A nostalgia for the simplicity of his youth caught up with him. He could have gone on piling up dollars but he couldn’t quite see the point. “We are in the most interesting time in history. Men of large affairs are, as a rule, too busy looking after dollars to pay due attention to the great problms now before the world.” This was both a gentle and a terrible indictment to Jevel | may phedbg ete, Green won’ against American business leaders. It came from one of the Patan dl ca eMac biggest of them who, thereupon, proceeded to mend his ways. | cool his heels unnecessarily. He attempted to view the American scene broadly, free from the impetus of dollar chasing. He wrote vivdly and intel- ligently but there was about his literary efforts an obvious attempt to adjust old ideals to new times in which they were pretty generally ignored. : His business discussions smacked somewhat of liberalism and hence he was scorned by the dollar chasers, but had his advice been heeded it is possible that much of the industrial strife now facing the country would have been forestalled. He predicted its coming. But, even though his record showed him to be a man of hard common sense and practical enough to roll up a huge|; fortune, his erstwhile business. contemporaries scorned his sug- gestions as those of a man “gone soft.” He could talk because | ° he had made his pile. They wanted to get theirs. \ Thus Vanderlip’s suggestions for business reform were those of a prophet crying in the wilderness, He always retained the respect of: his associates but the men whom he had hoped to influence were the least, touched. Vanderlip’s metamorphosis from a practical money-maker to an avowed liberal justifies for him an unusual place in Amer- ican business.. It is outshone only by John D. Rockefeller’s change from a money-grabber to the greatest philanthropist in modern history. Fighting Schoolman In the death of William McAndrew, former superintendent ._f schools at Chicago, America loses a man who epitomized much -that was good and some that was bad in the American scholastic system. a4 ee ia He was, in the best sense of the word, a fighting man as well as a teacher. Throughout his lifetime he had the courage to follow the principles which he espoused. “Fired” as principal of a suburban Chicago high school because he refused to grant a diploma to the ‘son of an influential man who had “flunked” his studies, he went on to prominence in the school system of New York City, where he was associate superintendent for years, and finally returned to-Chicago as the head of’ its’ vast school organization. McAndrews was a tian who taught the truth, if he could ascertain what it was, and encouraged others to.do so. He had little time for the honey-coated, sa¢charine-sweet brand of teach- ing which tells people what they want to-hear rather than what is true. E For political purposes Chicago’s Big Bill Thompson hailed every participant in the American Revolution as a disinterested ~ patriot, actuated only. by high purpose. - McAndrew, as super- intendent of schools, bought some books which intimated to the reader that one or two of them might have been a little less than angelic in some respects. Hence McAndrew was branded as a “stool pigeon” for King George and eventually. removed from office after a trial on accusations that he was pro-British. In its way that trial was as ludicrous as the famous Stokes monkey trial in Tennessee—and no more enlightened, _ But McAndrew also had a besetting fault. He was arbi- trary and autocratic. Keen of mind himself, he had little patience with persons not so gifted. The result was.that.a great many of them became peeved at him. That accounted for his downfall ‘after nearly 40 years at or near the top in the school systems of the nation’s two largest cities. ‘ ’ There is-a lesson for other educators in the McAndrew |s autobiography. It is to be true to'one’s self, but to be pleasant | “1° while doing so. + Required Readin F ' No:part of a'dietatorship looks fi , to‘inhabitants of a democracy than its newspapers: And one of the funniest de-| ‘ velopments of all comes from Berlin, where a law journal sug- gests that under Nazi law it: may be s misdemeanor to fail to read the daily papers.
