Important features were sum- marized as follows: Less than unanimous agreement by juries in capital cases.

Moreover they have greater opportunities today than the nd fifty years ago.” Ford was asked whether he al- 1894, when you began tinkering |w‘nh your horseless carriage, did you?” “I always had older men for friends and I always went to them for advice. I realized that in my youth I hadn't waked up yet. “Youth and age need each other, Youth must look to age for its education,” he said. “And age edu- cates youth because youth inter- ests it. “Young men from 30 years on are the best executives—I mean they are well fitted to carry out the plans of an organization, but the best plans originate in older heads.” Asked whether 100 per cent edu- cation would not result in 100 per cent demand for “white collar jobs™ with none desiring to do the less Ppleasant tasks, Ford said: “It s a fortunate thing, per- haps, that we never can be 100 per cent educated—or anything else.
