The commission, it seems, ‘accepts the premise that the liberal colleges must rec- egnize the changed’ status of those in-their usualsage groups.’ It does not, apparently, consiger the alternative which presents it- self to these institutions.” This alternatixe has been clearly stated by Mortimer- J. Adler, author of Hew to Readsa Book, in ex; cessing his opposition to goverment subsidies to save liberal educa- tion. What does MrAdler suggest? Here it ist OTS “The colleges of be s country can save them- selves by doing now’as'a matter of expediency what they should have ‘done before as prin- ciple, They can en ng keys at the age of fif- teen and give them a truly liberal education in the three years before the draft age is reached. In this way they will not:only save themselves, butfthey will do more than governnfefit’stib- sidif§ could ever\da iad liberal egucagion , F decay.” ; ; 2 Wis Bhis is a practical suggestion. The op} jection immediately arises that our high schooJs do not prepare boys of fifteen for college. This may be true but there is no reason why our high schools should not do so. Ittis easily possible, during the war, for our educative machinery to be stepped up bit, to meet Mr. Adler’s idea that: “The four-year college to my mind gives the BA. degree four years too late.

Some people, seemingly they include some councilmen, are under the impression that the legislature can do whatever it wishes to do. They apparently don’t know that the legislature is just as amenable to the basis law as is the man-on-the-street.

The operators, despite the fact they have been faced, and are still being faced, with an acute shortage of help, are still carrying on, still giving the public service. They may or may not have earned a few dimes, but let us say they have earned an abundance of dimes and dollars too.
