The other day Prof. Charles Mills Gayley, retiring dean of the department of English of the University of Cali- fornia, speaking before a gathering of the alumni of that great institution, said: “Our mass system of education is a menace to the edu ' cational life of the nation.

One- © third of the present study body here are misfits for college 4 s and one-half the remaining two-thirds should be p eliminated.” ‘ That's pretty severe talk, isn’t it? If a newspaper editor were to get off anything like that he'd be regarded a “sensational,”’ would he not?

Even Economics Are Against Gary _ Not even the economics of the steel situation back up of the U. S. Steel corporation in his argument for a hour day for steel workers. Of course, every human and humane consideration and y consideration of good citizenship are in everlasting pposition to his proposition. As to the economics, Gary claims that the insufficiency labor makes it impossible to meet the steel require- nts of the domestic and foreign market, without 12- our-a-day slavery in the steel mills. ‘The fact seems to be indisputable that at the present, for some months past, 90 per cent level of production the steel industry, we are producing more steel than € can economically use or export. The significant figure of “unfilled tonnage” for April less than for March, indicating that production and ces have reached a peak. According to the best experts on steel economics, the ‘ket would soon be glutted at the present rate of pro- ion. There does not seem to be the slightest doubt without the addition of a single steel worker, the ent force on an eight-hour-a-day basis could produce the steel that the market can absa@rb, during the next months. There is just one reasonable interpretation of the Gary 2-hour-a-day attitude. He is trying to create public sen- ment favorable to an influx of foreign labor. The more diluted the steel labor market, the easier for Gary to snforce his un-American terms on steel workers. the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust thou return.—Gen. iii.:19. ‘You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends magine you to be—Lavater. is the divine law of our existence; repose is desertion and suicide. zzini.

Henry said he didn’t want the Bill refused it, Oscar was off of apple pie forever Bob couldn’t digest it. As each refused the cut, he eked up his gun and took his separate way into the foods. Soon the apple pie, alone and lonely, reposed on e log. Each man, as soon as he was out of sight of companions, promptly dropped to his knees and began to stealthily crawl toward the log with the purpose of ig the pie. All four arrived within sight of the suc- mule t morsel at the same moment and each gazed on it covetous eyes.
