strictly none of his business doctor gives beliefs he believes that economic and political adjustments international conferences and leagues suffrage reform technocracy and blue eagles are therapeutic measures to meet emergencies of a body already sick and that education is the only avail able prophylaxis in my own field he continued we have recognized that preven tive medicine saves an infinite

far-sighted the sick man shouts for a doc tor the well man objects to the discomfort of vaccination and the anaemic child protests against spin ach and cod liver oil education is the vaccination and the spinach the cod liver oil of the body politic there is no longer a ruling class rooted in traditions and mon opolizing learning for the first time in the history of the world as men can read and write and in most en lightened states all men can vote these things can never again be changed we cannot be still we cannot go backward and the present state of the world proves that we cannot stand still in the half-enlightenment of the masses on whom the permanence of our insti tutions depend it is clearly up to education education has the bear by the tail and cannot let go as an instrument for raising the general intellectual and political standards of our national life the high school period is probably the most important part of the educa tional system if the teachers in these schools could be given the dignity and erudition of the profes sors in the french lycees and the german gymnasia and could be ele vated in regard to salaries and so cial prestige to the levels of the fac ulties of colleges 50 years might well cure many of the sicknesses from which our democracy suffers at present the transition from the high schools to the colleges should be one of rigid selection of the educat able minority it is in this sense of selection that i think education must become less democratic if it is prop erly to serve the purposes of de mocracy the college as it has de veloped in our system should con continued on page six freshman class numbers 336 1,313 are registered statistics showing a drop of 34 in enrollment since last year were given out at the registrar's office
