sar, suggested an intercollegiate feder-
ated clearing house which would handle
the material and suggestions gathered in
colleges.

Judge Florence Allen, Justice of the
Supreme Court of Ohio and commence-

ment speaker at Bryn Mawr _ this year,

charged us to use our college “educations
to obliterate the usual American fault of
knowing only one side of the question.
We should recognize facts as facts and
exercise constructive criticism on our-
selves* not only as individuals, but as a
nation. For example, we should not deny
—just because our gourts are American—
the truth of Taft’s’ statement that -the
criminal courts are a disgrace to the
United States. Those courts are our
courts and we are-responsiblé for them.

In England a jury is empanelled in
fofir minutes—and a good jury, too, wifile
the United States takes nearly a week.
The cases in Engldnd are finished in a
month and in America in at least a year.
And wherever there is such a delay there
are more opportunities for injustice.

Our greatest inheritance was the ex-
periment to form a goyernment for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. W ar
is against life, and injustice against lib-

talks of inferior human stock; the econo-
mist claims modern industry” carries its
own seeds of destruction; the “breezy”
psychologist decries the preseyge of the
“mob mind;” the “rotund cat radiant”
administrator laments the lack of first-
rate executive ability; the political scien-

tist shouts forth the jealousy and tyrrany

of democracy,-which in itself. is an indi-
cation of decadence; the historian pro-
pound the coming of. another “dark age,”
since we have stopped producing a cul-
ture and are merely living on a civiliza-
tion, the first step in decay; and the mor-
alist forever. exclaims over the: rolled
stockings and. heretic philosophy of the
“vounger generation.”

A Challenge

Small colleges alk over the’ country, so

it would appear from those represented
at the Annual Conference of the League
of Women Voters, have discussion groups
for current affairs; some study present-
day problems in courses for credit. The
big Eastern colleges all have Polity Clubs

of huge membership; sometimes putting.
on debates between professors or stu- ’

dents, and at other times offering an open-
ing presentation” of a topic followed by
discussion from the floor,
