Unless the proposed change is inaugurated with caution, forethought minute attention, and rigid determination to exact the responsibility that goes with freedom, it will either accomplish nothing or will wreck more students than we can afford to lose.

The principle of the law was called into question by some jurists at the time of its adoption, and there was the natural doubt as to whether the law would accomplish its purpose. The latest development is a rather humorous one. A sudden increase in violent crime in the city of Washington along with a pronounced decrease in New York has led the authorities to the conclusion that New York gangs are taking to the road as a result...
