...Rimsky-Korsakow's "Mlada" given by the orchestra this season. Musically this work is not of as great importance as some of his others. The last pages are weak and had to be rearranged by Mr. Monteux, who besides made many cuts to good advantage. The scoring is curiously complex and difficult. The coloring and rhythms, however, are marvelous, and we are constantly hearing novel and piquant effects as in the trilling and warbling of the wind instrucments in the Cleopatra episode.

Civilization for generations has been becoming more and more complex; it is to continue to grow more complex. The individual must prepare himself; he must look farther ahead than ever before.

...Industrial policies must be determined by the public, especially since life has become so complex. It is the interests of the whole people rather than the interests of any particular employers or employees which must be considered primarily. The answer to the question of the relation of employers to employees is that they may be only permitted to deal with each other in such a way that they will not interfere with the rights of the public such as the maintenance of satisfactory public services. There is as much reason to control labor unions as corporations and to establish open...
