Remote though it is from the hurly-burly of day-to-day U. S. life, the Supreme Court is not unresponsive to the shifting economic thought of the nation. Its membership changes with tim and so does its concept of the law. New ideas, like cosmic rays, have a way of penetrating its ancient wall of detachment and starting little legal revolutions in its august consciousness. Many a sage observer believes that the Supreme Court today would reverse itself on child labor, would find a way to sustain minimum wage legislation...
...This concept of peace & order in "The Way of the Perfect Emperor" and in "The Way of the Warrior," Lieut.-General Araki sometimes abbreviates by the term "Japanism," urges Japan's representatives abroad to explain and spread its gospel. Best explanation so far is that of Japanese Delegate to the League of Nations Yosuke Matsuoka, who represents Japan in Geneva this week and recently declared: "Japan can offer spirituality to America and to the entire Western world. . . .

...much more that the Conference did accomplish. In the name of His Majesty's Government, Sir Samuel, a stalwart Tory, refused to fix a date for the establishment of an Indian Federation (first step toward "dominion status") in 1935 or any other definite year.

Research imparts an atmosphere of growth and progress to any institution. Furthermore, the man who has kept abreast of contemporary thought in his subject is able to select the aspects of the most ultimate value to the student intending to continue in that particular field. Thus the combination...
...industrial scientific research,* when President Gerard Swope made Dr. Coolidge director of General Electric's research laboratories (TIME, Nov. 14). As such Director Coolidge is Laureate Langmuir's boss. Precisely, Dr. Langmuir received his award for "pioneer work in surface chemistry." This refers to his useful concept of the arrangement and orientation of molecules at the surface of objects-how, for example, gases react at the surface of a hot tungsten wire. This led him directly to the invention of the gas-filled incandecent lamp which saves U. S. users of electricity, according to estimates...
