Professor George La Piana in his criticism of the recent treaty between the Italian government and the Pope, emphasises the fact that this agreement again gives the church control of the destiny of Italy in permitting the ecclesiastical powers to direct the educational system. According to this pact, there will be compulsory religious training in all schools and colleges, in addition to the fact that the appointment and discharge of instructors will be determined by their achievements in the light of the papal standards. In appearance at least, Italy has fallen into the same rut of church domination that still...
...unusual feature of this arrangement is that Mussolini seems to be willing to let such considerable power escape from his dictatorial control and fall into the hands of a late antagonistic faction. It is especially striking in view of the fact that he has expended so much effort in bringing Italy under the absolute control of the civil government. He takes no consideration of the fact that in a few years the Italian nation will consist of those persons whose education he is now entrusting to an institution that by its very nature can not be anything but reactionary...
...this revival of the feudal method of allowing the church to control student thought is but a diplomatic gesture, there must be some unknown aspects of the question to necessitate taking such a risk.

Religion is moral, while education is intellectual, and an attempted combination of the two results in stagnation...
Commenting on the proposed conference, at which an attendance of approximately 20 is expected, Coach E. Wachter of Harvard declared, "The duty of a good official is to keep the game fast, clean, and under control. By that I do not mean that it should be a game of indoor football; but a great many officials have been too strict in handling a game. At present many games are being won from the foul line instead of from the floor. A uniform type of official who will speed up the action is needed; and I believe that the meeting...
Surely hostile will be the Pennsylvania, which only last year bought control of the Wabash and might well object to relinquishing this major line (2,400 miles). The Pennsylvania is also understood to be sympathetic with the ambitions of Charles Farrand Taplin, who is trying to put together a fast coal route from Toledo to the Atlantic and all of whose prospective roads (particularly the Western Maryland) are included in the B. & O. plan. The Pennsylvania, affluent, central, well satisfied with existing conditions, has no more reason to applaud new consolidations than Great Britain had reason to applaud Napoleon...
