...separate, secret sessions is, as in the past, that of their respective dollars. The average doctor on either side of the Border is barely making a living. Compulsory sickness insurance and state employment of doctors are the biggest solutions thus far offered. Both put the doctor under lay administrators, cramp the traditional practice of his profession. Organized Canadian and U. S. Medicine thus far have stubbornly fought all such lay control...
Pawson got a cramp, walked for two miles, sighed and stopped. Henigan dropped out after 17 mi. and rode the rest of the route in an automobile. For 10 mi., over the long Newton hills, Kelley and Komonen held their lead together, Kelley gaining a few steps as they plodded up, Komonen gaining a few as they coasted down the other side.

This has failed miserably; typical products of the methods in use are the Philistines, the Babbitts, who cramp all progress by their unthinking complacency. A further indictment of the public school system is evident in the predominance of youth among the criminals and gangsters. Warden Lawes has recently stated that in the last few years he has often looked at his prisoners and wondered whether he is running...
