...study of origins, however, will not cure the evil; it must be met by stricter classification of schools into technical and cultural, and by increased financial support. The abject resignation of Dr. Kallen and others will accomplish nothing...
Their life was a succession of frustrations. Leora's effort for a child was abortive. Arrowsmith's country practice in her home town - Wheatsylvania, N. D. - was satisfying (despite her puny relatives) until he indulged in research to cure a cattle-plague gratuitously, and was over cautious concerning a smallpox scare.
