Class-room deception is amusing to some men today, because they do not feel as keenly as they should, the weight of moral responsibility. They do not consider a man who "cribs" under the present system essentially dishonest, for honor in this connection receives very little emphasis, the reason being that evident, glaring instances of its abuse are extremely rare.

In all countries, except the United States, political parties are passing bills to keep down the socialist vote...
President Lincoln of the Economic Club in his introductory address stated the conditions which have rendered municipal reform so pressing a need. The government of cities has deteriorated and problems now present themselves which had no importance a generation ago. Every community which has suffered from the dishonest administration of its affairs has a keen interest in municipal reform...
