...Inasmuch as the ratio of production to salary in such an extra-New York organization as General Electric Co. was 2.6 to 1 (TIME, April 22), compared to 6.1 to 1 for New York, it might appear that New York pays relatively low-even sweat shop-wages. But no doubt the fairer explanation is the generosity of General Electric to its workers, whose statistics were eloquent evidence of the Owen D. Young theory that a corporation's responsibility is about equally divided between capital, labor, public. The public's share includes, of course, great sums of money spent...
...learned there is no plan for the disposal of this sum which has now been accruing for some years. No doubt it is a comfortable feeling to have a third of a million dollars in one's bank account; something sturdy and respectable to point to, but it does seem a little useless for an organization which has practically nothing in the way of current liabilities.

Among the objects of humor which Mr. Herbert finds to be afflicted with this touchiness are domestic servants, policemen, civil servants. Americans, Mussolini, clergymen and plumbers. To which the Lampoon, no doubt, would add Princetonian and the House Planners. But nobody's touchiness will be outraged by the current Lampoon. It is a monstrous fat book, the fattest in all Lampoon history, and it is a parody of that strangely sportive new child of Boston. The Sportsman...
...teachers feel that there must be some golden way out, and they are willing to try anything that offers, even to searching about and finding something that the pupil will like rather than helping him to like what time has proved most likely to be valuable. Without much doubt there has been too much of this sort of thing: and President Lowell as head of one of the colleges in America which has been most successful in instilling an "appetite for intellectual things" is well qualified to spread a more reasonable gospel among the secondary schools...
