Presumably, however, the plan at Columbia has been drawn up to provide such necessary machinery. But there still remains a valid objection to the scheme as a whole. Of course, practical business men wil decry it as making education a soft sinecure--or a softer sinecure than they say education is at present. The objection does not follow naturally, but it may follow in this case and so throw discredit on the whole trend of the collegiate educational system. The proposal to abolish examinations has come not through evolution and the gradual growth of the desire the learn...

The main benefit of the process will, of course...
...groups of able correspondents abroad, who are thoroughly equipped to do the job, as best it can be done. . . . These writers are, primarily, collectors of facts. The interpretations placed upon their expositions are made by men schooled in that branch of journalism-editorial writers." The Detroit Free Press was drawn into a similar dispute by an assertion of The Manchester Guardian that: "For four years the American press, though supremely well posted upon such matters as the oats of Papyrus, has told Americans extraordinarily little about the realties of post-war Europe...
