...number of men who are sneaks or cheats is not large, but it is large enough to make the administration of the Reading Room troublesome and discouraging, and enough partially to defeat the object for which the few simple rules of the room are framed--namely, to secure equal opportunity for all readers in the use of books...
...great currents of malignant thought--energy over the German lines. The frequent downhearted condition of the German soldiery, erroneously attributed to the incomplete assimilation of too much sauerkraut, is now found to have resulted from these cowardly assaults. "How", the Germans ask, "can our stolid folk be expected to equal in thought-production the more active minds of our enemies?"

Clearly, the results of a psychological test, if applied with discretion, are a closer estimate of intrinsic mental power...
...only practicable solution. At present the greatest single item of expense is the insurance. If some scheme were devised whereby the government could provide insurance at a low rate, as was done for the army during the war, American ships would be enabled to operate on a more nearly equal footing with those of other nations, and would be prepared to take better advantage of any revival of foreign trade which occurs when the world is once more on a sound economic basis...
