...views are based on our experience in advanced courses; and are applicable to other courses only to the extent that good teaching in one division implies good teaching in the other. We think Mr. Bunde's conclusions bear usually a likeness to truth: many of his comments seem reasonable, though marred by a lack of ability to weigh merits in a difficult and complex field against weakness, by a lack of the tolerance and appreciation which would make for a truer kind of truth than his sometimes thin reasoning confidently attains...

Perhaps, Mr. Hays has such faith in democracy that he is tempting the devil too far. But in the face of reaction that breeds upon Nazi and Red propaganda-frights, "Democracy Works" is refreshingly liberal, and a book that deserves attention...
