Such negligence in the discharge of financial obligations is directly contrary to the first principle of sound government, whatever may be its magnitude. The fault has undoubtedly lain in divided responsibility and accumulating confusion of records rather than in any individual delinquency.

The final responsibility attaches to the American conception of education as a mechanical process that lays stress on the method to the disparagement of the end, and then turns on itself, finding dissatisfaction in the perversion of its purpose...
