...speeches and articles, Clapp has been doing his best to remedy the situation. But at the same time, so have such like-minded critics as Historian Arthur Bestor (Educational Wastelands], Botanist Harry J. Fuller of the University of Illinois, and free-lance Writer Mortimer Smith (And Madly Teach).
