...editorials are numerous but lack thought. In their determination to be chatty and readable the editors have failed to penetrate to the core of their subjects.

It is surprising to many business men how few recent college graduates can write even clear and cogent business letters. The work of Mr. Hersey in the Business School has shown that even men who have added to their undergraduate...
