...Belmont's point: private charity, keeping 13,000,000 idle alive, is haphazard, wasteful. Said she: "The major portion of the relief program should be assigned to the city, State or Federal Government, and the amount agreed upon ... as necessary to carry out an adequate program, should be obtained by special taxation. ... I do not believe it is a wise policy to carry on the work of serious emergency relief with voluntary contributions. The system is as wrong as that of voluntary enlistment in times of war. It simply means that you penalize the generous...
...conceivable that such a course, covering modern theory in literature and drama, would attract chiefly those men who are well-read beyond the standards of Bible and Shakespeare courses, rather than those whose reading of twentieth century literature is more or less haphazard. This might be avoided by conducting the course less in the research spirit than is the present English 26. It would need a leader of no ordinary talents, a teacher who stands above the tight world of literary schools and who could cope with a chaos of names. He would have to survey a fairly ordered system...

Spring wheat was being sowed in Kansas now that the thaw had come & gone. Sows had littered in Iowa. John Farmer was starting his 1933 crops on the same haphazard plan of the past because...
Under the present arrangement French 2 undertakes to teach literal translation of plays, rapid reading of classics, French composition, and a history of French literature of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

Nor does French 2 prepare a student to do any of the specific reading which may be required of him later in history, government...
...educational point of view, the Foundation's criticism of the two chief methods of determining college admissions (certification and examination) can hardly be refuted. Certification, used in 90 per cent of American colleges, permits too much leeway to be any accurate standard. Little account is taken of the frequently haphazard or outdated school courses, and there have also been more than a few cases of kind schoolmasters padding a student's grade. The Old Plan examination method of the oldest and best-known American universities depends too much on the chance that the pupil will have the ideal combination...
