A year of this work will teach the student a good many things he can never learn in any college course. Through intimate contact he will learn, as he never could through casual observation, about the habits, opinions, and ideals of people of a very different economic status and education from his own.

Unless we learn the obvious lessons of the past eighteen months, two or three years hence we may find ourselves in exactly the same predicament as today. It is not reasonable to expect that we can eliminate all the ups and downs in business. Nevertheless the fluctuations in business conditions due to the faulty working of our business methods and the lack of foresight on the part of merchants and manufacturers can be corrected...
