...years the fallacy has persisted that those who enter the profession of teaching must renounce all hopes of a respectable income and serve for the joy of serving. In the Forum for October Mr. Frank Bohn iconoclastically scouts the logic of this attitude. If professors, by leaving the academic fold, he argues, can compete successfully in business and command salaries many times greater than those they received for teaching, there must indeed be something radically wrong in college administration. The blame for this situation the writer lays on the heads of the university presidents and boards of trustees...
...cannot help feeling also that much injustice is done Dr. Sheffer in the criticism of Philosophy 1. If there is anything he tries to avoid in this course it is the "parrcting a number of logical rules-of-thumb" for which you so harshly condemn him. If any one doubts this let him compare the texts used in Philosophy 1 with the treatises on "formal logic" used in most college courses in logic.

Labor faces the problem differently, but with equal logic. The volume of wages is higher than in 1913, but their value, owing to high prices, etc., is somewhat under the pre-War standard of 1913. Under such circumstances labor can see no justice in the proposals of the capitalists to reduce wages, but is apparently blind to two things...
