...rule out the unfit is to dismiss them, and N. A. L. U. President Theodore M. Riehle announced that 66% of the membership had pledged themselves to do so. In the past year there were 3,000 such dismissals. A more constructive plan was offered by Vice President Henry E. North of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. who announced the establishment of a $30,000 co-operative fund for underwriter education through the American College of Life Underwriters.
