Research in the physical sciences is readily visualized in terms of guinea pigs, steam shovels, microscopes. Legal research means cloistered cerebration. To understand the parallel between legal research at Harvard and research in pure science as projected, for instance, by Secretary Hoover and his colleagues in the 20-million-dollar Research Endowment Fund lately undertaken (TIME, March 15), one must know about the Harvard staff that will conduct it-Dean Roscoe Pound and associates...

There is far too little known in this day of changing conceptions and fluctuating principles about the exact mental, physical, and moral discipline which the modern child requires.

...certain that the United States where prohibition is in force suffers far less as a result of drink than any of the European countries where liquor is freely sold. The idea that this is the only country where alcoholism is a great problem is a pure fallacy. In fact this is the only country where it is not. We hear a great deal about bootleggers and drunken students in America, but do we hear of families being broken up any more as a result of drink...
