TIME'S characteristically veracious report of Mr. Putnam's efforts to obtain sanction from the War Department for the use of pictures from its files illustrating the horrors of war is excellent in its frankness. That General Carrs refusal to acquiesce to the scheme should be based on the preservation of Gold Star Mothers' memories seems, however, a trifle lame as an alibi.

The congeries of technical and vocational courses in nearly all American colleges testifies to a sort of pragmatic sanction which educators themselves have given to the utilitarian spirit...
