...policeman without arms? He cannot keep or help keep the peace by mere realization that he is morally better than the offender. He must be prepared to enforce the law. And there lies the answer to Mr. Davis' query, "What is it for?" Far from making the President seem insincere, the increase of our army to moderate size (which is all that the universal training advocates urge) would add incalculable weight to his proposal.

...achievement in academic courses, honors in professional and technical courses, salary earned after graduation, or inclusion among lists and directories of eminent men, success in later life is suggested by the early work of the school curriculum. In spite of frequent comments to the contrary, the school curriculum would seem to constitute a most useful test in prognosticating at least the most probable quality of the individual's later work...
