Lack of faith on the part of a large section of the working class in the the motives of the capitalists, and especially in the so called public, is the underlying reason for the multitude of precipitous strikes. "We cannot delay, we cannot arbitrate; the public, because of its self-interests, will never see our point of view," was the plea of one of the leaders of the printers' strike in New York. In other words, a part of labor believes the public more interested in its own convenience and pocket-books than in seeing justice done. Such a pessimistic...
Entrance examinations are largely to blame for the small capacity for self-education shown by college men. The entrance requirements are not too hard, but they are too numerous.
