...principle that individuals or institutions shall always be governed in pursuit of their own ends by a strict observance of public rights. Trade-unionism has continually shown a tendency to repudiate this principle. It is essential that the public, as a third party, shall never be made unreasonably to suffer for a grievance between two other parties. Yet unions, for the past twenty years, in the zealous pursuit of their own ends, have forced the evil consequences of their embroglios, upon the entire public, interfering with business and threatening the general security of the public...
...relation of the general health to the muscles of the eye is therefore a question of interest to oculists, to persons who have such headaches and even to those in perfect health. For, if the ocular muscles of the latter are not also proportionally strong, such persons may suffer from eye strain at any time or else resort to glasses prematurely. These difficulties have received much attention of late years from aphthalmologists and two of them are making a series of simple tests to determine the relation of these ocular muscles to the general health. They have arranged...
...work required. That way will hardly be taken: Dean Briggs, if I remember rightly, recently gave to the New York graduates the assurance that the standard of the A. B. degree would not be lowered. But if scholarship is not to be cheapened, something else is going to suffer. The inestimable educative value--using educative in its noblest sense,--of a Senior year with four courses and plenty of time for those other occupations which bring maturity of mind and breadth of culture, will be exchanged for a year of hard, professional, specialized study in Law, Medical, or Graduate School...

Naturally other enterprises take notice and adopt parts of the new system. But altogether we are slow to change, and we suffer long. One of the reasons for this is, I believe, that we do not accustom ourselves to using the machinery which would make reforms easily attainable...
...terms given by a monopolist are worse for the public than those which would be obtained, under like conditions, in a regime of competitors where the number of competitors is small. The oppressiveness of monopoly seems to disappear when the system is supposed to become universal: those who suffer as consumers recouping themselves as producers. But theory suggests that if each industry were controlled by a monopoly, great instability of value would result; not only on account of the "wars," perhaps interminable, between monopolists of rival commodities, but also because the monopolists of complementary commodities, acting independently of each other...
