While Mr. Coe has an excellent grasp of the field of education today, he is lamentably weak in his treatment of governmental theory. Belief in more democracy as a cure for the evils of democracy, and faith in a rather out-worn liberalism tend to weaken greatly the value of his constructive suggestions.
