...suitable to discussion in class. Curiously enough, they are all subjects on which many people have definite convictions which amount almost to a mania. In each section there are liable to be some such people. These turn the class from intelligent discussion to the expression of personal and often unsound views. All the time spent in this is practically wasted as far as learning economics is concerned...

Regardless of his personal views on prohibition, Judge Clark is to be Highly commended for the skill and sincerity with which he attacks a law that he believes to be constitutionally unsound. Enforcing laws which are evidently ill adapted to cope with an admittedly idealistic purpose, must seem to him, particularly in his official capacity, like trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

Coordinated lights are controlled in relation to other lights and may be simultaneous or progressive. Simultaneous lights are used in New York, but are technically unsound because they result in a high moving speed and a slow overall rate. The progressive lights as they are used on Washington Street in Boston are theoretically ideal and permit a quick and continuous flow of traffic...
