element will o be left behind in the
progress made by others unless 1t
changes tactics; and II left behind there
will be let out Of the public schools en-
tirely.
There il Q demand for . progressive
reform in the public schools; that de.
mand Is increasing and its fulhllment
cannot DO successfully opposed by any
clique in or out OF the Institute. Those
who oppose IL will be brushed aside.
that IL all.
