said that government Il noE confront
ed with the problems Of attempting to
control and regulate business in the
United States to restrain the excuses
Of aSarice and selfshpess and curb
the power OF men in com bilatioas OF
great wealth His other premise was
that these conditions require that the
entire citizenship OF the country hare
an exhaustive knowledge OF CONNER
cial and industrial life as wei as the
highest ideals o. business and fairness
He emphasized that the same peculiar
methods by which Highland Park col
