Too Much Emciency7
rsem the Syracuse Post-s,andard.


The meaning OF "kultur" is perhans
translated by the word "eff1ciency- a.
accurately as by any word that can be
found In an English dictionary. ana II
any one word were to be chosen to ex-
press the spirit of the German people OF
today. the word efficient" would be the
one. 1t was because Germany was so
tremendously eficient. and because the
rest of the western nations have been
SO nrmiy convinced that efficiency is the
best of all household gods, that Ger
many was conceded so frequently a
year ago to be leading civilization.
There has been more and more doub,
since then as to whether deficiency.
has not been overrated. and the proph
cts OF efficiency as II is understood in
Germany will have to answer for the
faith that Is in them when the recon
struction period begins. Have we a
right in our schools, in our factories or
in our universities TO make human
being merely workman, TO consider
society as ideally constructed when II
IL made up OF shafts. belts, pulleys
bolts. cams. cogs and gears. each capa
ole OF but one function. and knowing
nothing of any other part of the ma
chine?
We are ready" says A recent writer
on this subject. 10 admit that to ge,
along with people is an essential par,
of education. and that to know wha,
IL right is quite as important as "a
know what is true"
