at Perpetual Hall. Prof. David
Eccles supported the proposition.
while Prof. n. Z. Fagin, of the
Research University. argued the
negative.
Only according to platitudes are

tempt to artificiaIly make men
equal is to fly in the face of ma
ture. The survival of the fittest
is the order OF nature, and social
ism will come in the evolutionary
process. but not now"
Fagin declared that the survival
Of the "slickest" was the result of
the present competitive system, and
that true progress could only come
when the worker had sufficient leis-
ure from labor to improve himself
mentally and physically.
