Baker. Russia today is boiling and
no one can say what will bubble out
from that caldron in which culture

but believe that it is not that so
much as that the men who do go to
college are not making the right use
OF the education they receive there.
They do not seem to realize that it,
is the moral things that count; that
progress means constitution to the
moral elevation of our people.
