Whatever may be said n criticism Of his regime at
Amherst, he made the place over into educational
institution in the real Of that term.
Certainly this was not negligible achievement
for a college president, even though somewhat IN
usual But the conservative and INDECENT members
Of the faculty resented Meikelohns innovations and
hated some of his appointees SO he was beheaded in
the spring Of 1928 Amherst now is safe and sane
under the aegis of academic Coolidge
Shortly after this Glenn Frank was made presi-
dent OF wisconsin and decided to bring Mekeljohn
there for an educational innovation He was given
charge Of experimental college This was COM
posed OF selected group of young taught init
mately by carefully chosen corps of instructors
The curriculum unique Instead of the usual
pursuit of required subjects of an essentially high
school character in the freshman year. the students
were taught the principles of classical civilization In
the sophomore year they were put through the foun
dation Of our scientific and chronological civilization
Of today.
At the end of two years they were turned back into
the regular curriculum and pedagogical grind, with
it was hoped, unusual insight into our present
civilization and how we had attained it, The study
OF pagan civilization intended to indicate the de-
fects Of our industrial, proft-making culture
There Is no doubt that the boys in the expert
mental college learned great deal and enjoyed their
work From the standpoint OF intellectual uIumina-
ton the experiment proved a success
But this apparently is not the essence of university
endeavor.
AS at Amherst, the stimulation of an inouirnp
type OF mind and the medication of a zeal for
learning were secondary to other considerations At
Amherst enlightenment sacrificed to tradition and
clique. AT Wisconsin economic considerations and
departmental politics are said to have dominated
The experimental college was far more extensive

johns experiment deprived members of some denart
ments OF money which might have gone to insure
promotions and salary increases
He prevented other departments from securing in
creases Of staff No amount of success in provoking
heightened intellectual activity could compensate for
such sins. Hence his head was demanded once
more.
The chief lesson is that not all our educational
stagnaton and inertia is due to the malicious infu-
ence OF trustees and alumni The vested education1
interests pedagogical supersttions departmental ies
ousles and college politics of the faculties often are
greater menace to sound and enIivening education
AT Amherst the trustees did not step in to decan-

Types of Parasites

NHE association between the par
Il asiteS and the organism which
serves as the host may be of brief
duration Or of long duration. Para
sites may be either plants or ami
mails. The same is true of the host
Or. Faust is interested particularly
IN animal parasites. Recently he
made summary Of the animal uar-
estes which prey on mammals. OF
these he writes:
animals found In parasite asso-
citation with mammals NAV be
grouped in two main divisions. ec-
toparasiteS and endoparasites.
The former are essentially ALI
the insects and their allies which
live on the skin or in its superb
clal layers. The latter consist OF
one-celled animals or protocol. and
various types OF parasitic worms as
well rs certain insects and their al
lies.
THE endoparasites live In all
deeper tissues of the body, but each
parasite usually has a preference
for certain tissues. AS there are tens
OF thousands Of species of parasites
OF mammals it will be possible to
use only certain forms for purposes
Of illustration"
The ectoparasites, according to
DR.. Faust, include ticks, mites, f1eas,
flies, mosquitoes, and bugs. All these.
with exception of certain flies ano
the feather lice Of birds, are blood
suckers, he says.

Practical Men

In those lost days of Hoover prosperity, when
money grew on brokers' books and washerwomen
we're said to wear silks, but didn't the country had
no patience with progressives. Calamity howlers
long-haired fanatics parlor Bolsheviks, were the
abusive names flung at them
Now that times are hard, they get hearing. And
the country listens to them in their progressive
ference in Washington they do not crazy after
all. Indeed it is the present chaotic political and
nomc situation attacked by them which seems crazy.
Certainly it is hard for any sane man to defend as
Just intelligent system which produces wholesale
unemployment and misery in the richest land in the
world Basically the problem is ethca-the injustice
denying the right of food to free men, the
cruelty of such economic slavery
But forget ethical considerations. Put it solely on
the practical ground Of efficiency. BY that test our
system has failed. The cycle turns to longer and
deeper depresSions, engulfng wider masses Of the
population.
BY the misery of factory workers and farmers, the
merchant and the manufacturer pulled down. De-
sroy the wages of the producer and he to be
a consumer. Without wide and sustained consum-
ers' market our whole production machine will
wreck itself.
Continue the concentration Of wealth in fewer
pockets and prosperity can not return the peoples
purchasing power will be gone The rich will go with
out profits, and the poor will go without food
In this emergency, business and political leaders
generally have no plan They drift They hope to
muddle through They wait blindly for the cycle to
come around again to temporary prosperity-fol-
lowed by longer and worse depression.
The Progressves reject that fatalism They have
no easy cure-aI, but they believe that the same
human intelligence which is conquering the problems
OF disease and Of science be used to solve our
economic and political problems They believe that
planned economy can control business cycles and
prevent unemployment.
Therefore to their national nonpartSan confer
ence the Progressves call political scientists and
economists For the politicians customary claptrap
they try to substitute the expert and his facts.
They do not succeed perfectly. But they go a
long way
Reading the addresses and technical reports made
at the first session of the Progressive conference
wednesday, We are impressed by the expert knowl-
edge and the practical wisdom of the leaders of this
nonpartisan movement. When CoStigan or Lewis
discusses the tariff, Borah discusses the return
TO representative government, they speak with expert
authority unsurpassed anywhere in the country.
For that reason we have faith in the Progressive
movement. We believe Americas economic saliva
ton depends upon developing enough national In
telligence and courage to apply the principles Of
social engineering to problems.
That is the only practical way out. And, so far
as we can see, the Progressives the only group
in congress even seeking that practical solution

Joseph P. Cotton

MoST men grow conservative with age and respon
SlOllity' Joseph P. Cotton did not. When he was
named undersecretary of state by Hoover, he was
suspect as New York corporation lawyer. But the
longer ne was in the public SERVICE the more liberal
he became.
Into that strangely oppressive atmosphere of pre-
eeoent and red tape at the state department he
Drought something more unusual than intellect which
Is ratner common there. He brought sense of hu-
NOR ana human touch which are no less important
than knowledge in the art of diplomacy
That sense of humor helped him to see through the
red scares which frightened such worthless as Hughes
That humanness drove him to work for withdrawal of
marines from Haiti and Nicaragua, military occupa
ton not offensive to the Stimsons
The doctors said his fatal illness was fastened bv
oVerwork. That did not brighten him. He knew he
was working too hard But he went ahead thinking
only Of his public duty.

Just Like Jim

Once more the forward looking people of
Indiana must regret that this state furnished
the agent who tried to throw a monkey
wrench into the meeting of so-called pro-
gressives at Washington. These men and
women are seeking real relief from the un-
employment situation and the human misery
That comes from badly adjusted economic
machine.
1t was Senator Watson, of course, who by
preference or selection, attempted to turn the
attention OF these men and women from eco
nomic problems to the more highly contro-
versial subject of prohibition.
That trick has worked so often in the
past in Indiana that Watson is justified in
the idea that the liquor problem might di-
vide any group.
The privileged hooters know that if peo-
pie quarrel about prohibition they are not
likely to agree on methods of protecting the
farmer and the laborer.
That is the reason professional wet and
professional dry organizations can be easily
financed. It is the background for the elec-
ton of unfit men to the senate and the house
"a AOPASoChOoOlNCos IL pSIuulLS GuOSS VINO De-
tray the people to escape retribution.
No one in this state, for example, would
believe it possible for the colleague of Wat
son, coming from the very beginnings of
Stephensonism, to be reelected after the ex-
posures of that era, were it not for the fact
that Robinson is able to persuade the fanat-
ical dry voters that he is their particular
guardian. He is the typical product of wet
and dry discussion.
When The Times wired Senator Watson
for clear and direct answer to his own
questions on prohibition, his reply was not
even evasive. He merely said the people
know where he stands That is "just like
Jim" 1t is the way he gets by.
Does any reader of The Times know
where Senator Watson stands on this ques-
ton today?
If there is any such information extant,
the other readers are entitled to the facts
The Times tried to get it from Watson It
failed
Don't crowd, but write, if you know.

none to protect the depoSitor.

If a person steals loaf Of bread

a large institution goes under and
takes with it the much-needed
savings of hundreds of people, there
is little said and nothing done. The

magistrate. Quite possibly he could
bring about a resignation by put
ting on pressure. But if the pres
sure were resisted, there is nothing
he could do about it.
On the other hand, he is distinct

the police commissioner. We could
have a new deal in the police de-
partment by the simple process of
Walkers calling up Mulrooney and
saying, you're through"
And there is ample reason for
Mayor Walker to make this tele-
phone call.
Not every man now under fire is
dishonest. Some are simply incom-
petent, and this failing may be just
as grave. Many men who have been
shown up as unworthy to serve in
their capacity as guardians of the
law are still functioning.
The best place to make begin

An active and energetic man in
that post could do much to mend
our difficulties. But he would be

No C0ncessiAn

OUTSIDE the necessity of reach
" ing some kind of agreement
regarding those old debts, there was
no reason why we should have re-
fused to recognize Soviet Russia. An
agreement regarding old debts has
played its part in our relations with
majority of European nations,
and, in practically every case, we
have been obliged to write off a lot
to reach such agreement.
There is little reason to suppose
that we couldn't have pursued a
similar course with Russia, or that
it would have taken us more time
to reach satisfactory conclusions.
The chances are more than even
that if we had made Russia as good
a proposition as we made Mussolini,
she would have accepted it.
But we could think of forty rea-
Scps why we should have nothing
to do with Soviet Russia, and, not
only that, but why we shouldn't SO
much as consider the possibility OF
having anything to do with her.
When you get right down to brass
tackS, sharp end up, all those rea-
sons went back to the idea that we
could carry the thing through with
out cost.
