BOSTON, Feb. 27.-Dr. Robert
Maynard Hutchins, president of the
University of Chicago. urged recon-
struction of Americas educational
system today, with major emphasis
on the development of intellect
rather than on money-making tech
niques.
"The educational system of any
country will be the system that coun-
try wants" he said in prepared ad-
dress before the College Club. "The
weaknesses of the American educa-
tional cystem are the weaknesses OF
American ideals.
"The love of money and the desire
for freedom to make it and equality
to pursue 1t are the current ideals of
the United States. AS result, it is
not enough to develop the inteii-
eence Of the student so that he can
cope with the problems of practical
Life.
Like all university presidents, he
added, Il have a high opinion Of
money. - I am talking about
that excessive, overwhelming and
primary urge for material goods that
may be said to characterize our
