“Science Is the mother of ohso-

Some people thought there

now? They have been replaced
by better cars, which in turn'will

KDrOATION and leaders
The young new President of

! the other day that the whole coi-
le.ge system needs reorganization,
both in tlie way of making it
harder for those unfitted for
higher education to get in and
easier for youth of real talent to
obtain the best education avail
able.
We are going to look more and
more to the universities for lead
ership, I imagine, especially If
the “New Deal” proves a success.
