two sons, Alexander, Jr., and James, and
a daughter, Margaret. He leaves also his
mother, four brothers, two of whom live
in Milwaukee, and a sister.
Professor Gray had made many friends
at Cornell. Dean Kimball is quoted as
saying of him:
"From the very beginning of his professorship here Professor Gray had made a
warm place for himself with both students
and Faculty. He was an exceptionally
strong teacher, and his relations with his
colleagues and with his students was exceptionally fine. It will be difficult to fill
his place."
STUDENTS IN NEW YORK
The entering class at the Medical
College in New York this year includes
six students who were juniors at Ithaca
last year and will receive their A.B.
degrees next June; five from C.C.N.Y.;
four from Columbia; two each from
N.Y.U., Barnard, Amherst, Brown,
Rochester, and Wellesley; and one from
Colgate, Pennsylvania College for Women, Wooster, Iowa State, Vanderbilt,
Brooklyn Polytechnic, University of Washington, Manhattan College, Stetson, Massachusetts Agricultural College, St. Lawrence, University of Maine, Union, Vassar, Fordham, Johns Hopkins, Wesley an,
and Williams. In the second-year class
are twenty-one students who took their
first year in Ithaca.
Professor Gray was born in Edinburgh
on March 9, 1882, the son of James and
Christina Seton Gray. At the age of
fifteen he went to work as a machinist.
From 1900 to 1904 he worked as a draftsman and erection engineer, attending
night classes at the Heriot Watt College,
from which he received in 1904 a diploma
in engineering; in the same year the University of Edinburgh gave him the degree
of B.Sc. in Engineering, and two years
later, having gone to Canada, he received
the degree of B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from McGill. From 1905 to 1910 he
worked as an electrical designer with the
Bullock Electric Company and the AllisChalmers Company. Then for five years
he was assistant professor of electrical
engineering at McGill, leaving that institution to come to Cornell in 1915 as professor of electrical engineering.
He was a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, the Society for the Promotion of
Engineering Education, Sigma Xi, Tau
Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, the Town and
Gown Club, and the First Presbyterian
Church of Ithaca.
He was the author of Section 8 of the
Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers, of "Electrical Machine Design'7
(1913), and of "Principles and Practice
of Electrical Engineering" (1914).
Mr. Gray married, on October 11, 1906,
Miss Margaret Annandale Low, of Edinburgh, who survives him, together with

Problems in Teaching
Miss Thomas Calls Men Dogs in the
Manger and Demands Freedom
of Teaching
President M. Carey Thomas '78 was the
principal speaker at the Founder's Day
celebration at Mt. Holyoke College on
October 7, and chose as her subject
"Present-Day Problems in Teaching."
She began with a survey of developments
in the status of women since 1912; she
found a marked advance, but said that
men were still too jealously guarding for
themselves the prizes and privileges and
chief positions in all occupations. The
French Academy refused to elect Mme.
Curie to membership only because she
was a woman. The American Academy
of Arts and Letters ought either to reform
or call itself The American Men's Academy.
"What are we women to think of our
own American Academy, founded only
a few years ago, in this era of women's
emancipation, in this twentieth century
coeducational United States in imitation
of the French Academy, by men we know
and thought we could trust, perpetuating
this hoary age-long injustice to women,
and, although urgently entreated to do
so by the American Association of University Women, refusing to elect to its membership even a few eminent women? Men
artists of negligible fame are American
Academicians, but not Cecilia Beaux;
minor men novelists, but not Edith Wharton; men philanthropists and humanitarian writers of comparative insignificance,
but not Jane Addams; men educationalists who have accomplished much less
than she for the advancement of teaching
and not the distinguished president of
Mount Holyoke College."
Miss Thomas insisted that new methods
in teaching must be found, since the pupils are no longer what they used to be.
"Our old methods of teaching fail to get
under their skins. Most of our apparatus
of teaching—lectures, recitations, text
books—really belongs in the scrap heap.
Nor only our text books but we teachers
and executives are no longer vital in the
eyes of our students. The profound interests to which they vibrate, their currents of passionate thought, sweep by in
secret channels unknown to us.
"Well's Outline of History' furnishes
an illustration of what I mean. It is
history of a wholly new kind and makes
a world-wide appeal to the younger generation. Its inaccuracies, if there are any
that are avoidable in so vast an undertaking, do not matter at all in comparison
to its gripping qualities. Yet how few
historians are making use of it. One
courageous professor told me that he was
using it, and to his astonishment his
habitually indifferent men students lapped it up like new milk. All our text-

books must be rewritten from this new
point of view.
"But this new and almost universal appreciation of the power of education has
brought upon us what I regard as the
most terrible menace to American schools
and colleges and to liberal thought that
has come in my lifetime. The Federal
and State Governments, Boards of Educacation, Americanization societies, American Legions and organizations of every
kind are demanding that children and college students should be taught patriotism,
concrete citizenship, a n d i o o percent
Americanism. This means that school
teachers and college professors, as yet
only in public schools and State universities, but unless the movement is determinedly opposed sooner or later everywhere, are being required to teach not
how to make things as they should be, but
that things as they are, are right; that the
United States Constitution, as written
134 years ago, is perfect; that our highly
unsatisfactory Government must not be
criticized; that the United States flag,
which, as we all know, flies over many
cruel injustices which we hope to set
right, must be reverenced as a sacred
symbol of unchanging social order, of
political death in life.
"The Lusk Law in New York State is a
hideous example of what may happen
any day in any State. It is impossible to
teach in our schools definite political or
religious doctrine without arousing conflicting parties, one faction of which will
surely rise up and rend the other. All the
conservative forces now in control of the
world are seizing upon this propagandist
teaching in order to capture the younger
generation and so save their ancient
privileges. What this perversion of education did for Germany it may easily do
for the United States. We need now
progressive leadership of the most liberal
kind to save the world from revolution.
It can come only from the younger generation now in school and college. In our
generation there is no such light or leading. One hundred percent Americanism
such as this will strangle free thought in
its cradle. Cut and dried opinions on
practical matters are almost sure to be
wrong. Agreement on contemporary
questions is impossible.
"In my lifetime I have seen four separate times passionate differences of opinion raging around four commanding personalities—Gladstone, Cleveland, Roosevelt, and Wilson. I was in England when
Gladstone, who was then Prime Minister
at the end of a long and triumphant career
of statesmanship, proposed Irish home
rule, in which every one now believes. The
storm of popular abuse which overwhelmed him on all sides astounded me.
It was the same with Cleveland, who was
a really great President. The feeling
against Roosevelt, to whom the United
States owes an eternal debt of gratitude
which is now happily recognized, was so
bitter that his name was never mentioned
without horrible abuse at the dinner
tables at which I sat, and any defense of
him destroyed the amenity of the dinner.
"And Wilson, who had the leadership
and vision to put into eloquent and moving words the yearning of all nations toward a world state of international peace
and justice, which he strove against frightful odds to embody in a League of Na-
tions, was attacked with incredible
brutality not only by conservative but by
liberal opinion because he had to compromise with diplomats and prime ministers who could not be expected all at
once to become archangels. In going
round the world in 1920 I saw streets once
named Wilson being revengefully renamed. "Death to Wilson" was written
on the walls in Italy. On my return to
the United States I found none so poor
to do him reverence. Yet I prophesy
that, like Washington, Lincoln, Cleveland,
and Roosevelt, Wilson will rise above the
welter of conflicting opinion and take the
place that belongs to him on the pedestal
of human greatness.
"If our young people are to be instructed
what to think on such controversial subjects of contemporary politics, teachers
and professors must teach the majority
opinion held by boards of trustees and
boards of education and the communities
in which they teach. There is no other
way out. Otherwise their official heads
will inevitably roll into the basket. Our
professors will then become timorous
souls with no light and leading. Now is
the time above all others to affirm as
never before the freedom of teaching and
freedom of opinion, to refuse utterly to
teach cut and dried opinions, to claim as
our highest right, liberty to train our
students to think for themselves and to
work out for themselves after they leave
school and college their own practical applications. Unless the youth of the world
now in school and college can develop
leadership there will be none in the next
generation. Without vision our civilization will surely perish."

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S COLLEGES
Dr. Henry N. McCracken, president of
Vassar, thinks the men's colleges have
much to learn from the women. In an
interview printed in The Boston Globe for
September 25, he says:
"The outstanding feature in a comparison of the development between the two
classes of institutions is the difference in
the atmosphere which one encounters in
each. It is the difference between exhilaration and depression. I have never met
a boy in the last year of his school career
who wasn't crazy to leave college. I've
seldom met a girl who didn't burst into
tears at the mention of the subject."
Vassar, says Dr. McCracken, was the
first college to limit the number of students; Oberlin came next; and now,
seventeen years later comes Princeton.
Then the women's colleges have taken
the lead in cooperation in the solution
of educational problems. Their representatives now meet regularly for this purpose.
Again, the women's colleges are taking
the lead in abolishing the fraternity
system. "In the old days the English
colleges provided the student with a home.
The continental colleges never did. But
the practical American boy provided that
home for himself, until now it has practically usurped the functions of the college itself.
"The fraternity system has justified itself historically in filling the responsibility
which the universities failed to meet. The
fraternities provided a home for a group
of congenial students, and the system did
the best it could to provide an environment where the better side of college life
might develop. This duty the university
shirked.
"It is not the fajult of the fraternity
that as years have gone on and the system
has developed it has brought into university life the evil of money standards and
social cleavage, for this was inevitable in
the fraternity system.
"But the universities, to be truly democratic toda*y, must purge themselves of
these great dangers. I do not pretend to
see how this can be done. The solution
will probably come only through the universities taking title to fraternity property
and utilizing fraternity houses as dormitories.
"See how it has worked out at Vassar.
We have no clubs except those on the
campus. The student body is organized
in five groups—political, social, athletic,
religious and dramatic, each with its own
set of officers.
"No student at Vassar has her own
automobile or horse.
"And I might say here that the automobile is the curse of the student life at
places like Yale, Harvard and Princeton. It extends the campus one hundred
fifty miles and makes the dean responsible for what might go on at a roadhouse
sixty miles away."
Likewise, the women's colleges have
taken the lead in the total abolition of
hazing; in the instituting of self-government, a matter in which the men have
failed, as is indicated by the appointment
at Yale of a dean of men; in the establishment of cordial relations between students and faculty; in the elimination of .
the professional coach and of professionalism all along the line; and in the degree
to which they have utilized the fine arts.
"Vassar has solved the social problem
in American college life. The men's colleges have not. They have not controlled
the student body. They have not solved
the central problem of what they are for.
It is a bigger problem than ours, because
they are dealing with a factor less responsive to environment and influence. We
have shown the way, but that problem
still is theirs."
The Harvard Alumni Bulletin is the
first to respond to this challenge. " I t is
interesting," says the Bulletin writer, "to
see what this educator emphasizes as the
important factors in the strength of an educational institution. Not the quality of the
teaching staff, of course, for he does not
mention this element in the make-up of
a college, although there are some people
who would think it worth taking into
account. Nor yet does Dr. McCracken
seem to feel that such things as resources,
endowment, standards of scholarship,
facilities in the way of buildings, and so
on, are worthy of even a word in his discussion of collegiate achievements. Nevertheless, and despite his entire disregard of
them, those are some of the things which
the men's colleges persist in looking upon
as vital factors in doing the work which
educational institutions are supposed to
do.
"What is the chief purpose of a college?
Is the fulfilment of this purpose to be
judged by means of illustrations drawn
from the odds and ends of undergraduate
life, or by the excellence of the teachers
who teach and the proficiency of the students who learn? It may be quite true, as
Dr. McCracken asserts, that women's
colleges have no grand stands or professional athletic coaches. What of it?
Men's colleges have no sewing circles, no
organized chaperonage, and no daisy
chains on class day. Of course the paraphernalia of undergraduate life and activities differ as between men's and women's
colleges, but what has all this to do with
the relative standing of the respective
institutions as regards true educational
leadership?
"President McCracken tells us that he
has never known a male undergraduate
who, in his senior year, was not 'crazy
to leave college/ If the average masculine senior sheds no tears at graduation
it is chiefly because he is more concerned
with what is ahead than with what is behind. It is not because he is lacking in
loyalty to the institution or unappreeiative of what it has done for him.
"A college is, or ought to be, a place
where teachers teach and students study.
The effectiveness with which these two
groups do their work is the ultimate test
of success and achievement. Everything
else is incidental and accessory; everything else is to be judged only in relation
to the main purpose. To say that in the
fulfilment of this main purpose the men's
colleges, taking them as a class, have
been unprogressive or lacking in leadership would be untrue. No such proposition could be supported by the facts of
American education during the past fifty
years."
CORNELL AT McGILL
At the celebration of the centenary of
McGill University, from October 12 to
15, Cornell was represented by Professor
Edward L. Nichols '75, Professor of
Physics, Emeritus, and Dr. Veranus A.
Moore '87, Dean of the New York State
Veterinary College.
OPERA IN CHICAGO
Spearman Lewis, director of publicity
for Mary Garden and the Chicago Opera
Association, spoke on "Opera from the
Inside" before the regular weekly luncheon
of the Chicago alumni on October 13.
Fifty men were present. The Chicago
alumni are in their new quarters in the
Hamilton Club where a newly furnished
room accommodating one hundred is to
be reserved every Thursday.
When Cornell plays Dartmouth in
Ithaca on October 29, Chicago alumni of
the two contestants will meet for a joint
luncheon at the club, with a direct wire
to report the progress of the game.
NEW ENGLAND "RUB"
In spite of threatening weather for such
an out-door occasion, the second annual
"Rub" of the Cornell Club of New England was attended by some forty odd
members of the Club, as well as by visitors from Ithaca and from Cleveland. The
party was held at South Natick. The
principal guest was Richard H. Edwards,
who told the gathering of the work and
plans ,of the Christian Association, of
which Jie is the general secretary.
The out-door sports consisted of an
organized ball game between the "odd"
classes and the "evens," and an impromptu
football game of the "safe and sane" variety.
The baseball game was interrupted by
a rain squall which the teams braved until the crashing fall of a great elm behind

BUFFALO'S PLANS
The Buffalo alumni, or to be technically
more exact, the Cornell Alumni Association of Western New York, have returned
from summer solitude, and are again holding their weekly luncheons at the Hotel
Iroquois, in Parlors G and H, on Fridays
at 12.30. The official season for the year
1921-2 was inaugurated on October 7,
Senator Parton Swift '98, the president
of the club, presiding.
Plans for the ensuing year include joint
luncheons with various college luncheon
clubs, Dartmouth, Williams, Harvard,
and Yale among them; a union meeting
of all colleges and universities at luncheon; and various special dates which it
is hoped will bring out the more modest
Carnelian flowers, both of modern and
semi-ancient vintage.
Jim Rutherford Ί o , member of the
board of directors and athletic director,
has left for green fields and pastures new
in Cleveland, Ohio, and Fred Potter '16
has been elected in his place.
ABOUT a hundred secondary schools
have been invited to enter the annual
interscholastic cross-country run to be
held in Ithaca on November 12. The
course this year is to be a steeplechase
nearly three miles long, with obstacles
and a water jump. The bronze Marathon
trophy given by the Class of '08 is the individual prize, and a silver shield will be
awarded to the team having the lowest
score made by the first five contestants.
Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be
given for first, second, and third places.
SPORT STUFF
Fraternity rushing ends this week to the
accompaniment of loud groans of relief
from everybody. This protracted, minutely regulated rushing system with its
codes, umpires, clerks and timers may be
necessary under the more complicated
undergraduate life of the present day, but
it is difficult for an old timer to grasp its
beauties. It seems to keep all the undergraduates and particularly the freshmen
unsettled and diverted during the first
month of college when they ought to be
getting settled down to work.
The best you can say of fraternity
rushing is that it is an unavoidable evil
and to a casual spectator it looks as if
that system was best that got it over
quickest. The old systemless system certainly had the advantage of brevity.
The game with Colgate marks the end
of the first phase of the football season.
Up to this point we've been following an
orderly program of instruction and team
development with games a secondary consideration. From now on the work becomes more and more -preparation for
particular games. Winning games depends
somewhat on the ability of the other fellow. That is why prophecy is such an
idle thing. But it is obvious that we go
into the vital part of the campaign with a
team somewhat stronger, faster and more
able than that which represented the university last year.

THE MEDICS' CLUB
Through the organization of the Students' Club, the first steps have been taken
toward making the Medical College in
New York "a more livable place," as our
correspondent puts it. The house at 127
Lexington Avenue which was the home
of the old Students' Club has been sold,
and with the help of the Intercollegiate
Y.M.C.A. a building at the southwest
corner of Twenty-Seventh Street and
First Avenue, just across from the Medical College, has been purchased. An old
storehouse, the new home of the Club has
had a thorough renovating and overhauling, and now contains a cafeteria and a
lounging-room, with a piano. It is planned to build a small gymnasium in one
part of the building and to rent the unused
portion of it for the present, but it is
hoped that eventually the whole building
may be used for dormitories.
The use of the building is to be restricted to members of the Club, in which
membership is open to students and
Faculty of the Cornell and Bellevue Medical Colleges and to the resident staff of
Bellevue Hospital. The membership fee
is two dollars a year, and the club is for
the use of both men and women.
Our correspondent says: " I t is hoped
that the idea will be brought before some
one philanthropically inclined, with a
resulting gift to be used for the erection
of a new building."
A NEW COURT has been laid out on the
floor of the Drill Hall in addition to the
two formerly used for basketball practice.

He had the throne but not the crown. As
acting president he would have been unwise to start anything he could not finish.
Educational policies must await the new
President. Yet there is at least one
department of first rank that President
Smith has kept together for future service to Cornell. Whatever else he might
have done had he been president, his
fri/ends will rest their case on what he
has already done for the reconstruction
of student morale.
And so, as we welcome President Farrand to the leadership, we bid Godspeed
to President Smith. Whether he elects
to be consulting engineer, poet, tourist, or
what-not, the best wishes of the Cornell
world will ever follow him.
OBITUARY
Alexander B. Orth '90
Alexander Beatty Orth, who was a
special student in the University from
1886 to 1888, died on November 30, 1920.
He had been in business in Pittsburgh,
Pa., for a number of years.
Edward C. Fish '00
Edward Charles Fish died in Rochester,
N. Y., on October 16, 1919. He had been
in ill health for several years.
He was born on September 17, 1876,
and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. S.
Fish of Salamanca, N. Y. He prepared at
the Union School in Salamanca, and was
graduated from the Cornell Law School
in 1900. He was a member of Psi Upsilon.
For some years prior to his death he was
engaged in the manufacturing business
with his father in Rochester. He was married on April 20, 1918, to Miss Flora
Wilkinson of Salamanca, who survives
him.
"For him," says a writer in The Michigan Alumnus, "economics was more than
a study of data and statistics; he saw it
as the very bone and sinews of our national life, and it was this broad philosophical view that he imparted with extraordinary success to the thousands of students who have been his admirers. In
his presentation of his subject he was
tolerant, kindly, and withal intensely
human in his relations with his students,
a quality which added not a little to his
success as a teacher."
From 1887 to 1911 he was a statistician
for the Interstate Commerce Commission.
When he entered the service he was the
only one; when he left, there were 250.
"He was one of the first to call attention
to the importance of intangible values
in appraising public utilities and was
largely responsible for the system of accounting now in operation on American
railroads." From 1906 to 1911 he was
in charge of the division of statistics and
accounts of the Interstate Commerce
Commission; he was the director of the
division of transportation of the Eleventh
Census; and in 1913-16 he acted as adviser to a commission of the Chinese
Republic on the standardization of railway accounts. He was an associate editor
of The International Journal of Ethics, and
was a member of the International Statistical Association, the American Economic Association (of which he was president in 1895-7), and other societies. He
was the author of several valuable works
on political science, especially taxation,
finance, and railway accounting. His
"Science of Finance" (1888) was translated into Japanese.
Professor Adams was married in 1890
to Miss Bertha H. Wright, of Port Huron,
Mich., who survives him with three sons.

of surprise play by the aerial route; but
43
CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS
neither St. Bonaventure, nor Rochester,
nor least of all Western Reserve had anything to offer in the way of powerful,
skillful, or intelligent resistance. As far
as the test of actual battle is concerned
the Cornell eleven remains an unknown
quantity.
The team scored three touchdowns in
the first period, five in the second, three
in the third, and five in the fourth, 55
points in each half. The first two periods
were played by the first eleven; by the
third period a new back field had* been
sent in. At the opening of the fourth
a whole new Cornell team was on the
field, but regardless of changes of personnel, the score kept piling up.
By the end of the second period the
game was no longer a contest; in the
third, interest could not help but lag, but
in the fourth the stands came to life when
the score had passed the 80 mark and in
the last ten minutes there was real interest in the game again, the question
being: would the team hit the hundred
mark or not? It did, with four minutes
more to play, and then scored one final
touchdown for good measure.
That was one of the two interesting
things about this game. The other is the
fact that on the Saturday before Western
Reserve was defeated by Annapolis by the
score of 53 to o. Cornell more than
doubled the Navy's score, an interesting
achievement, though not necessarily significant.
One other comment, perhaps, is not
out of point. With no real opposition,
having things all their own way, it was
perhaps surprising that the Cornell team
kept at it so well, that it maintained its
driving pace, that the momentum of its
attack didn't fall off.
Against the background of such a score
it is difficult to determine what progress
the team had made between this game
and that with Rochester. One felt, however, that the steady development of the
last four weeks had been maintained. The
line was impenetrable always, though
still not decisive and sharp in its charging;
backfield interference formed a bit smarter
than a week before. The whole team got
into the play quite frequently; sometimes the runner had four and five men
to guard him. Defensively the team stopped about everything, but it was worth
noting that usually the opposing backs
got to the line of scrimmage before they
were downed. The sight of Cornell men
breaking through and nailing a man in
his tracks before he could get started has
not been a common one so far.
Cornell broke up Reserve's aerial game
pretty effectively. A pass, Cathcart to
Krump, which made twenty-five yards,
was about the only successful play of the
visitors, and it gave them their one first
down. Three or four Reserve passes were
intercepted, one by Olney in the last two
minutes for a touchdown, the fullback
running twenty-five yards for the score,
and another in the third period by Lechler, who ran seventy yards to the oneyard line before being downed. Generally,
however, Cathcart was so hurried that he
could not get them away properly. Cornell tried a few new plays with some success and executed one neat forward pass
from running formation. Practically all
of the offensive, however, was of the
straight football variety.
Spectacular runs by Kaw, Pfann,
Gould, Rooney, and Ramsey and smashing line plunges by Lechler and Ramsey
were the order all of the afternoon. Gould,
a recruit from the sprinters of the track
squad, proved again that he was the fastest man on the Cornell squad, so speedy
in fact that he overran his interference
frequently. The playing of Olney in the
last period attracted attention. He made
four touchdowns.
Several fumbles in the first period would
have proved costly against a more formidable opponent, and there were isolated
instances of failure to follow the ball.
Generally speaking, however, the team is
bearing out its early season promise of
developing into a stronger, more versatile,
and more intelligent eleven than last
year's. The lineup and summary:

LITERARY REVIEW
A Study of Prices
Prices of Farm Products in the United
States, by George F. Warren '03. United
States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 999. Washington. Government
Printing Office. 1921. 8vo, pp. 72.
We are all vitally interested in the price
of farm products—the farmers as sellers,
the rest of the community as buyers.
Moreover, we have lately been learning
lessons in solidarity—that when one part
of the community suffers the rest suffer.
When a house burns, the neighbors may
rejoice, thinking they are going to sell the
householder the makings of a new house;
but if the owner has no money left to buy,
he may even become a charge on the community, and in any case the community
wealth is diminished by the value of the
burned building.
So with the farmer. Price conditions
following the war have been very bad for
him. Professor Warren has studied these
conditions in the light of the experience
of the War of 1812 and the Civil War, and
has arrived at interesting conclusions.
The ultimate test of the farmer's prosperity is the purchase power of what he
has to sell. If the purchasing power of
money in 1909-14 be taken as 100, the
whosesale prices of 1920 had gone to 250;
so far as these prices were concerned, then,
the dollar was worth forty cents. Because of this and various other conditions
the purchasing power of farm products in
June, 1921 was as follows: cotton, 51;
corn, 61; oats, 60; barley, 53; wheat, 93;
rye, 101; buckwheat, 101; flaxseed, 55;
beans, 81; hay, 68; potatoes, 64; peanuts, 48; beef cattle, 69; sheep, 66; wool,
58; hogs, 67; horses, 45. The average
purchasing power of 31 products was 70.
Thus the farmer is unable to buy factory
products, and this affects business and
industry. If the country cannot buy, the
city cannot sell. The farmer's plight has
greatly increased the general industrial
depression.
Can anything be done to better conditions, or must we simply wait for the
clouds to roll by?
Professor Warren urges the adjustment
of wages, freight rates, retail prices to
some general level as soon as possible;
too high prices should come down, and
too low prices should come up. Encouragement of exports is necessary, involving a
liberal policy of financing exports so that
Europe can afford to buy. The farmer is
to be encouraged to become more nearly
self-sustaining. Credit should be extended
to farmers to enable them to continue to
farm in an orderly but conservative manner; and farm credits should to a greater
extent be financed as investments rather
than as temporary bank credits. The
supply of livestock should be increased.

nation, the outlook for exportation of
wheat and rye is more favorable than for
other products. Reserves of grain and
hay should be built up so that the unexpectedly large crops may be used to supplement the short crops which are now
almost equally injurious to industry.
Finally, courage and perseverance are
necessary to meet difficult conditions and
carry the farmer through to normal times.
