"And what was the motive of these great organizations?" "The workmen claimed they had to organize to get their rights from the big corporations," I replied.

"The people who take the paper pay the expense of its publication, choose its editor, and remove him when unsatisfactory.
It had been suggested by Dr. Leete that we should devote the next morning to an inspection of the schools and colleges of the city, with some attempt on his own part at an explanation of the educational system of the twentieth century.
