SOUND REFORM
" To write or speak vaguely, warmly, and categorically on social reform is not enough; social reform must come last in the economic curriculum. After full mastery of the theory of value, the nature of _ price and rent, and the horrid jargon of currenoy, shall the student win his right to the lush pastures of emotion, indignation and pontifica- ' tion. Frankly, short courses of lectures on social problems, and readings in the atmosphere of economics without tears, while exeellent for general purposes, do not satisfy this requirement. They may be good in themselves, but they are the peptonised food of readymade conclusions, and tempt the student to think he has l,done ' the subject. To do any good with it in the mind, you must get a headache; to do any good with it in the world," a heartache."- — 'Sir Josiah Stamp. ^
