Give Us Fewer but More Highly
Trained Lawyers
By CLARENCE D. ASHLEY, Dean of the New York University
Law School
WE NEED FEWER LAWYERS, BUT THOSE WE HAVE SHOULD
BE HIGHLY TRAINED, LIBERALLY EDUCATED MEN.
There is a very general belief among fair minded men that
our legal system is antiquated, technical and ILL ADAFATED TO
PRESENT DAY NEEDS. To some extent this belief is justified. We
need a complete fundamental change.
One important element of the existing evils of administration is the
CRUDE CONCEPTION OF LAW on the part of many who are allowed
to practice, for years we have been admitting to the bar all over the
United States poorly educated lawyers.
Our rules of evidence should be GREATLY MODIFIED, if not done
away with entirely. For instance, the rule against hearsay is subject t<>
thirteen exceptions of a confusing nature and based upon no underlying
principle. Why not leave the entire question to the sound discretion of
the trial judge, just as we do that of materiality?
In criminal law, modernization is still more imperative, but is ot a
matter for politicians nor for commissions drawing large salarie- and
vexv few lawyers have the necessary intellectual equipment.
Worshiping Is Out of Fashion

Men have CEASED TO READ THE BIBLE and put it on tl..

Our Women, Like Children, Spoiled
By MICHAEL DE BERNOFF, Russian Journalist and Lecturer
THIS is not the worst country in tlie workl. but it is NOT THE
BEST by a long way.
With al! rav countrvmen who have been here I agree that
AMERICAN WOMEN ARE THE HANDSOMEST IX THE WORLD,
but European writers of the present day aiso remark that the beauty is
only EXTERNAL, and, judging by the divorce cases in the New York
newspapers. I think that is correct.
THE WOMEN HERP ARE SPOILED LIKE THE CHILDREN.
