Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Human Factor in Education If the United States is to maintain the financial and industrial leadership which has been thrust upon it by the extraordinary conditions in Europe, it must, among other things, handle the immigration question as a sci entific problem, not as one to be treated without thought or system; it must establish relations between employer and employee based, not upon the self-seeking of both, but upon their common needs and upon their loyalty the one to the other; it must develop its public education in such a way as to make efficient workmen and men competent to lead; it must deal with the tariff question not, as heretofore, at the behest of selfish interests, but on grounds of sound social economy; and it must seek out and give authority to men big enough to handle complicated financial questions as statesmen, not as tools either of those who, though equally greedy, are forever denouncing Wall Street greed, or of Wall Street itself.
