It is most unfortunate that this craze for speeding and top-notching should strike our educational programs. Youth is the time for growth—and growth, to be healthy, should be normal and without artificial forcing.
A machine age with its top-notch goal on mass production necessarily overrides the individual, sacrificing spiritual values as it throws open the throttle to “let her go” for all she’s worth!...Never mind about the scenery—just get there! a few hundredths of a second quicker, a few millimeters faster, a few feet higher…
