Roosevelt Pressure Signals Fresh Push For Congressional Action
President Roosevelt continues to urge Congress toward late session action on key issues. He notes lawmakers resist new bills ahead of the national campaign, preferring adjournment while promising to take up measures on federal compensation for public employees, child labor restrictions, Inland Waterways, tariff and currency investigations, and anti trust reforms. The piece argues current mood curtails decisive moves but credits the President with placing responsibility on congressional leaders. It also discusses calls to tighten injunctions and modernize the Sherman Act, suggesting these topics await a future session rather than immediate action.

Pennsylvania Bond Sale Signals Market Restored for Quality Rail Securities
Oversubscription to the Pennsylvania Railroad bond issue suggests credit strain easing and ample capital for first class investments. The first mortgage bonds on lines east of Pittsburgh are top tier railroad securities.

Misfit Education Sparks High School Curriculum Reform
Educators and parents urge a strict order in high school courses to avoid misfit offerings that push many city pupils away. The drive focuses on placing courses properly, stopping the drift toward a college prep bias that benefits only a minority and neglects broader student needs.
Rethinking High School Curriculum For Business needs
Professor David Snedden argues in Charities and the Commons that many public high school students leave early to work, with 43 percent of city high school pupils in their first year and 26 percent in the second. New York City shows a severe drop in graduation amid a mass of first and second year students, as families cite wage earning pressures. He urges boards to tailor offerings for fourteen to sixteen year olds entering business and industry rather than traditional college preparatory subjects.
