Teachers in schools and departments of philosophy in American diversities are agitated over the present status of their professional field and its fortunes in the future. They are asking, do people today have less interest in philosophy than heretofore? What can teachers of philosophy do to arouse and maintain interest in that type of study and reflection which, they hold, pertains to life and knowledge at its source? This is a favorable omen and, if it becomes thorough‐going and genuine, has within it possibilities of constructive reform.
