Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 12, No. 2, March 16th, 1949.

[Introduction]

The overwheiming logic of practical events and the sheer [unclear: commonsense] of a Socialist solution to the anarchy into which capitalism has driven the world, had made him a Socialist, said Mr. F. L.. Combs in his talk to the Socialist Club on Friday, March 4th. A re-ordering of our education system so that New Zealand's young people came out of our schools able to develop fully was the necessary prerequisite to the re-ordering of society. Mr. Combs was emphatic on this point. "Educate or perish," said Wells; capitalism makes education a farce, commented Combs.
