To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In one of the cases I attended, the judge had frequent occasion to caution the representative of a union on his conduct of the evidence, and to advise him as to what he should not do. Finally, his Honour, in a state bordering on despair, ex- claimed : "It appears to me that so far as the proceed- ings of this court are concerned, the legal pro- fession will have to be admitted. You," he said. A School for Grown-ups 85 to the union's advocate, "are not conducting the proceedings in an intelligib...le manner, and all I can get is inference." The educational influence of the court extends to other matters than the modes of arguing the case and handling evidence. At a meeting of the Arbitration Court when a witness was being examined as to his average earnings, his Honour said it was the duty of all trade-unionists to keep a proper account. If they did not want to do this for themselves, they should do it in the interests of their union and their associates. And on the same day an employer, called by the association of master-painters, in giving his evidence about wages and other matters, frequently used the phrase "I think." The judge interrupted him to say that an employer keep- ing books should "know," not "think," and that in such matters as these, he could take suppo- sitions only for what they were worth.
