ABSTRACT
No Adjustment Without a Standard. So great is the force of inertia and so negligible the desire for critical analysis that after a generation of sharp opposition, the term adjustment is still in vogue and employed as a sesame to the solution of all problems between the individual and society. Little boots it that the word adjustment is devoid of significance apart from a standard, still less does it seem to matter that the environment, milieu, society, and other standards, to which the adjustment is customarily held to be made, is something elusory in definition, the panacea has such a firm hold on the enlighteners of the public that it scarcely can be abandoned.
