晨七点起。八点廿分至校。阅公文及函件十余通。毕业生何植栋来谈,为前日在教务处与张教〔务〕长冲突事,余嘱其向意谋道歉。朱习生来谈。中午回。睡一小时。习生来,渠巳允接于中学校长事,惟附中教员分为派别,渠颇左袒新进之师范学生,但对于储笑天、王清泉二人教课亦不满。拟去劳作教员王某,因其有鼓动学生罢王、储二人之课。余谓王、储如不去,则以两方均不动为是。

W oodrow Wilson The New Freedom , Chap. 6 , Let there be light.
Everγbody knows that corruption thrives in secret places , and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety. We are never so proper in our conduct as when everybody can look & see exactly what we are doing. If you are off in some distant part of the world & suppose that nobody who lives a mile of your home is anywhere around , there are times when you adjourn your ordinary standard恐惧乎其所不睹. The most dangerous thing in the world is get off where nobody knows you. Publicity is one of the purifying elements of politics . .. There is no air so wholesome as the air of utter publicity.
