...saving $2,000,000. In Toledo they were to open three weeks late. Elsewhere in Ohio, one-third of the schools had no money to open. Last week the Legislature was considering means of raising $8,700,000 for the schools. It was also faced with a proposal to allot $3,000,000 in State aid to Roman Catholic parochial schools, the Catholics holding that they are entitled to aid since they pay taxes for public schools. Aid failing, they predict that Ohio's public schools will be swamped with 171,305 Catholic children. ¶ Last Spring, with...
...excursion into the bond market, in fact the first long-term Treasury issue since September 1931. The rush of investors for the new bonds was generally interpreted as one more manifestation of the public's confidence in its President and his program. Because the Treasury had promised to allot in full all subscriptions of $10,000 or less it was expected that the issue would greatly exceed $500,000,000.

To encourage small investors the bonds were offered in denominations as low as $100, and the Treasury declared its intention of trying to allot in full all subscriptions up to $10,000. Within a few hours banks announced a heavy subscription. Success of this issue will make it easy for the Treasury to pay off its short term notes now maturing nearly every month, presages further "popular" offerings to solve refunding problems...
...excellence of each college which determines the rigidity of that graduating standard. To maintain it many men are deprived of the pleasure of working at a college level during their freshman year, to achieve the first steps of Parnassus which their preparatory schools ignored. Present educational conferences regularly allot one day to discussing the problem, and their conclusions are never sanguine. Any lowering of the barriers to admit men, however attractive and promising personally, who must be laboriously assisted through their freshman courses, could not be considered an educational reform...
