...long trousers, the adolescent breaks out in a romantic rash with tragic freckles. He mounts his trusty, high-spirited bicycle, dashes out to the park, there meets with a grande dame reposing in a Rolls-Royce while her chauffeur mends a flat tire.

Army tanks were obtained to haul many battered motor...
...amount of manual training is a very good thing as there are few better ways to teach good physical coordination. However, that children should spend their school days with a factory ever looming in the background will seem open to question. If New England follows the lead of her auto educator she will develop an educational system much like the one existing on the continent of Europe at the present time. A boy at fourteen will have to decide forever his future field of activity. The evils of the scheme are well known. A dwarfed perspective and ill adjustment...
