...schools, Spence has had its troubles. By 1932 it was undeniably losing ground to such rivals as Brearley, Chapin, Miss Hewitt's, Nightingale-Bamford. In alarm the trustees merged it with small Miss Chandor's School, under Valentine Laura Chandor. By the time Headmistress Chandor died last autumn Spence was again heading up. To carry on the good work the trustees last week picked as her successor and the school's fifth headmistress Miss Dorothy Brockway. Pretty, young (37), brunette Dorothy Brockway, graduate of swankless Barnard College, has for the past eight years been assistant supervisor...

...concentrated as the flat glass division, although a half dozen companies account for about 80% of the business. In 1935 the U.

Another cold weather problem, the explanation of why it is that plants growing under apparently similar conditions and close together respond differently to the effects of a severely cold winter, has been solved at the Arboretum, Professor Ames said. Temperatures were recorded from autumn until spring at selected points in the Arboretum and it was found that variations of as much as twelve degrees Fahenheit occurred in adjacent at the same hour, showing clearly why plants growing in these various spots were differently affected by the weather...
Typical of what a few companies have already done, what many companies will probably do, was Bethlehem's move. Utility holding companies have been madly unscrambling for months. U. S. Steel's merger of its two biggest subsidiaries as Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. last autumn was part of the same pattern. How much he U. S. corporate structure will be simplified before the trend is done no man can say, though one thing is clear: simplification is what the Administration wants and what it is getting...
