...boys started living, working and studying last week. They were state wards of 14 and 15 years, selected by Henry Ford and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Welfare to be undergraduates of the Wayside Inn Trade School. Nobody pays their tuition. They will sow seeds, grind grains, bake bread, shear sheep, weave textiles to earn wages large enough to keep them in school and have a little spending money. Also they will dig into high school textbooks for four years, after which they will probably get good jobs in the Ford industries. Another modern, almost communistic, dream of Henry Ford...
...cold rooms, life trickled on in Avarice House. Emily would walk through the halls counting the furniture that would be hers, when her mother died. Mrs. Fletcher would tighten her lips and help the cook to scrub the floors and bake the bread. The old invalid would lie upstairs, her mind full of a thin despair and a narrow, terrible enmity.

A little further and cramps twisted Young's stomach muscles, and the first favorite was hauled from the swim...
City-bleached people flock to the seashore to get a coat of tan. Soon, perhaps, they may sit in their offices and bake to a brown that would shame a lifeguard. For Architect Hugh Ferriss plans skyscrapers of glass-the kind that permits health-giving ultraviolet rays to come in-threaded with steel beams. Last week he showed to newsgatherers a model which he had designed for next month's Machine Age Exposition in Manhattan-a little structure like a faery crystal palace strung with moon-shafts. In exchange for a minimum of privacy, which could readily be increased...
