Thus the riddle has not only been solved, but solved beyond possibility of contradiction. Does the student of the fine arts rise to demand a place among artists? One glance in a ledger is sufficient to relegate the wretch to his proper place with the men of science. Thus controversy is eliminated. By one more wise regulation the honor of the administration has been vindicated...
...whole program of study in the preparatory school is arranged with the goal of College Board Examinations in view. The blighting influence of this goal atrophies all attempts to introduce training beyond the strict limits of requirements. When the competence of a teacher is judged by his pupils' success in the examinations, he can hardly afford to squander time on material not included in the College Board syllabus. Thus, instead of education, the whole apparatus of cramming flourishes. Instructors find outlines of the questions in their subject for the past ten, fifteen, or twenty-five years more useful than treatises...

Beginning with the origin of our earth as a ball of flaming matter, he traces its history to the present, pierces the atmosphere, travels to our moon, to the planets, to the sun, beyond our stars to stars infinitely greater, and finally to the nebulae, those gigantic whirling masses of worlds unborn, and thus in a sense returns to the beginning...

Two line plays followed and then Pilney dropped back to pass again. This time, Hanley caught the ball just beyond the line of scrimmage, cut to the left, zigzagged 10 yd. to the goalline...
Like the perturbations in planetary orbits that indicated the existence of a planet beyond Neptune, all this was evidence, not proof. Like the planet Pluto, heavy hydrogen had to be located. Dr. Urey knew that if its atoms had indeed a mass of two units, it would show spectrum lines of a predictable kind and position. The question was how to get the substance in sufficient concentration to show spectrum lines at all. It occurred to him that if liquid hydrogen were allowed to evaporate, the lighter atoms would pass off first, leaving the heavy ones in greater abundance. Hydrogen...
