...away. The little red schoolhouse has given place to an imposing edifice in brick, equipped with swimming pools, hot lunch counters, and the latest thing in classroom furniture. Tedious studies have been sugared over by electric maps, bolls, lantern shows, and similar kindergarten bric-a-brac. Latin and Greek, classic burden to the juvenile scholar's soul, are dying slowly away. After all, they are dead languages, unpractical, and the children do not care for them...
...strains of the West Point band, and forming the most brilliant spectacle that Boston is ever treated to, the Cadets from the banks of the Hudson invade Cambridge today for the annual football classic.

...Minute Alibi (by Anthony Armstrong; Crosby Gaige & Lee Shubert, producers). London has been excited about this play for the past ten months, and no wonder. Less ghoulish than Rope's End, as cleverly constructed as A. A.
