...educational policy makers and the American public are willing to accept as "higher education" classes of 100 or more, in which the hallowed "two-way togetherness or communication" is nonexistent, then President Martin is correct in his experimentation. How much better would it be if those hypercritical educational associations cited in TIME were to get behind this project rather than spending their time throwing up roadblocks against what no doubt many of their members feel is a potential threat to pedagogic job security...
...blend of hoarded obituaries, old news and old weather reports. Prepared daily while the strike was in progress, stuffed into separate big envelopes (coded Alice, Betsy, Carol, Diana, Edna and so on down through Queenie) against the day publication was resumed, this running rehash avoided the obvious temptation to correct day-to-day judgments in the light of hindsight. On Dec. 27 the Times filed away a story-later proved false-that a transatlantic balloon had landed safely in Venezuela. It would have been easy to replace that story with another before the delayed two-page issue was printed...

...Benson," said a ranking Agriculture Department officer last week, "has been that he talks as if he were the master of the problem, when actually he has been the slave of it." But whatever marks Benson deserves for his six-year effort, it is inescapably obvious that he is correct in his blunt demands for a new farm program to replace the depression-vintage, price-support apparatus, which operates like the unstoppable sorcerer's apprentice's broom-to make worse the problem it was designed to cure...
...psychology course need never face a flesh-and-blood lecturer, and 1,099 students in freshman algebra and English courses are film-fed most of the time. Their education is largely seen to by a woman worker in a central control room, who feeds the proper reels into the correct machines, and a faculty-member monitor, who patrols four TV theaters at a time, sees that sets work right and that classes do not become disorderly. Students with questions to ask may make appointments with instructors...
