Leonardo. Dr. Johnson, when his dander is up, is something of a bombshell himself. In Chicago he is credited with many pedagogical firsts. He made Chicago the first big U.S. city to adopt a now-accepted plan of remedial reading. He was probably the first U.S. school superintendent to receive an honorary degree (Doctor of Laws) from a college in his own school system (Chicago Teachers College).

When you label some service soldier in a service unit in a very rear area "doughboy" (TIME, Aug. 16), up comes our dander...

A longtime missionary in Mexico, Peru and Uruguay, he well knew that the republics south of the Rio Grande still admit Protestant missionaries, educators and doctors, despite some wartime difficulties. Yet last month the U.S. Catholic hierarchy declared that these missions are "a disturbing factor in our international relations" and are "offensive to the dignity of our Southern brothers, their culture and their religion." Last fortnight the Catholic Digest made further charges (TIME...
