...from his hometown to Washington to get the Government to do something about hard times. Last month when Congress opened, 1,600 Red "hunger marchers" arrived at the Capital in trucks, tried to muscle their way into the Senate chamber and, failing, traipsed off yelling the "International" (TIME, Dec. 14). Last week another, far larger "army" invaded Washington. No handful of disgruntled partisans were they, but more than 10,000 orderly men who differed from the silent crowds that watched them pass only in that they were wet, hungry and out of work...

The theory upon which New College is based-that education is practical training for useful pursuits-was violently anathematized a year ago, and again last month, by Dr. Abraham Flexner (TIME, Dec. 15, 1930; Dec. 14). From another educator last week came similar but more polite strictures in The Theory of Education in the U. S., by Albert Jay Nock (Harcourt, Brace: $2). But Dr. Nock, unlike Dr. Flexner, is a cordial admirer of President Butler, a graduate (1892) of Columbia...
...Bankers in Des Moines last week denied that National Credit Corp. had aided Iowa-Des Moines National Bank & Trust Co. as stated in TIME, Dec. 28. The statement was published by the American Banker and attributed to W. H. Brenton, president of the bank. Last week's denial was the first made...
