...Soviet Academy For Political Clowns opened its doors at Moscow last week under the rigid supervision of the State. Shrewd, Dictator Stalin has long since instructed his subordinates to see that in every Communist parade there shall be funnymen dressed as "President Coolidge," "King George V," "Capital," etc. Amid deep Communist bellymirth "President Coolidge," refuses to "recognize" a "Russian Bear," trips over it and falls sprawling...
Tank. The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. Director of Tropical Research William Beebe, of the New York Zoological Society, wants to go under the mountain-the mile-high mountain of the deep sea-to see what can be seen by the light of luminous fishes.

Certainly, in spite of their flippancy, his remarks cut deep, emanating as they do from a man vitally connected with modern education. As for his suggested panacea--if it were applicable it would probably prove efficient; but he demands such devastating frankness from sinners that the plan appears more theoretical than practical...
