...regarding the student's school and admission record, which are available in the Dean's Office, and by making necessary readjustments of sections as the year progressed. The chief objections to sectioning according to ability are that the removal of the best students from a section makes the discussion dull and uninteresting and that it is difficult to interest capable teachers in instructing the poorer sections...
...Moore is not a polished actress, but she is an unusually handsome and healthy looking young woman. Lawrence Tibbett is adequately tempestuous. Best shot: Tibbett tactfully translating a gypsy song. Sunny (First National). The only excuses that could possibly be advanced for reproducing a musical comedy so old and dull as this are: 1) It was a Broadway smash in its day; 2) Marilyn Miller was available for her original part.

It's an old western custom to give a chivivari to an engaged couple. In accordance with tradition Miss Walker, in a night gown, together with her betrothed, is placed upon...
...labor. The immense subsidies which foreign ships squeeze out of the wages of those who build them and operate them are no less subsidies because they are taken from labor alone than are government payments to ships, to which payments the people as a whole contribute. Is anyone so dull that he cannot comprehend this obvious fact? Why then do critics of our policy ignore...
