...Deal, although his leave of absence from Columbia University does not expire until next June, was not officially explained. Personal reasons might have caused it: his wife recently left Washington and returned to Manhattan. But his official position in Washington had also grown uncomfortable. He still enjoyed the Presidential favor, particularly shown in a visit to his Greenbelt satellite city (TIME, Nov. 23).

As a further indication of the lack of fundamental "grounding" in the subject, the percentage figures of the students attending tutoring schools last year ran well above average in each of the elementary courses. It is especially significant as an indication of a trend, rather than as a particular case, that in one elementary course in which a brilliant research...
