...bald, white-whiskered popular biographer who looks like a country doctor is Gamaliel Bradford (Bare Souls, Wives, As God Made Them). Last week in the New York Times literary supplement he pondered U. S. education, decided it was "chaos," recommended a "clue which . . . may afford a certain amount of help. I mean the clue of biography." Though Biographer Bradford does not offer his own trade as a solution of all teaching problems (he admits it does not afford intellectual discipline), he says it has "the immense advantage of affording a natural link between the otherwise widely scattering and mutually repellent...
...desk in the International Institute of Teachers College at Columbia University, his eye falls fondly and proudly on a thickly dotted map showing the number of students from foreign lands who have studied under his guidance. Last week white-haired Dr. Monroe, who looks like the late Warren Gamaliel Harding in spectacles, was triply honored. From Baghdad came an invitation to be president of the Iraq Educational Survey. From Persia came a decoration-the Order of Science Achievement, 1st Class-for his services to international learning. And in Denver 4,000 delegates of the World Federation of Education Associations elected...
...Marion, Ohio, on June 16th according to yesterday's newspapers, the curtain rises on the last act of an American tragedy.

...Stanley Park, principal plaza of Vancouver, B. C., stands a stone monument called the Harding Memorial, erected by the Canadian Kiwanis Club. It honors Warren Gamaliel Harding, only President of the U. S. to visit Canada while in office, whose reception at Vancouver shortly preceded his death in San Francisco. But Vancouver Kiwanians squirmed with discomfort last week. Other thoughtful citizens deplored. U. S. visitors were in a ferment of indignation. For, despite many a protest, Vancouver's loud evening Sun ("Vancouver's most useful institution") was publishing serially The Strange Death of President Harding by onetime Federal...
Last week the Post Office Department announced that on Dec. 1 President Warren Gamaliel Harding would turn his head 90°, would henceforth offer his full face to view on the brown 1½?stamps. Reason: many people did not fancy the profile of the 29th President. The new stamps will be put on sale first in the Harding hometown, Marion, Ohio; will be further distributed as the old ones are exhausted. The denomination is used chiefly on unsealed folders...
