Paradoxically, all the hard work is easier than it looks. "The students are no brighter," says veteran French Teacher Lawrence Garrett of Denver's East High School. "They have the benefit of better guidance, testing and prodding." New "discovery" approaches in math, physics and chemistry, for example, make learning more alluring. TV has apparently boosted vocabularies and widened horizons. Cheap paperbacks have put poets and philosophers in any hip pocket. Along with language labs that make drill palatable go new courses in the techniques of studying. "They have learned how to read rapidly, how to summarize...
...class run by Robert Henri and George Bellows, both of whom rambled on about love, life and art and seemed to make it a point to disagree about everything. Then one day at the clothing store, young Gropper did a series of political caricatures that someone took to Garret Garrett, assistant editor of the old New York Tribune.

Robert Garrett, 85, Baltimore banker, collector of ancient Oriental manuscripts, and last survivor of the 13-man U.S. squad that won the unofficial team victory in the first modern Olympiad in 1896; of arteriosclerosis; in Baltimore. After arriving in Athens tired and out of shape a day before the Games began, Garrett, then a Princeton junior, unkinked quickly, finished first in the shotput and the discus throw (which he had never tried before), took second in the broad jump and high jump...
...according to a member of the hunt, in formal hunting clothes: canary breeches, dark Melton coat, derby and black hunting boots. This is the approved outfit for fox hunting. She stayed out for an hour or so. Hounds met at Meetze's Scale, near ex-Ambassador George Garrett's Chilly Bleake farm. Again she joined the field after hounds had moved off. Having a fox-hunting First Lady is definitely more stimulating to the housewife than having one who bowls or knits. When and if the President starts hunting, it will be even more provocative. He has ridden...
