...Survey Graphic, "magazine of social interpretation," thus keynoted "the challenge of democracy to education" in its October issue last week. Survey Graphic last February began an attempt to arouse sluggish U. S. democrats with a trumpeting series entitled "Calling America." Because it believes that "democracy begins in the cradle," the magazine devoted its entire October issue to an appraisal of the U. S. educational system, by 31 famed educators and journalists...

Together they have helped restore respectability to the "Old Lady of State Street," who lost it briefly after the World War in a red-&-yellow whirl under the editorship of Emile Gauvreau, later editor of Bernarr Macfadden's late New York Graphic. The Courant readers (44.000 daily, 67,000 Sunday) get for their 4? no big headlines but plenty of features, local titbits, hobby news. Today the Old Lady is reaping the reward of her most impressive campaign, a consistent fight on Prohibition. Hard pressed by Frank Gannett's Evening Times...
