...shade of Edmund Burke may have smiled reminiscently as University of Chicago's goateed Dean of Education Charles Hubbard Judd thundered this peroration in Chicago's West Side Stadium one night last week. But on the faces of 20,000 listening parents and teachers were no smiles. Grimly they had set their jaws and wills against the Board of Education which week before had trimmed $4,000,000 worth of what it called "fads and frills" (junior high schools, kindergartens, physical educators, etc., etc.) out of Chicago's school system (TIME, July...
...time the storm beat chiefly around the educational issues involved. Then it centred on political machinations and the authenticity of the Board's announced $10,000,000 deficit in 1933 which it had offered as motive of its economizing. At the mass meeting Dean Judd traced the economy move back to an order from Mayor Edward Joseph Kelly, who had in turn taken his orders from Publisher Robert Rutherford McCormick of the Chicago Tribune. In the matter of the deficit, Dean Judd gave to the Board the lie direct...
...Herald & Examiner had previously asserted that the deficit was really only some $5,000,000, to which the Board had added $2,600,000 in anticipation of a hypothetical decrease in tax revenues. Now Dean Judd charged outright that the Board had deliberately misstated the deficit in order to frighten the public into accepting its cuts. Even if it were trying to wipe out in one year the deficit accumulated since 1929, that, at 1932's end, had been less than $7,000,000. As for 1933's genuine deficit of $1,162,940, that had already been...
Superintendent Bogan then proceeded to outline a substitute plan by which the disputed $4,000,000 could be saved, chiefly by still another two-week shortening of the school term, a payless week for teachers. But the audience, happily accepting Dean Judd's figures, would hear of no more school economies. Ignoring Superintendent Bogan, they adopted unanimously resolutions: 1) demanding that the Board rescind its order or resign; 2 & 3) calling on Mayor Kelly and Illinois' Governor Henry Horner to intervene; 4) extending "profound thanks and appreciation" to William Randolph Hearst and the editor of the Herald & Examiner...
...intoxication in man. Some individuals burn up alcohol faster than others. The quick-burners can drink much more than the others before getting drunk. But every drunk's brain is wet with alcohol. Thus Dr. Gettler could tell that Ruth Snyder besotted her husband before she and Judd Gray crushed his skull with a sash weight (TIME. April 4, 1927, et seq.}. Driving from the crime she tried to enhearten Judd Gray with a slug of whiskey. "That whiskey." said Dr. Gettler, "was loaded with bichloride of mercury. Sweet woman." Both murderers have been electrocuted. Wilmer Stultz, flyer...
