...sell it to Calvert College for a new stadium; the interest Mrs. Gore (Ann Dvorak) shows in a ringer halfback; the resentment of Calvert's best player (Dick Powell) when he gets passing marks he does not deserve -are far more interesting than the locker-room orations and kindergarten campus antics with which Hollywood usually pays its respects to football every autumn. The picture fits less into the category of a juvenile sporting print than into the group of quick, journalistically written thumbnail biographies which Warners have made their specialty for the last two years. Smart dialog by Manuel...
...been too severe for such homeopathic doses. It is now clear that to improve the product of the curriculum there must be improvement in its raw material. If the college today would work improvements it would best begin by agitating energetically for a reliable, thorough and uniform system of kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools, which can be trusted to train boys for scholarship.

Last week Friends' School celebrated its 50th anniversary-not in I Street but in a new Recreation Hall further out, on Massachusetts Avenue, where the first five grades are taught and where there are playgrounds...
...Russia heard last week about the "good children," Pavel 13 and Fedor 9, tender martyrs to the Communist cause. Soviet moppets are taught from kindergarten up that good children spy upon their parents, grandparents and older people generally. Such people, the State fears, may be anti-Communistic (i. e. old-fashioned...
