...Company. Marion studied the roles of Mignon and Arline in the Bohemian Girl, sang them in May, 1922 (aged 15), Kansas City pricked up its ears. Jacob A. Harzfeld and John T. Harding did more than prick up their ears. They set about overcoming the Talley difficulty, which was lack of funds, arranged a series of concerts that netted $10,000, arranged through Otto Kahn an audition with the Metropolitan Opera authorities in November, 1922. There followed months of study in Manhattan, then more concerts in Kansas City, Kan., in Lindsborg, Kan., in Emporia. The Talleys?mother, Florence and Marion?...
...people. Those isolated especially in the mountain regions, suffer considerably from poor light and insufficient heat in their homes, ignorance of proper food preparations, ignorance of the transmission of diseases, absence of sanitation, early marriages with a high death rate for mothers and children, and the lack of doctors, nurses, hospitals, clinics and dispensaries. In one North Carolina county 5,000 people, half of the population, were examined for hookworm; 42% were infected. Trachoma, the highly infectious eye disease, was present in 2.3% of 816 children seen...

Since the American plan of advanced study well nigh excludes its followers from the untheorized actions of their fellow men, it is to a certain degree incomplete...
...church will not lack funds. Its present holding, the Park Avenue Baptist Church, is undervalued, considering land values and replacement cost, at $1,750,000 and has several congregations already seeking it. This sum Mr. Rockefeller will duplicate. Additional gifts have been volunteered by others of the congregation, so that no general canvass for funds will be needed or made. If any shortage of funds develops, certain members have guaranteed sufficient financing. Such amplitude of money stopped tentative talk last summer of constructing a "skyscraper," church, like the $4,000,000 Broadway Temple to be built on Washington Heights, Manhattan...
