Edward Everett Gann, an unassuming man, long led a quiet life in Washington. He practiced law, he made some money. He never troubled his head about Society and Society never troubled its head about him. Edward Everett Gann was a happy...
...Senator from Kansas. But that fact did not affect the smooth and comfortable routine of his life. When Mrs. Curtis died five years ago, the Senator as a widower went to live in the vine-clad Gann home in Cleveland Park, informal Washington suburb. When his brother-in-law sought the presidential nomination last year at the Kansas City Convention, Mr. Gann journeyed out and took charge of the Curtis headquarters. It was pretty much a family affair and all very jolly...
...until his brother-in-law was nominated and elected Vice President of the U. S. did Mr. Gann's troubles begin.

Violators of community regulations are turned over by the police to the labor commissioner who makes them work. Thus, since Montezuma, like all schools, has chronic and clonic law-violators, a student-built gymnasium was erected. Last week, in Worcester, Mass., Clark University's Dr. Vernon Jones (psychologist) revealed a new method of teaching sound citizenship to future citizens. The plan: to confront elementary school students with a problem requiring a moral judgment, to let the students, unaided...
