...educational paradox. Not only has it expanded more rapidly than any other graduate school of the University--it claims world recognition besides. Yet here at Harvard, it is virtually unknown. The services that the school performs for the local and international community affect the world's health as almost no other public health institution.

After questioning 4,200 rural schoolteachers, the National Education Association decided that times are changing. In 1952 she was apt to have her own home, drive an automobile, make $2,484.
