...five who chanted: "Reviens, papa, demain. Demain, sans faute." Three days later he was seeing the sights of New York City, having his first airplane ride. Said he: "For eight or nine years, ever since I first saw airships flying over North Bay, Callander and Corbeil, Ont.-on the lookout for forest fires, you know-I've wanted to fly. It's the biggest thrill of my life, since the birth of the quints...
Perhaps more important than this individualization of instruction is the method of study in the seminars. Most of the work is the thesis type, where the thesis is everything. A large amount of these courses have no examinations at all. The seminars, however, are not for persons on the lookout for "snap" courses, stand-bys of the tutoring schools.

Trenton (pop. 370) is the proud seat of triangular Dade County at Georgia's northwest corner, only a few miles across the State line from Chattanooga.

His suspicious, self-assured attitude comes naturally, for despite the publicity value of attacks made...
About three years ago, Hollywood, always on the lookout for new and interesting personalities, began to take note of one who called himself John Montague. Handsome, debonair and genial, Montague would have been a welcome addition to Hollywood for his social talents alone. He had other ones as well. He was so modest that, in a community where a private telephone number is considered the ultimate in self-effacement, he not only demurely refused to reveal the source of his apparently lavish income but firmly refused to have his picture taken, politely smashing the cameras of photographers who tried...
