Would classroom work be improved if the teacher charged his students $2.50 per visit? Or if some students, unable to pay the bills, were too embarrassed to attend class and face the teacher, much as they needed his services?

...rate fight, which Mr. O'Malley settled in 1935. Insurance companies had jacked up their rates on fire and windstorms. Some $9,500,000 in increased premium collections were impounded by the courts when the policyholders protested.

Eleven of the twelve riders who finished had nothing but saddle galls to show for their trouble, were trying to rake up enough hay money to get back to North Texas, where they hoped to see Mr. Parton face to face. But Promoter Parton was missing...
...newspaper dogma that reporters and desk men are underpaid, that the only way to make money is to get yourself a column and be a trained seal. Last week's Congressional report on salaries of $15,000 and over in 1937 showed ambitious cubs how much fish the big trained seals...
