...World Federation of Education Associations, a nonpolitical, nonsectarian, decidedly conservative organization, this year accepted Brazil's invitation to hold its biennial conference (from August 6 to 11) in Rio de Janeiro. Few weeks ago, after some Federation members had already started to roll down to Rio, Brazil's Government (in which General Goes Monteiro's Army is potent) abruptly called the meeting...
Billed as "nonsectarian and non-partisan," the 13 lectures were "expected to result in a rediscovery of spiritual and patriotic values in this community." Playwright Channing Pollock labeled his address: "I Am a Reactionary." The others did not need to.

...Friends' Meeting House, one of three where Herbert Hoover worshipped, has been there 125 years, and beside it are two red brick dwellings which house the Friends' School. Other Washington schools are more progressive, more expensive, but none is more sedately aristocratic than Friends', a nonsectarian, co-educational kindergarten-through-high school for which social as well as financial references are always required. Last week Friends' School celebrated its 50th anniversary-not in I Street but in a new Recreation Hall further out, on Massachusetts Avenue, where the first five grades are taught and where there...
