...average U. S. schoolteacher is a woman of 29. She never went to college, but, after high school, graduated from a teacher training institution (normal school). The 163 U. S. normal schools and teachers' colleges, many of which came into being during the teacher shortage of a generation ago, still hold a virtual monopoly of elementary schoolteaching jobs, since most State Boards of Education so frame their course and credit requirements that many ordinary college graduates are promptly disqualified. That the normal school subsists on a realm of privileged technical training is the belief of many...
...right word for John. An 11-months' baby, he still looked like a foetus when he was born, had to be incubated. His parents soon found him a precocious handful, gradually came to the conclusion that John was a being superior to the normal. Because he needed money for his private schemes, he turned burglar at a tender age, committed his first murder at the age of 9 (self-defense: the policeman had caught him red-handed). He sold many an invention, cleaned up in the stockmarket before he was well into his teens. Unwary adults, engaging...

The Ontario Government doesn't give her much credit for anything! She believes God intends her to endure the pains and she lets...
Some of the doll-men scenes were made by re-projecting double-exposed images upon a measured screen, but most of them required the vastly simpler although staggeringly expensive method of literal photography in sets six times normal size. These scenes were shot on MGM's famed Stage No. 12, twice as big as any other soundstage on the lot. Unlike Director Tod Browning's Freaks, or most of the famed Lon Chaney silents which he made, The Devil-Doll's hobgoblinery beguiles rather than frightens...
