...attainment of normal speed in reading throughout life. Slow reading is a tremendous handicap in study at every level. The work already done in this subject at the Graduate School of Education promises to lay bare the causes of difficulty in reading and provide meant for at least a partial correction...

As a partial result of this event her husband inexplicably received a medal from the local prince. Although the comedy is at times heavy and overplayed, in the approved Teutonic manner, it is at other times genuinely funny. Best shots: how a Bavarian Babbitt behaves in his office...
