...first Archivist of the U. S.* For this $10,000-a-year job, created by the last Congress, he followed the recommendation of the American Historical Association and chose Robert Digges Wimberly Connor, 56, American History professor at the University of North Carolina. A shy, heavyset, golfing, poker-playing pedagog, Professor Connor was Archivist of the State of North Carolina from 1913 to 1921, has spent years digging out old documents for the excellent collection in his University's library. For his Government his job will be not to collect but to weed out surplus records from bureaus...
...Tired Tim") Petrie, Headmaster of St. Kentigern's School, Pitgoorlie Bay, Scotland, is the easygoing, outwardly conventional, inwardly puzzled ruler of a domain. The Rev. Charles ("Wearie Willie") Murray, devout, pious, gentle, with definite leanings toward Rome, is constantly baffled by the problems confronting a pedagog in the English public school. While masters worry over problems of faith and dogma, of pedagogy and discipline, of finances and families, the boys concern themselves with cricket, standing, good form, smut and tormenting "Wearie Willie." Young Middleton falls in love with "Tired Tim's" blithe young daughter and after certain vicissitudes...

Easy to identify are Mrs. Ball's children Anna Eleanor ("Sistie") and Curtis ("Buzzie") who show a mute and dazzled Scamper the White House foyer, the State dining room, the grand stairway, the Presidential study. No pedagog, Mrs. Dall imparts to her readers only as much of Washington's historical background as Dave and Babs can remember. A direct literary descendant of Beatrix Potter's "Peter Rabbit," Scamper is screwed more tightly to possibility, will please modern children with its modern setting. Better than the text grown...
...Author. Oswald Spengler chose Germany (Blankenburg im Harz) as his birthplace, history as his province. He studied mathematics, philosophy, art and history in Munich and Berlin, wrote his doctor's thesis on Heraclitus, then subsided into the anonymity of a pedagog. When the first version of Der Untergang des Abendlandes (The Decline of the West) was finished, he could find no German publisher, brought it out in Vienna. By 1923 it had become a world affair, reached the U. S. in 1926. No longer hidden under a bushel of schoolboys' papers, Spengler's threatening light shines...
