...plan provides that the government appropriate $70,000,000 for the school year 1939-40, increasing the annual sum over a period of six years to $199,000,000 for 1944, spending in all $855,000,000. The greater part of the funds, which are to be proportioned according to the educational needs of the states, are supposed to go to elementary and secondary education. The two reasons given for the government splurge are that the states are helpless and that the present average educational service shows "glaring inequalities" and in certain states is "below the minimum necessary...
...caused the forgetting of personal Immortality. The purpose of Work is to improve the world for posterity; the modern way of life is the identification of self with the Work of the world. The unity of work transcends in importance the labor of the individual. Thus in this period the person cannot become eternal; only the idea or object towards which he contributes his self may live forever.

Never a goalie in his playing days, Patrick allowed the puck to slip by him only once, saved the game. In the third game, with a borrowed goalie, the Rangers...
...such a shift indicates receding velocity. But the speeds are so big that many astronomers consider the Expanding Universe may be an illusion, have sought some other cause for the redshift in the spectrum. A decrease in Planck's constant h (energy of light multiplied by its vibration period) might be such a cause. Last year Britain's potent Theorist Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac suggested that the gravitational constant and certain others were dependent on t, the age of the universe, and were therefore slowly altering as the universe gets older. Last month in the Physical Review Mathematicians...
...Winthrop House gentlemen were a great deal less anxious to see the recent exam period come to a close than most students. In a rash moment they had sworn mighty oaths to stop smoking on the day of their last exams--a promise which both of them, being inveterate smokers, found difficult to keep. But, being men of determination, they were observing the unwelcome vows under which they labored when they met for dinner last night...
