...this were not enough, Tomorrow's School would have a model farm, a domestic zoo, greenhouses, pond, a lake for "kiddie fishing" and a Man-Made Mountain "for children to climb and explore to their hearts' content." And what sort of education will these children be getting? "Dynamic education," say Caudill & Co. grandly. "This must be, because education, like the American way of life, is ever changing, never static...
Across the Pond. The peacock in its prime is shown by Author Bedford with the brilliance of an artist who can paint both a huge panorama and an Audubon closeup. Julius von Felden, feckless son of an ancient baronial house of Baden, has come to Berlin to marry Melanie. daughter of the Jewish House of Merz-a plutocratic, rock-solid family that lives in a welter of steam heat, massive drapes, and meals so continuous and gigantic that every room contains a deftly hidden mousetrap...

Now once again Monet's star has begun to glow almost as brightly as that of Cezanne, whose studies paved the way for Cubists...
...petty deceits of big business. I think Solomon's Wisdom is better, if only because it shows more completely how lost a businessman can get in the midst of his own designs and the "apparently sympathetic attention" he gives to his associates. Paul Goodman's Bathers at Westover Pond less successfully describes the frightful misunderstandings of a married couple. The story takes the form of a series of seperate, mistaken images which the two thrust upon each other. Though these psychological forays are real enough by themselves, they don't seem connected. This lacks a continuing life...
