It is published by The John Day Company and is a clear and practical presentation of the workings of an experimental school.

In view of the new realization of the first three years of childhood and the attendant establishment of nursery schools throughout America, the problem dealt with will have a wide interest in educational circles...

The Chrysler-(Dodge)-Dillon deal of last fortnight (TIME, June 11) is such a case. But with Gold Dust and American Linseed the problem is relatively simple. Both sell to the same grocers-cleansers and foods. Salesmen need add only a few loose leaves to their portfolios. But there are apt to be fewer salesmen than the two companies now separately employ...
