...course we have been careful not to carry the doctrine of equality too far. We do not project it into the field of taxation, for example. Oh, no, not at all! Men may be equal in their capacity to govern, but not for one moment do we hold them equal in their ability to earn and in their ability to pay. In other words, we exalt the common man so far is his shared in the control of government is concerned, but when it comes to liquidating the cast of this control well, at that point the common man seems...
...fanatics, half-breed Indians, escaped murderers. Not for three years did she return to New York, free again, with her girls to support. She worked on newspapers and the stage. She met and married Carl Bender, a Danish artist, who sympathized with her instinct for writing and encouraged the project of her present work. The New York to which she goes back in its pages is the New York of her girlhood, speculatively remembered. That she had lately to send Mr. Bender home to Denmark, an incurable invalid, did not lighten her labors. The Dewing girls, Mary and Elizabeth...
...coats, for they were met- where a line of blue mosaic was worked in the tiled wall to mark midstream-in the Holland* vehicular tunnel connecting Broome St., Manhattan, and 14th St., Jersey City, to signalize its completion.

The Kodak president, able, active George Eastman, has many times manifested keen interest in educational matters, chiefly through his gifts to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (TIME, Feb. 1). That the Kodak interest in cinematic pedagogy is more than a commercial project was seen in the fact that the films are to be made in co-operation with the National Education Association. School authorities in ten cities are to assist- in New York, Rochester, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Los Angeles, Springfield (or Newton), Macs., Atlanta and Winston-Salem, N. C. Dr. Thomas...
...similar project was begun some years ago at Yale University- to reproduce "Chronicles of America" in films which were to be leased to boards of education and private schools, and sent free to ru- ral districts. This venture was found financially impracticable. The present prospect of many school children learning geography and science from "shots" of Patagonian flocks and herds, Chinese temples, the home life of the Paramecium, or of "Making Rubber in Ohio," seems excellent. The Eastman Kodak Co. is one of the largest corporations in the U. S. The National Education Association has some 161,000 members...
