...Metropolitan Museum of Art. The experts do not agree on who the artist was; most attribute it to the 14th century school of Simone Martini in Siena. Yet the master himself was probably not the painter; most likely, it is the work of his brother-in-law and pupil, Lippo Memmi. Experts speculate that the painting was originally part of a magnificent altarpiece, with at least one other saintly companion, and they think they have found a good possibility: a remarkably similar painting of St. Peter, which now hangs in the Louvre in Paris...
...minds, providing it is made "real and exciting." What is needed, says Funston, is more required courses and more and better teachers. As an example of what can be done, Funston cited the twelfth-grade teacher in New York's Nyack High School who collected 50? from each pupil to form an investment pool. Together the class conducted an enthusiastic search for the right company in which to invest their $18, finally bought one share of American Zinc (price last week: $15), avidly followed the market fortunes of "their" company all year-learning something of taxes, tariffs and fiscal...
...German city of Dessau, a pupil of Painter Paul Klee saw him marching down the center of the sidewalk, absentmindedly keeping time to the music of a passing band. What he was pondering, explained Klee, was the rhythmic relationship between the music and the slabs of concrete passing beneath his feet.

Klee, son of a musicologist and himself an accomplished violinist, long wavered between music and painting; throughout his life (he died in 1940) he kept seeing rhythmic parallels between...
...dividing all U.S. personal income among schoolchildren only ($9,157 in 1957-58). Each state would receive a percentage of its deficit, equivalent to the national ratio of school spending to personal income. Sample: in 1957-58 the ratio was 2.83%, and Mississippi's personal income per pupil was $4,264 less than C.E.D.'s suggested foundation. Thus it would have received $121 per student, or a total of $54 million...
...Pupil Placement Program attempts to avoid the problems of the "massive resistance" approach to integration which other Southern states practice. Hodges pointed out that the "safety valve" aspect of this plan allows North Carolina "to pinch off trouble spots in the state without jeopardizing the education of all citizens." Assignment of students in that state is now broad enough to stymie any Court condemnation, Hodges commented. The NAACP has called the Pupil Placement Progam "one of the most difficult obstacles to integration in the South" perhaps because of this "disarming moderation" itself, he added...
