...Moscow the Soviet Government opened last week the first little Red schoolhouse for children of U. S. and British engineers and workmen now helping Russia with her Five-Year Plan. Fond parents faced painful alternatives. The school, as Soviet officials frankly admitted, will try to turn every pupil into a little Bolshevik. But the Government offered free tuition & textbooks, reduced streetcar fares and for each hungry pupil a heaping hot lunch at 15?-such a lunch as would otherwise cost in Moscow at least...
...chin, demonstrated a great talent worthy of great music. Busch, like Brahms, scorns meaningless display. In music alternately heroic and deeply tender, he displayed an immaculate, full-toned technique, an interpretative sense marked by the same marvelous simplicity and restraint that he has succeeded in preserving in his pupil, young Yehudi Menuhin. In Manhattan the Busch name is familiar because of Adolf's brother Fritz (they were the sons of a famed Westphalian violin-maker), who conducted the New York Symphony for a time. In Manhattan next week Violinist Busch will be given an enviable debut.* Conductor Arturo Toscanini...
Galleryman Joseph Brummer is only obliquely a promoter of modern art. His business is purveying, to the very rich, old masters, antique statuary, tapestries and furniture. But hoarse-voiced M.

Protege of Banker Otto Hermann Kahn and of Lieut. Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New York, pupil of the late great Leopold Auer, he was given his violin by Philanthropist August Heckscher. He was to play on it at his Carnegie Hall debut in January. As Violinist Braun crossed Fifth Avenue a truck came lumbering along. He dodged. The violin case slithered from under his arm, landed squarely in the truck's path...
...first and most necessary tasks which must be accomplished. Excellent work on the part of a tutor should certainly be counted heavily in his favor when his promotion is considered. It is hardly necessary to state that a personable tutor, one who has the ability to interest his individual pupil, will develop into a more human, more understanding professor, than a young Ph.D. who has advanced to the stage of an occasional lecturer, but who cares only for his own scholastic advancement. Too much emphasis can never be laid on the necessity of securing more first-rate...
