...benefits the place in which he works. For many graduates the process of translating education into practical terms, which makes it useful to society, can be most wisely done in their home community. It is ideal that when ready to enter the business world, the graduate turn home rather than to some new community.

Stories are accumulated either on the Semagraph code copy or on the Teletypesetter tape...

While 88% feel that no overseas war is justified, 64% feel that war is justifiable on occasion, but by a quirk of feminine logic 87% regard invasion of the U. S. or its possessions as such an occasion. These opinions appeared this week in another nationwide survey of women conducted by the news-nosy Ladies' Home Journal. Other opinions...
