...letter last month identifying him as WPA Worker No. 4426-38632 and assigning him to work on a local road project. His parents, on relief, did nothing about it; obviously it was a clerical error. When Richard received another letter, firing him from the job for failure to report, his brother Albert, 20, went to WPA headquarters, explained that Richard, aged 7, was in the second grade. WPA headquarters then cut the Malone family off relief. At length Brother Albert got himself certified as the "priority worker" of the family and was awarded the job originally assigned to Richard...

A luxury which disappeared almost at once was seltzer water, in great demand by the army to quench officers' thirst in the heat of August...
...that comes as close as any body to speaking for the nation's educators as a whole, formally condemned the 8-4 plan, recommended 6-4-4 as a design for U. S. public education. The group was the National Education Association's Educational Policies Commission. The report* was written by fat-jowled. conservative Professor George Drayton Strayer of Columbia's Teachers College. Prime argument for this plan, which has long been championed by University of Chicago's President Robert Maynard Hutchins, is economic: it neatly disposes of the generation of youths between...
