...plays about Negroes have been two grades above the minstrel stage-the cork is missing, but the spirit is there." Many of the company, including Actress Simms, have been at universities but never on Broadway. Most of them are war workers who have kept the A.N.T. alive with a slice of their earnings. Last April, however, the Theater was saved from shoestringing along for a while by a $9,500 grant from the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation...

...commercial publishers, retooled by Army pedagogues and writers. Teacher-value is got into the books by simplifying language, adding helpful illustrations, frequent summaries, true & false tests. A physics self-teacher tells how to study gas diffusion without a laboratory: if a piece of cheese is boxed with a slice of raw onion for an hour or so, one bite of the cheese will show that gas gets around...
