The sense of dislocation and implacable graphic firmness this involved, in works like The Dream, 1921, was surpassed by no other artist. The amputee on a ladder with the fish slung round his neck, the war veteran blowing his tin trumpet, the catatonic blond girl--in their mingled density and strangeness, they seem like quotations from some permanent layer of German consciousness.

Zale, the jewelry-store chain, last April opened a modernistic, low-slung $300,000 center at its Irving, Texas, headquarters in which a staff of eleven oversees up to 85 children from six weeks to six years of age. At the Matthews, N.C., headquarters of PCA International, an operator of portrait galleries, about 120 children attend a center that costs the company more than $130,000 a year to operate...
