...making over the money is an easy matter. The work of translating the money into education calls for careful planning and far-sightedness. By the terms of the gift England has reserved this to herself. The British nature would seem to suggest trade schools. But the Chinese do not desire trade schools. And England, of course, wants British stock to be on a par with American in China. The Manchester Guardian has suggested that the money be devoted to establishing schools in China taught by Chinese teachers, rather than to transplanting batches of Chinese students to English universities...

He is, as you may have guessed, a downtrodden little boy-violinist in search of his long-lost daddy, and oh what a pathetic time he does have! Financially the picture should be a regular rhinestonemine. We suggest as its logical successor Old Curiosity Shop, with Jackie as Little Nell. Prodigal Daughters, Two young daughters of a rich papa decide to Live Their Own Lives, and get into the usual pecks of trouble doing it. But the story fulfills its function in giving Gloria Swanson an opportunity...
