...engineering. The authorities declare that it makes no difference whether the engine is an antique steam affair or the latest turbine, because the laws of steam do not change. These two concepts, one theoretical and the other practical, can hardly be reconciled. If the Engineering School is to teach the fundamentals of metallurgy there is no need for investigating the latest device for molding guns. If it is to be a trade school the engines are hopelessly obsolete. But if there is to be a balance between theory and practice, there is no solution but to improve the equipment...
...live in a State (one of many) in which college graduates with a love for little children and a talent for handling them are deliberately forced out of the teaching profession in favor of graduates of the State Normal School because, if you please, they have not learned how to teach by means of an all-important and all-embracing subject called, appropriately, Education.

When Lotte Lehmann's singing days are done she will get a pension from the proud Vienna Opera where she is a Member of Honor. By the time she sailed for Europe this week many a hard-to-please New Yorker was convinced that hers...
...faith as well as an ascription of praise. It is also possible to have other lofty New Testament hymns such as the 'Magnificat' and the 'Gloria in Excelsis' sung by the entire congregation after some training. . . . The aim is not entertainment but worship: to teach hymns in which men hear the voice of the Eternal; hymns that awaken the spirit of 'wonder, love and praise'; that . . . drive out weak, shoddy, self-centered songs that too often are mere piffle...
