...drives that dominate Sloan and Kettering are essentially different from Stagg's. Neither automan has ever been interested in reforming the world in conventional do-gooder style. Both have displayed a knack (which indicates at least a strong unconscious urge) for moneymaking, whereas Stagg, though usually underpaid, has turned down fortunes offered by Hollywood. Yet both Sloan and Kettering have turned, in advanced years, to philanthropy of a highly practical sort: the two are forever commemorated in Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, research arm of Memorial Center for Cancer and Allied Diseases (TIME, June 27, 1949). Individually, each...
...still attractive heroine of this excellent novel by the wife of an Italian diplomat. "Mamma" Cossati is an intimidated, tradition-bound Roman housewife. She is intent on one thing: to maintain a perfect reputation for hard work and for saintly devotion to her family and her gentle husband, an underpaid bank official. Yet her problems cannot be dismissed as resulting merely from poverty and Old World attitudes about a woman's place. When she dreams guiltily of "leaving the dishes in the sink, the laundry unwashed, the beds unmade." or when she tries on a new lace slip...
...unfortunately. For the inadequacies of present-day education, where uninspired, underpaid teachers and administrators are willing to go along with any convenient, easy, well-tried program, demand that some sort of watchdog eye be placed on the schools, to insure that the best possible education can be achieved.

The new--as one authors calls the "life-centered"--approach to education demands the interaction of the student with the community, effected through school...
...great morass--the American "Leveling" Philosophy, the equating of equal opportunity with "sameness"--came Herschell Podge. His teachers were underpaid, and his school turned most of its limited funds into a complex hierarchy of extra-curricular activities, the financing of a football team and rereleased motion picture entertainment for lunch period ennui. If Herschell were a colored boy, he wouldn't get decent school facilities in a good many sections of the South. If Herschell came from a Plains state, his high school probably couldn't offer a course in physics...
Class also brought fresh impact to its sidelight on the plight of the teacher who is so underpaid that he must find an extra job. In a faculty bull session one teacher remarked to a colleague: "Somebody told me at one time you were pumping gas and one of your students came in and asked for a tankful. How did you feel about it?" The reply: "Well, that doesn't happen very often, but it does bother you. I mean, they want you to wash the windowshield and check the oil-things like that. They give you the full...
