It's hard to tell whether her 25 pint-size students are still with her. They have been busy all morning working on language skills, word recognition, counting, sets, days of the week and primary colors, in addition to trying to complete an art project and work on assorted social skills, such as raising one's hand before...

...very well, said Cloud Wampler, chairman of the board of Carrier Corp., but industry must not confuse hard selling with overselling. "Did the sale of more than 7,000,000 motorcars in 1955 help or hurt the American economy?"
