For a girl living at home the estimate was $20.70. This was of course pure theory, since the New York laundry industry for which the budget was prepared pays its female help as low as $6 per week and an average of $13.

During her 37-year administration, enrollment has doubled, the faculty quadrupled...
...Unusual among biographies of parents for its combination of tenderness, good judgment and good writing (excellently transmitted in Vincent Sheean's translation), this is an unforgettable first full-length biography of the delicate, blonde Polish girl who rose from a governess to the world's greatest woman scientist. Famed for her hard-won discovery of radium, Madame Curie here emerges as most deserving of fame for her incorruptible stand against cashing in on it. Known for an emotional self-discipline as strict asher public reserve, her response to the accidental death of her husband-collaborator is told...
