...conditions: and that even if they made a great variety of formulae there are other factors such as temperature and acid-alkali balance which must be thoroughly studied for successful hydroponics. Also, in his kindly if eccentric way,, he accuses them of victimizing "poor people" by selling chemicals worth a few cents at fancy prices ranging from...
...regions by which the art map has been enlarged are geographic-Chinese, Japanese and Indian art; and temporal- the prehistoric art of the cave dwellers, the Sumerians, Hittites, Assyrians, Egyptians. These Author Cheney illuminates at length, scrupulously giving facts, interpretation and speculation for what they are worth. In this perspective, European art and artists assume new proportions and come under new categories. Reasons appear for praising El Greco more than Botticelli and Raphael.

...department store, last year founded the New Friends of Music. Its purpose: to give Manhattanites the very best in chamber music, played by the very best artists (TIME, Nov. 16).

S. with enough coffee for a couple of baths apiece...
With the centennial of Horace Mann at hand it is worth the University's while not only to examine the Graduate School of Education, which Mann would have recognized as perhaps the American leader in its field, but to suggest possible ways of improving it. Since 1891, when Paul Hanus came to Harvard, Education has been abused and opposed by professors not anxious to have their methods or ideas of teaching criticized and indirectly discarded. Like a talented child who alone knows the weakness of his parent, the School has been suppressed by the minds of the college Faculty...
