Defects in reading may result form wrong habits established in early years and may prevent the attainment of normal speed in reading throughout life. Slow reading is a tremendous handicap in study at every level. The work already done in this subject at the Graduate School of Education promises to lay bare the causes of difficulty in reading and provide meant for at least a partial correction...

Public confidence was helped when the Stock Exchange requested its members to report details on all sales and short stock, a privilege not used since the War. Although there is of course no legal wrong in selling short, few big operators would care to be exposed as "raiding the market," especially in a period when a decline might carry along U.
