Chicago's mammoth public school system hires 13,000 teachers, educates 460,000 pupils at a yearly cost of $71,000,000. Few U. S. educators, however, feel any strong urge to rule it. Peppery, fox-bearded Superintendent William McAndrew (1924-28), born in Ypsilanti, Mich., was constantly bedeviled as a "stool pigeon of King George" by Mayor William Hale ("Big Bill'') Thompson's "America First" campaign.

Ypsilanti lay festering in Metternich's Austrian oubliette, but to Byron's sanguine hope the prospect was bright. George Gordon, Lord Byron, and the Hetairia Philike, that secret sodality of Hellenic patriots, should make Greece free...
James Melton is first tenor of the Revelers, greatest money-making male quartet. He is not one of the original Revelers. Only two are: Lewis James, the quartet's genial second tenor who comes from Ypsilanti, Mich., is good enough to solo some times with Manhattan's Philharmonic; Wilfred Glenn, square-set, sandy-haired bass who grew up on a Mexican ranch. Pianist Frank Black joined the Revelers in 1925, started making the smooth arrange ments which make Revelers sound better than other male quartets.
