President Coolidge's message to the new Congress contained an allusion to the proposed Department which is not altogether explicit as to the point just raised. It is interesting, however, as indicating how important the main issue has become, and it is specific enough in regard to the availability of Federal funds-funds being always the first and last question in education. Said the President: "Having in mind that education is peculiarly a local problem and that it should always be pursued with the largest freedom of choice by students and parents, nevertheless the Federal Government might well give...
American Literature, writes this very modern Englishman, like the Russian has come to a real verge.

THE GOD OF VENGEANCE-The daughter of the keeper of a brothel succumbs to her environment in a powerfully explicit scene with a Lesbian. Rudolph Schildkraut gives a poignant performance as the agonized father. The producers and cast have been indicted because of its alleged immortality. MERTON OF THE MOVIES-Through no will of his own, a movie-struck youth becomes a film comedian. The process is attended...
