Above all, Pottinger's book is valuable in that it will whet the reader's interest to study further in a field which has been largely neglected by the general public. We have become so interested in reading matter that we have ignored the medium through which it is presented. This tendency must be combatted if modern typographical standards are not to decline. If "Printers and Printing" is widely read by students of literature, it will do much to prevent that decline...

From war-tried London have come British criticisms: that U.S. Ordnance does not have enough punch; that the Ordnance Department's ideas of tank armament in even its latest medium tank are already obsolescent; that the Department has refused to go into immediate production of tried foreign models, instead has gone through the tortuous process of originating designs and building and testing models, before tooling for production.

...worked out in detail. The over-all reduction was set at 20.15%, from 5,289,972 new. cars this model year to 4,224,152 next. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, which produce 90% of the nation's autos, agreed to cut their production 21.5% so that their medium-sized competitors would have to cut only 15%, their smallest competitors not at all; thus no company would be forced by quota below the break-even point. It was a good plan, with one failing: it was already obsolete...
...minds of the undergraduates, but so far no constructive changes have been inaugurated to reduce that most oppressive item of all college expenses. Various economizing measures have been studied at length by the Student Council, and the result of their efforts is now being made public through the medium of this poll, which is designed to test the reaction of the undergraduate body to the proposed arbitrary measures of decreasing the board rate...
