...whole of goodness concealed in its own closets, and which reads Rabelais's Theleme injunction wrenched from its context. The philosophy of humanism is essentially and necessarily dualistic, and is continuous with the best expressions of that philosophy in history; with Aristotle and with scholasticism and, today, with neo-scholasticism without, however, giving to any of these systems a monopoly of the humanistic principle. Almost paradoxically, but logically enough, it is not too sympathetic with the Cartesian dualism; a separation so violent that all succeeding philosophic innovators fell to one side or the other to naturalism or to idealism...

Parents could be thankful that the shock did not hit until late afternoon. Gimcrackery in the prevailing neo-Gothic style fell in cruel heaps, would have mangled children trying to escape...
...Arnold Genthe, Director Alon Bement of the National Alliance of Art & Industry. No awards were ever more welcome; most of the seven prize-winners bitterly needed the money. The $150 Robert C. Ogden prize for the "most outstanding" work went to Sargent Claude Johnson of Berkeley, Calif, for two neo-Mexican colored drawings and a porcelain figure of a praying child with a fine Persian green glaze. Artist Johnson is an old hand at Harmon honors, has won two others...
