...more gradual and effective by the developments just described, it would be folly to assume that all of the difficulties have been solved or that readjustments of machinery and methods are alone sufficient. It is necessary that the schools and colleges give further thought to the subject. On the point of the college it is necessary that the quality of instruction of beginning classes be still further improved by the use of a large number of experienced teachers, and that instructors be encouraged to take a sympathetic attitude toward the men during the first six weeks...
...high time to call a halt to this contemplation of Cambridge's rapid architectural metamorphosis and settle down to the duties of the coming year. With lectures to begin Wednesday there is no time to lose, for just around the corner lurk the wheels of knowledge just on the point of starting their nine month's grind...
Just now England is on the point of "rationalizing" her steel industry under the fiscal aegis of her great banks and with the technical assistance of a U. S. steelman. (See p. 43.) All such developments were attacked by Mr. Bevin as tending to replace men by machines, reduce the number of jobs, increase unemployment.

Radio and Its Future says that of 28,000,000 homes, 60,000 had radios eight years ago, more than 10,000,000 have them at present. This compares to 18,000,000 homes with passenger automobiles, 13,000,000 with phonographs. Giving consideration to homes with obsolete sets, 22,000,000 more can be sold before every home has a radio. Some homes will have two radios; restaurants and hotels are markets...
