English 22 is unfortunately one of those composition courses whose slogan is "you get out of this what you put in." The rudiments of literary creation are not induced into raw Freshmen and Sophomores by a brief judgment scrawled below the mark on the back of a weekly theme, nor even in the tri-weekly 20-minute conference. In these conferences, as in the readings of themes during the lectures hours, the criticism is mostly on the subject matter and plot, and little on the technique of the writer. This is satisfactory for students aiming at earning a living writing...

The skin cells take root, seedlike, in the moist raw surface, absorb nutriment, proliferate. In a short time the islands of growing skin touch each other, merge and make a sightly new skin. Dr. Hermann finds that which way the skin flakes fall does not matter. Like plant seeds they orient...
...hops were used for other than brewing in pre-Prohibition days. Assuming that this amount still holds, then the beer business may be said to be already operating at about 45% of its pre-Prohibition capacity. If it is going to operate at 50% the demand for raw materials for brewing should increase only about 10% over last year: 2,000,000 Ib. more hops, 3,000,000 bu. more barley, 800,000 bu. more corn. Hardly a pinch in a peck of U. S. grain production. The big new grain consumption will come only after beer production exceeds...
