...Birkenhead dined, naturally at one of the great hotels-the same in which George Bernard Shaw stopped when he visited Madeira, two winters ago. There the dancing master who taught Mr. Shaw to tango has on display his photograph with the smug inscription: "To the only man who could teach me anything. (Signed) G. B. S." Strolling in to dinner Lord Birkenhead examined the photograph, allowed his lip to curl at the Irish red-head's boast. Drawing his pen he wrote below the Shavian autograph, "Could Birkenhead teach you no law?" then added, "Do let us have...
...singing at a festival and made the first payment on the site of her present Bethune-Cookman College, at that time a dump-pile. Her girls cleared away the rubbish to give the-workmen room.

...highly dangerous. The ideal of a general education is admittedly a secondary consideration. The institution is little more than a training school for the Ford factory. That children should be taught a certain amount of manual training is a very good thing as there are few better ways to teach good physical coordination. However, that children should spend their school days with a factory ever looming in the background will seem open to question. If New England follows the lead of her auto educator she will develop an educational system much like the one existing on the continent of Europe...
