The Season of Calendars in 1950
A reflection on the annual calendar as a year starts and ends its cycle. The piece notes calendars are distributed, advertisers use them to show wares, and a few select designs become keepsakes. It muses on time, months, and the idea of changing calendars in the future.
A Suggestion for Holiday Gift Subscriptions
The piece recommends giving magazine or home town newspaper subscriptions as gifts. It highlights lasting value with weekly or monthly issues and the personal touch of receiving a paper from one’s own locality, especially for distant friends who care about home news. It argues such gifts sustain interest and friendship year round.

New Examination Methods in Public Schools
The article argues for shifting from annual exams to judging students on a year or quarter's work. It urges moving beyond tradition, noting exams cause stress and unfair outcomes. Educational authorities support research driven methods while preserving core teaching fundamentals for future progress.
What Price Television Should replace broadcasting with vision and sound
The piece ponders television's rise and its impact on radio. It compares early radio adoption and pricing with television's slower integration into daily life and questions whether recorded broadcasts will dominate as living performances fade. It foresees secondhand radio sets selling cheaply as TV takes over.
