however, has been a more unusual
one still, that of a student trying
to keep up with her children's col
lege record, as we'll as that of a
parent coping with very similar
academic problems.
Believing that teaching is one of
the greatest professions in the world
and that the wise, scientific guild
ance of our young people is one of
the greatest educational challenges
of our time, Mrs. Murdock is CEN
tering her present university and
research activities in this field. In
connection with her graduate semi
mars at George Washington Uni
versity she spends many hours of
research at the Library of Congress,
near which she and Representative
Murdock make their home at the
Methodist Building.
Another of Mrs. Murdock's pro-
found beliefs is her growing convic-
ton as to the inspiration that WASH
ington, as the center Of government,
can be in the lives of its citizens,
particularly its high school boys and
girls.
To emphasize this phase of WASH

Republic and the homely philosophy
of the 'Old Clipping Chest" as her
radio series is known, have wide
following in the far-Western part of

was such a delightful broadcast Sunday night,
with Eddie Cantor, Norma Shearer, Bob Hope,
