Some 50 members of th Metropolitan New York Railway led by Herbert J. Frank spent hours in a chartered trolley. They focused their cameras on every conceivable angle of the Subway and had the car stopped several times to allow a better perspective for their picture-taking. Students, historians, retired RTC employes, a few who had "nothing better to do" and hordes of youngsters comprised most of the traffic which kept Subway Superintendent George Cassidy, busy from morn to night. There were even a few regular riders, Cassidy noted.

youngster can learn any subject, he can learn the "new math." ATH, HE SAYS, has been given a bad name by us parents. Actually, he says, it needs "the least amount of social experience of any academic subject." In math, the tenant farmer's and the professor's sons are on a par. In English, reading, geography, the professor's son may have the advantage of more background, a better vocabulary, etc. Moreover, math can be the most intellectually stimulating subject and the most creative, says Beberman, and as exciting as football. But it suffers from the fact of its "cutting edge to finance pay raises for city employes and teachers, for whom new pay schedules also said the day was a "thrilling one."
