This statement was held to mean that Russia would have nothing to do with countries denying recognition. In answer to queries about the U. S. and France, the Deputy Foreign Minister added: "Of course, this doesn't mean that we decline to follow the British precedent of de facto recognition, with a trade agreement, in the case of such countries as hitherto have abstained from any sort of relations with Russia what-soever...
Thus far, the path of the critic has been smooth. But the question, what uniform basis can be employed, is not easy to answer. For most subjects, however, the absolute, standard can be eliminated at once--it is utterly inapplicable. This leaves only the relative grading--which is equally inapplicable to such courses as mathematics, where an absolute rating is not only possible but imperative. And even in the other courses, a relative grade-curve has ineradicable defects. The Freshmen, for example are required to have three C's and one D to avoid probation; if they chance...
...competition which the Advocate is running is directed against a certain class of people only because they hold conscientious opinions.

...often asks: "How do authors collect dialect expressions?" The answer is, I think, usually, that they don't. Ernest Poole once told me that now that the saloon had vanished as a place in which to overhear conversations, the bus top was the ideal place for garnering a store of epithets, tender and vituperative. That may be; but I am practically certain that with John Weaver it is largely a question of things heard on the run, of the seeping in of idiom, of a certain eager understanding of the way the ordinary mind works. I doubt the accuracy...
