...delight to be a critic of a "Critique" when one can concur so heartily with Mr. Emerson. The realistic photograph, holding the mirror up to Main Street life, may be useful and instructive, but for those of us who understand that the primary function of literature is to please, a return from a personification of the average and the ordinary as characters to the standards of the old teachers will be welcomed indeed.

If men progress mentally, culturally, and spiritually, then I am convinced we have left far behind the stage when human pleasure increases directly with the increase of the anguish of his fellow...
Doubtless some will object to its celebration on such short notice, but entertainments, if held at all in such times, should be of an informal nature. Nor can I concur in the objection of some against all forms of entertainment, when such a day makes a fitting pause between academic study and military training.
