...party to the next Dail with a comfortable surplus of votes; for his narrow escape has alarmed the conservative business element and has shot Irish politics with a keenness it has lacked since the first Free State elections. At present everything points to a big victory for Mr. Cos- grave...
...Story.* "Someone had asked Mary Viner as a child why she so disliked going to school, and had received the pregnant reply: ' 'Cos one does the same thing every day'; and at the age of 23 Mary was still resenting repetition. Only more so, because life had become more busily full of dreary tidyings and cleanlinesses, of washings up and washings down, of moments that smelt of yellow soap, and tea leaves and paraffin...
...elaborate scenery and cos- tumes little need be said, for audiences have come to take all that for granted. The French Revolution scene was unusually effective, with the spot-light focussed on Perry Askan, as the young revolutionist and the dark background filled with waving torches. The human chandelier and living curtain was as an elaborate thing of the kind as we have ever seen...
...talk, Professor Osgood brought out these points: "The trigonometric functions, sin x and cos x, are ordinarily defined by means of a right triangle; thus sin x equals a divided by c, etc. This procedure is natural, since the elementary facts of geometry appeal most strongly to our intuition...
...importance with those of geometry, namely, the phenomena of vibrating systems, of which the pendulum is a familiar example. The simplest type of oscillatory motion is governed by a differential equation of the second order, and two of the solutions of this equation are the functions sin x and cos x. By means of the differential equation the leading properties of these functions can be deduced with ease, and thus the foundations of trigonomemtry are laid...
