Mr. Pichel's story about "Miss Clearwater's Morals" threatens to lead us into the literary red-light district, but turns out to be only a clever conversational sketch, strained and obscure in places, but entertaining throughout. Mr. Nathan, in going from drama to verse, leaves sex subjects and gives us poetry of real descriptive power and contageous feeling. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Selders both contribution sensible articles of protest: Mr. Skinner against the misleading rhetoric of those who preach "progress" and care not whether they are progressing...

In the northern district are Eskimos, while in the interior regions are some tribes of Indians in a primitive state of civilization. The majority of the population is composed of English, Scotch, and Irish who have become illiterate and isolated in the course of the last three hundred years.
