...Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, providing unusual attraction for those interested in the subject, are now on exhibition in the Fogg Art Museum. An exhibition of 32 pieces representing English silversmith's art of the period has just been opened, while a group of American items of the same era has been on exhibition for a week. The Museum also calls attention to the fact that a permanent exhibit of American ware has been in its possession for a long period, and includes some pieces intimately connected with the history of the University...
...experiences of many a small boy (like himself) whose weekly chore before the electric-blower era was to sweat and grunt over the pumphandle in the organ loft. Theirs was the duty, indispensable to organist and choir, of keeping a crude pressure-gauge above the danger mark. On rare occasions, dreadfully unforgettable, the pumper might lag from exhaustion "and wreck a full throated anthem or a shrill soprano solo in the agonized screeches of the high pipes and the guttural grunts of the low ones as the wind suddenly expired."

...great Wall Street novel is Customers' Man by Boyden Sparkes, published last week by Frederick A. Stokes Co. ($1.50).

Customers' Man Robert Loomis had a pleasing personality...
...Butler's statement that only a few persons--"a very small minority"--continue to grow intellectually after reaching the age of 23 or 24, and that there are few whose intellectual and spiritual velocity still rises at 40, suggests the need of such a gospel, especially in this new era of increased leisure for all. Maeterlinek is quoted as saying that on the way in which these increased hours of freedom are spent may depend the whole destiny of man. And one may not, in the face of the results of Dr. Thorndike's researches into the adult's ability...
...Washington Street, James W. Scott and William D. Eaton founded the Chicago Herald. But the Hearst Herald & Examiner celebrated its Golden Anniversary last week with ten times the Free Press's fanfare. The celebration happily coincided with an All Chicago Jubilee to celebrate the city's political "new era." At times it was difficult to discern where the Herald & Examiner's demonstration stopped and the city's jubilee began; the result was a pleasing impression that all of Chicago was agog over the newspaper's birthday...
