...despite these things, there are no such enigmas as scouting problems Contests which draw huge crowds come, not every weekend, but at long intervals like festivals and vacations. They are occasions, not common occurances. Paid coaches, likewise, are rather the exception than the rule. Even a paid coach works largely through the team captain. The captain, being an undergraduate and to other things, only a peer of his subordinates on the team is a much less despotic ruler than the average coach. Where coaches are not paid, those of college teams and sometimes those of university teams also they...
...crime of plump, complacent, witty, dynamic Editor Leon Daudet is "defaming the police." He has defamed almost every high official in France at one time or another in L'Action Francaise, to the huge delight of Parisians; but "defaming the police" serves to cover the merry multitude of his bright sins.

...deriders of Rotary will learn better very soon now. As Rotarian Gardner Mack wrote only this month in the Rotarian, Rotary has "turned the corner." From a little lunch group brought together by a lonely Chicago lawyer, it has become a huge organization "covering 40-odd separate nations and claiming approximately 130,000 members!" It is outgrowing what Rotarian William Allen White calls its "boy complex," its "garish ex-ternals," its "supersentimentalism and noisy infanticism." It is not unembarrassed by members who say Jesus was the original Rotarian and even bridles when admirers say "there must have been something divine...
