...teachers' oath laws in some twenty states have bombed out of their shelters thousands of such men and women. Led by a few who from the first have realized the dangers implicit in the law, teachers in schools and colleges are mobilizing a belated but sturdy and almost unanimous resistance. And everywhere they have won the support of the students in their institutions and the more sophisticated groups in their communities. The middle class begins to scent trouble...

Unlike So Red the Rose, which contained implicit and explicit criticisms of modern society, the tales in Feliciana are casual and fragmentary, contain only marginal sociological comment. Some times Stark Young seems little more than a leisurely collector of old Southern impressions, exhibiting dissociated bits of conversations, rare historical items, with the polite, after-dinner wit of one displaying...
