Coach Stewart's team, however, showed that an undefeated rival meant little when it topped St. John's School on Monday. Puffer will probably be on the mound this afternoon and the line-up will be the same...
...refuse to allow American's entry into the war to be debated and to demand that "unadulterated and undiluted American history" be taught in American schools, as opposed to the emasculated history has been introduced no generally... robbing democracy of its most precious heritage."

It is a forthright specimen of sturdy naturalism?if by that is meant that when differences arise with one's fellows the obvious thing to do is to tap the offender over the head with an iron stave instead of becoming involved in pages of metaphysical argument. There is such a breezy directness about these murderers, such an innocuous naivete about their mental...
