Please cancel my subscription to your magazine as I haven't time to read such trashy criticisms as I have seen in your paper, especially on religion. Also, your article on the imperial conference. I am a Roman Catholic and a Canadian and a believer in international unity...
...Sarah Lawrence College would open in 1928 for some 250 young ladies. To make them appreciate their opportunities, tuition would be $1,500 per annum (no expenses to be borne by endowment).

ANGEL-Du Bose Heyward- Doran ($2). Liquor, religion and love all come hard in the Great Smokies.

What with the Methodist-Episcopal Church, through its board of temperance and public morals, redeclaring war on intemperance (see p. 10); what with religionists evading injunctions against the teaching of religion in public schools, by obtaining rules to release pupils from school in order that they may attend Bible classes elsewhere but on school time; and what with new anti-Evolution bills coming up in Arkansas and other state legislatureshow far the Fundamentalist determination to reform the country extends. News from Atlanta, Ga., contained a hint of notable latitude. There the loudest speaker of all Fundamentaldom, Dr. John Roach Straton...
