...Supreme Court has not joined the ranks of "100 per cent Americanism". The Nebraska law, with its counterparts in Iowa and Ohio, which forbids the teaching or use of any language other than English in the lower grades, has been declared unconstitutional.

Coming from behind with a terrific rush, the sapient Scholars continued their baseball triumphs yesterday and frazzled the Funny Fellows to the tune oft 12 to o 10.

One of these gentlemen has for some years had a professional income of pound15,000 per annum, and the other holds a judicial appointment; and yet neither, according to the sapient decision of an examination, could be trusted to conduct a case...
