...found itself embarrassed by the State truancy law. By last week 28 Witnesses of Jehovah had popped up in U. S. public schools. In Lynn aging Cora Foster, who had taught in local schools for 40 years, faced dismissal after confessing that she, too, was a Witness. In nearby Saugus seven young Witnesses were expelled. In Weymouth high school Witnesses Charles & Harold Newcomb, who claim to be descendants of Betsy Ross, staged a sympathy strike against "the Devil's emblem." In Norwalk.

This series of Saugus cheers which have greeted the publication of many of the more serious works during the last few months seem to be indicative of a subconscious feeling in literary circles that the American reading public is in danger of developing a psychopathic personality on a large scale.
