...would never have writ ten this book. Authoress Colby is sometimes tiresome, sometimes embarrassing, yet she created Shirley Challoner and the "green forest." The whole point of the book is to delight people who can understand that "Debussy is the wettest music ?passion done in silver point," and similar subtle apperceptions. Yet between subtlety and forced fancy even "understanding" readers will detect many a disheartening difference. The girl's face "banged shut." About babies: "There might be sky-blue ones, or indigo ones, or even some navy-blue ones." Lovers are close for a moment, and the episode calls...

But Mr. Lowell passes over the first problem--that of over-emphasis--with the following laconic reference (specifically to the practice of having inter collegiate games every Saturday of the autumn)--"It tends to disturb seriously the work of education...
...institutions directly available to any future business branch of the Boston Public Library which may be established in the downtown district. Time and again the librarian and trustees of the Boston Public Library have labored to secure decent attention from the Boston City Council for such a branch, similar to the business branches which progressive cities elsewhere throughout the Nation have established. And time and again their efforts have been thrown down, because members of the City Council, have called this "mere graft" for the business community and a "scheme" on the part of the Chamber of Commerce to help...
