Another London editor is John St. Loe Strachey (not to be confused with Giles Lytton Strachey, author of Queen Victoria, etc.) Mr. Strachey is a son of Sir Edward Strachey. He was graduated from Oxford before entering journalism. He has been editor of The Cornhill Magazine (founded by Thackeray), and at present is editor of The Spectator (London). In politics he is a Conservative. There is no danger of his being ousted from his post; he is proprietor as well as editor of his paper...
When Mr. Massingham was deposed from his liberal throne in The Nation, a cry of protest went up from the liberal press - not only in England but in this country. Mr. Strachey, a Conservative in politics but a liberal in journalism, then did an unusual and highly creditable thing - he engaged Mr. Massingham to write for The Spectator.

Honor where honor is due--and no one will deny it to these loyal nurses. The literature of the South, from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" down, is full of reverence for their services. Famous nurses are plentiful in literary annals: Stevenson's "Cummic" has been immortalized; Lytton Strachey credits an odd individual, Mrs. Salome Leaker, with a vigorous part in his up-bringing; Barrle was intimately aware of the merits of nurse-maids--but even his affectionate "Nana" could hardly find place beside the loyal Southern mammies. Their bed-time stories compare as literature to the legendary fantasy of Ireland...
...paper by Havelock Ellis, on "The Ancestry of Genius;" "Persian Poetry." by Sir Edward Strachey; and the extremely picturesque and pathetic sketch of the life of a Japanese dancing girl, written by Lafcadio Hearn, complete the more notable contents of the number. A paper on "Words," by Agnes Repplier, however, should not be forgotten by those who have enjoyed this clever woman's essays in past numbers of the magazine...
