...being given a try-out at right half. He is a fast and an able back, and with a little more weight would be valuable. At fullback, Mason will play in place of Apollonio, who is out of the game temporarily with a slight injury. For the old style, line-plunging game, Mason makes an excellent fullback, his strength, weight, and hard-fighting qualities all counting in his favor...
...exceptional maturity of style and thought which marked much of the writing in the Monthly last session is notably absent from the present issue. Perhaps it is hardly fair to look for it in a first number, but it is clear that hard work as well as experience will be required before the new board can hope to reach the level maintained by Mr. Hagedorn and his associates.

The atmosphere is admirably reproduced by a few telling lines and the children are treated with something of that realism and sympathetic humor which one remembers in the street scenes of Marie Bashkirtseff. Finally the style, which is unmannered, has charming personal quality. The piece is characterized throughout by vitality and truth. "The Bravery of Terrence" by Mr. John L. Warren is the best told of the stories. It relates an amusing point of view, which is unusually well realized and sustained. It is distinguished from the other...
