...thrown out as commissioner of Education on December 19 as the result of the Teachers' Oath Bill controversy, which Dr. Smith did not favor, after a service to the State extending 19 years...
...joker in it. A sequel to her first book, A Stone Came Rolling reintroduces Ishma, the hillbilly Judith; her physical but saintly husband Britt, et al. In tone and texture a kind of reincarnation of the works of Gene Stratton Porter, with Rose O'Neill and Fannie Hurst thrown in, A Stone Came Rolling is a strange mixture of unabashed sentiment and social indignation.

A dash through the billows to a waiting boat is completely Byronesque; the caged women are terrible in their frustration; practically every scene pertaining to the prison is wonderfully grim. In all, the picture is a stimulating bit of exercise for the emotions...
