...general ignorance and boorishness in Mr. Dowse's unprovoked affront makes it clear that he himself has certainly not yet learned how to read or to write. The admirably condensed style of TIME is lost upon him. He picks upon a few minor objections and uses them to vent his spleen against Americans in general-the commonest form of logical fallacy; generalizing from insufficient data. He is utterly and absolutely wrong in his statements and implications. I have studied the written and spoken language in England and in America for many years, have sold my writings in both countries...
Carnegie Hall rang last week, as it does annually, with college songs as they are never sung at college. One after another the glee clubs of a dozen universities filed out on the stage, dropped their chins, eyed their leader and gave vent, first to a song of their own choice, then to the required piece-"The Lotus Flower," it was this year, by Robert Schumann- and last to what newsgatherers love to call an "alma mater."

Last week the British mint refused to quote prices for minting a new series of Irish Free State coins from which the Irish designers had omitted the head of the King Emperor George V. which appears on all British and Dominion currency. The British...
...gentleman whose face adorns the U. S. Buffalo nickel giving vent to a sudden mood of loquacity which had come over him at the sight of Secretary of the Interior Hubert S. Work. They were met in Lawrence, Kan., last week, where the loquacious Chief Two Guns White Calf had led 26 of his Blackfeet tribesmen from Montana for a polytribal "powwow" at famed Haskell Institute, which had a new football stadium to dedicate.† Secretary Work conversed briefly with Mr. White Calf, then went along to lecture to the students of the University of Kansas, on Mount Oread, overlooking...
