...minds, to write simply. He is absolutely right in what he says, but he should strive to put the spirit which carries conviction into his words. Of Battery A. Mr. Chandler '14 has given us an enlightening account. He has succeeded not by the use of well-written English, but by that very spirit of interest which Mr. Potter lacked. "Harvard Men in American Painting" does no little credit to C. H. Smith '15 for the material which he has collected.

The confrontation of the socialist strike-leader and the pitiless manufacturer yields little dramatic novelty, but it is amazingly well done. Its being a play "with a purpose" gives it boldness, unity, and sincerity, without detracting in the least from its vividness. Joe Patterson, the strike-leader, impelled by want to attempt burglary, is surprised and captured by the manufacturer, whose house he has entered. There follows a scene in which the strike-leader, having unmasked himself, gives voice to the wrongs...
