There seems to be wide-spread feeling about the present policy of inflicting a serious penalty for "cutting" immediately before and after a vacation.

Of this interest the current Monthly is primarily an expression. It contains three essays on matters connected with contemporary drama: a criticism of Mr. W. V.
