...will not only affect poetry, to what extent no one can say, but it will change human life all over the globe. The hackneyed question as to how it will affect poetry is of little consequence, for the great European struggle will not decide whether we are to write in sonnet form or in vers libre, but will overturn principles and theories that have been adhered to for centuries...
...year Wednesday, April 25. Through the generosity of Mr. Harry Hodgson, of Athens, Ga., this annual prize of $25 is given for the best thesis on some business subject. "The Value of Fertilizers in Increasing Crop Production" has been selected as the subject for the essays, but students may write upon "The Marketing of Cotton-Seed Products (oil or cotton-seed meal)," if they so choose...

Don't you think that some noted high school teacher should re-write such antiquated authors as Bacon, Shakespere, and Ben Jonson, putting them into up-to-date American English and giving them an American code of morality? It is so annoying to have to bother with an old idiom. It is for this reason, too, that a modern writer should tell us all about Rome for he not only is in a better position to judge of the life of the first century A.D. than would be a Pliny the Younger...
