...probable result. But we again return to the old cry of delay, both at the beginning and in calling events. The custom pursued in the Technology meetings of calling each event at a stipulated time despite possible absences, might not result in a satisfactory solution of the problem, but there is little doubt that sharper, more interesting work would be elicited by this plan.

A ministry of but a few months' life has fallen; the incoming ministry promises to last but little longer. It seems as if the question of Home Rule must now be settled. The Irish are resolute and under able leaders. The English are in a quandary. Plucky Greece is asserting some of her old time independence.
