...much publicity. Two months ago General Andrews gave orders that if the name of Izzy Einstein or Moe Smith appeared once in print, they would be fired. For two months their exploits have been hidden from the public eye. The public which looked upon them with as much delight as ever it looked on Robin Hood was denied their adventures-adventures as thrilling as those of Sir Launcelot, as those of Richard Coeur de Lion, as those of Don Quixote de la Mancha...

So, occasionally, some child will, through environment or training or whatnot, concoct verses to delight the critics. But critics are often guileless, often glad to enjoy novelty. The maternal conscience should keep more awake. For, after all, few poets of eleven can at thirty survive the reading of their earliest verse. If they can they are not poets...
