...there business to compare every phase of American education with the English system which has made the Anglo-Saxon race predominant on every playing field, battle field, and tropical trading post in the world will be hard put to it to draw a moral from the most recent news flash emanating from the Towers of Oxford. Within the week eight hundred products of the traditional college system gathered together at the office of the proctor in answer to a bogus printed notice.

She's like a flash of concentrated lightning. Her social triumphs include New York, Newport, Washington, D. C., where she is a reigning belle in diplomatic circles and St. Louis, the city of her birth. Not only is she more than passing pleasing to the eye, but she dives like an otter, dances like a nymph and has a dramatic talent that would land her on Broadway were...
