...mechanics of its narration. In the first place, the style is not wholly suited to it and the insertion in the wrong places of such asides as "Pass the matches" and "please, the matches" irritates the reader beyond words. O. Henry might have told the story in such a manner and still have been effective; Mr. Rogers' ear is not yet quite sensitive enough to get the effect he so obviously tries...

He affects peculiarities of dress and manner, . . . wants to be seen and heard, whereas the successful man of the world moves about inconspicuously. He is still the center of his own world.

The contest between these two should be close and interesting, though Kernan is the more finished player...

Investigation of methods of interpreting fundamental business statistics, with a view to ascertaining whether it was possible to treat such statistics in a manner that would make them more valuable both for business and scientific purposes, was the first field undertaken. To conduct this investigation the committee engaged Professor Persons, formerly of Dartmouth and Colorado Colleges, who in 1917 served as Lecturer in Economics at the University. He was also the author of many scientific papers dealing with business statistics in a new manner...
