...Another defect is that our education has too often meant conformity to an accepted pattern rather than release of energy in construction...
...York Graphic in its best moments is perhaps more amusing than Mr. Enwright's contribution to journalism. But after all there is only one Bernarr McFadden and those who pattern their wares on his must be content with minor laurels. The Telegram certainly will have its public, for even a constant perusal of the Advertiser occasionally fails to appease the public's taste for the elemental, the passionate primitive. Mr. Enwright is to be complimented on the success with which he has composed and executed his sheet without falling back on the usual resources of the journalist, news...
...Manhattan (at the Art Centre show) silk dress fabric taking as motifs jazz bands, Fifth Avenue crowds, ticker tape, rollercoasters, etc. In similar designs are printed linens and other fabrics for drawing-room hangings.

But the construction of her theme, the way in which their mercurial doings are played against the less irregular pattern of the Frobishers outweighs and hides their unreality. The glow of "red sky at morning, shepherds' warning," pervades the pages of the book, rising to a sultry heat at noon, and sinking to the destined thunderstorm at the end of the short astonishing day. Never attaining the complete objectivity...
