...general, the term is used to denote something distinct from a command of the tools of one's trade. The lawyer, for example, or the physician, or the engineer, may have a complete mastery of all the technical learning of his profession without possessing culture.

As a matter of fact, no one was injured in any way, no one "needed a physician's attention," no one was "battered into submission"--in short the whole story was an exaggeration which would be passed by as ludicrous if it did not create a false impression in the minds of some of the paper's readers. A policy of verification of news from such sources would...
