...strange exotic plants, emerald, gold and scarlet, are bought across the seas for a brief blossoming. For 20 years American producing gardeners have been transplanting color, sound and movement - so great the volume of business that the original beds are wearing thin and weedy. Still, some of the imported seed has fallen into good ground and blossomed as permanent pictures on the American mind. We no longer think of Russia in terms of Cossacks, but in terms of wooden soldiers; Balieff is mightier than Lenin; and any American will give his oath that the Moscow artists are far more impressive...

...dispelled. Whenever some hardy spirit tries to plant one in CRIMSON'S fertile rows, a savage hand plucks the puny thing from the ground, and holds it up for all to see. No illusions are left for us concerning the "Tutoring School". Swarms of indignant Philistines tore that feeble seed from its mother earth. So is France forced from a position of righteous indignation to that of vindication only by success. And now poor Custer! "This was the most unkindest cut of all," for, did he not have scores of years behind him? Knowledge is pleasant, but how much more...
