At school our masters punished us; when we leave school, if we have not learned to punish ourselves, we have learned nothing. In fact the only danger is that we may value the achievement in itself.

EDITORIAL We do not blame the Editors of these papers for nodding; but we do think they owe us some poetry as good as Homer’s or some erotic adventures to match Jove’s. I had almost forgotten dear old Mathers. Yet it was only last December that a colleague of mine was told by some greasy old harridan, in her best nominal 7° = 4° voice (she has paid hundreds of pounds for that nominal 7°=4°, and never got initiated into any mysteries but those of Over-eating) that Imperrita (?
