The move fills currency gaps from bank retirements, though the White House and Treasury oppose it and a veto is expected if the amendment remains. The bill moves to the House for concurrence amid likely House opposition from silver advocates.

Sara Crewe as a wholesome child companion in fiction
A critical note praises Frances Hodgson Burnett's Sara Crewe as a character driven tale. It contrasts it with adventure stories and Little Women, Tom Brown at Rugby, and Little Lord Fauntleroy, arguing Sara Crewe engages readers through her virtues and sacrifices rather than mere fortune. The review notes the book's appeal lies in loving the heroine for herself and not her sudden ascent.

It contrasts Morris's lyric poetry with Norse poetry, arguing Greek myths dominated early training and that Homer set a standard. It concludes with a cautious defense of Northern sagas alongside classical works.
