The Medfield State Hospital superintendent rightly fired Miss Jane Bosfield for insubordination, but the underlying cause was race prejudice.

The proper move would have been to confront prejudice at once, offering resignations to objecting workers while allowing Bosfield to dine in the main room.
The victory under Grand Duke Nicholas at Erzerum gives the Allies their first real optimistic turn in a year.
