Bradley Martin, heir to old New York aristocracy, argues in the January magazine that flappers are changing society for the better. He notes women are more honest about their feelings than mothers or grandmothers, calls the flapper a forward step for a generation, and contrasts prewar pretenses with postwar honesty. He cites scandals and divorces as a prewar problem and predicts fewer separations as courtship norms evolve.

The rats eventually learned safe paths, and the students recommended giving the educated, tame animals away as gifts.
