Gambling on Calcutta Pools Sways Britannic Passengers
On the Britannic the Calcutta Pools for predicting daily mileages drew many aboard. Louis H. Lorillard lost 2000 dollars and actor Curtis 1500, with bets tied to the number 380, which turned up as the winning number in four pools. A high-stakes auction process determined numbers and payouts amid sailing miles.

It urges education to emphasize English over mere classical studies and notes examples from periodicals and public notices.
