A fiery tract defends female teachers over thirty against Doctor Calvin A. Scott of the Boston Normal School. It extols mature educators as most capable, devoted, and essential, arguing marriage is not a measure of worth and praising women who dedicate their lives to children and learning. The piece condemns Scott as foolish and urges respect for seasoned teachers while critiquing male aging and bias.
An account recounted by Octave Mirbeau in American Magazine describes the German emperor’s outrage at Berlin’s Schlossplatz fountain donation. He denounced it as socialist plot, threatened to deploy troops, and dismissed the ceremony as ridiculous, leaving officials stunned. The episode, though vivid, did not widely circulate in Germany.
Tom L. Johnson argues for a land value tax as the honest tax to liberate labor, curb monopoly, and raise wages. He links land value to public value, warns that taxing rent boosts employment, and links poverty to poverty not drunkenness. He cites Henry George and urges a simple scientific tax system to end land monopolies.
