Abstract

In the Driftway
May 22, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Perhaps it is because the Drifter does not read the local newspapers with sufficient care, but anyhow he failed to find in them a bit of news which amused him enough so that he is going to pass it on to his readers. Possibly other purposes than the edification of his readers enter into this decision. There is the substantial advantage, for instance, that retelling another fellow's story saves the Drifter the trouble of dragging out an idea of his own. The decision was by popular vote of the audience, and it takes no psychoanalyst to guess that the Yale team won, although by the close vote of 371 to 369.
