The "Post" The passing of the "Morning Post" Is Missed as left Fleet Street the poorer, observes the "New Statesman and Nation." Despite its new proprietor's promise, few features of that gallant defender of lost causes, and still fewer traces of its pungent urbanity, survive. The cumbrously titled "Daily Telegraph and Morning Post" is to all intents and purposes the "Daily Telegraph," product of the safe, competent mediocrity of the Berry Brothers' ramified press combine. In announcing the amalgamation, Lord Camrose emphasized the "independence" of the "Telegraph" and his own dissociation from "any newspaper combine." Dissociation is a word capable of many meanings. Since the reshuffle of share holdings and directorships which took place last January, Lord Camrose personally controls the "Daily Telegraph," "Financial Times" and the serried mass of periodicals published by the Amal-gameted Press; and he is also a director of the "Western Mail," the "Daily Sketch," "Sunday Times," "Sunday Graphic," "Sunday Chronicle," "Empire News" and fourteen provincial dai are controlled by his brother, Lord Hemsley, and by Lord Iliffe, who is a life director of the "Daily Telegraph" and has been closely associated with the Berry Brothers from the early days of their invasion of Fleet Street from South Wales. The triumvirate is intact, even if Share-control has been methodically parcelled out. The "Daily Telegraph," considered as a news sheet is excellent; its professions of detachment from spiritual inhibitions of intimacy with press trustification are not quite convince ing.
Feminine now, I reflected, writes Education Stark in "Time and Tide," more life in the tale of Adonis, known here in its own world. than in ihe teaching of 99 per cent. of headmistresses in 99 per cent. of girls' schools in England; and rb I had been talking to an educationist who was going to a feminist congress in Oxford that very morning, 1 fell to searching for the reasons of this comparative dead ners. Female educa tion. when you come to consider it, is chiefly complicated because it has to provide simultaneously for two completely different modes of life. From the beginning of vanity, whenever that may be, till well into her middle age. a woman requires accomplishments different from—indeed almost opposite to—those which will make her old age happy. Between these con-fioting divisions of her life, her mentors have oscillated since the beginning of time. It is only on Ages of Reason (and how few and unattractive they are) that the same virtues and accom-pushments will carry her right through.
