Writinc to the correspondence columns of this journal an architect remarks:
If one picks up any local Directory and looks for the names of folly qualified architects from any recognized body such as those mentioned, out of nearly 100 listed as "architects," the result is infinitesimal, During such a search, one will find the names of many contractors, land companies, and until recoatly, thg name of a local firm of haberdashers!
Lawd lumine, that's nothing! The number of men who fail as grocers' assistants and take up journalism is really astonishing, How Nize!
From a news report:—
"Mr. Theodore Herman, of the Shanghai American School will propose the topic "That Creative Ability has been dulled by the Cinema and the Radio."
We don't know so much about the cinema, but judging from some of the tripe that has been exhaled over one or two of the local radio stations we should say that the creative ability has received a strong and altogether fantastic stimulus,—except, of course, when resort is had to the columns of this paper.
