This page combines editorial commentary with satirical cartoons. The main cartoon titled "A 'PHYSICAL' DEDUCTION" depicts a figure at an airfield with various contraptions and luggage, apparently illustrating someone who has misunderstood instructions about carrying "heavy roles" (likely a pun on theatrical roles versus physical weight). The satirical point mocks confusion between dramatic training and practical absurdity. The editorial sections address contemporary issues: Mayor Tom L. Johnson's street railway business interests, theatrical advertising practices, and ecclesiastical advertisements in newspapers featuring outdated sermon titles. Another note critiques the "Yellow Peril" trope regarding Chinese immigration and European commercial competition. The "Children's Heads" section satirizes educators' theories about children's learning capacity, suggesting their explanations are overly complex jargon masking simple concepts.

JOHNSON of Cleveland, Ohio, denies the reports of his business interest in street railways, which reports he says “in time will become ridiculous.” We hope the same can't be said of Tom's polit- ical doings. YELLOW ADVERTISING. AN ENGLISH PUBLISHER announces a new novel “by the most beautiful woman in England.” It is getting so, nowadays, that the press-agents for pugilists and dime musées can obtain points on sensa- tional advertising from the conservative old book-publishers. “THE YANKEE PERIL.” EMPEROR WILLIAM of Germany, whose cartoon-picture of “The Yellow Peril” (Chinese invasion) attracted universal attention a year or so back, can now block out its companion-piece, to be entitled “The Yankee Peril"—the latter being Europe's startled characterization of America’s present-day commercial expansion. THE LIMIT. MoOPEST CABLE-DISPATCHES a column in length, with portrait- cuts and scare-heads, announce throughout the newspaper press that Sarah Bernhardt will play Romeo for a hundred nights in America to Maude Adams’ Juliet, Mr. Charles Frohman will present this fearsome combination, and the version of the play used will be that of * Mr. Froh- man’s prompt copy, in manuscript.” Where does Shakespeare come in? MODERN PREACHING.

Herron and His New Social Apostolate”; “The Hall of Fame, or Our Debt to Great Men”; “Eddyism and Christian Science”; “ Spiritualis and Religion"; “The Gospel of Salt"; “ Our Nation's Shame and Glory “The Army Canteen Curse”; “Perils of Wall Street”; and “Is the Bicycle Immoral?" Sermons of this sort show a progressive alertness on the part of the ministers, no doubt. And yet—and yet—what's the matter with preaching the Gospel once in a while, just for a change? CHILDREN’S HEADS. [T 1S CONJECTURED that there may be a limit to the normal capacity of schoolchildren for book-learning—even the precocious children of our big towns of to-day. Quite a number of parents, and even a profes- sional educator here and there, are beginning to agitate the question of a modification in the present school system. It is high time, while there are yet some children immune from brain-fever. The theory now in vogue, or at least in general practice, is aptly expressed by the following refrain, current in the newspaper press: © Ram it in, cram itia! Children’s heads are hollow.
