# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains a satirical article titled "Things to Come" featuring an interview between a journalist and a Professor Eustace Bauble about a proposed reform to the school system and newspaper printing methods. The top cartoon shows two men at a desk with the caption "Aw, tell her I've gone to China!"—a joke about a husband using an extreme excuse to avoid his wife. The lower cartoon depicts a salesman named Goldstein with the caption "Goldstein will do anything to make a sale," showing him in an exaggerated, undignified pose to land a customer. This reflects period stereotypes about Jewish salesmen and the lengths they'd pursue profit—a form of ethnic caricature typical of early 20th-century American humor magazines. The Professor's discussion of mathematical "codes" encoding news stories represents satirical commentary on modernist approaches to information and education reform popular in that era.
