When ScRIBNER issued it's famous Midsum-
mer Holiday Number in July, friendly critic
said OF it: s'We are not sure but that Sc,'i6ner
has touched higf-aoater mark. We do not see
so7at aoorzds are left to 1t to conquer" But the
publishers do not consider that they have
reached the atItino0 thule Of excellence-they
believe ssthere are other worlds to conquer,
and they propose to conquer them" a
