When SCRIBNER issued its famous Mid.
summer Holiday Number in July, airiendly
critic said Of it: "We arc not sure but that
SCRIBNER has touched high-water mark.
We do not see what worlds are left TO it TO
conquer" Rut the publishers do not con-
slider that they have reached the ultima
thule Of excellence--they believe 'there are
other worlds To conquer, and they propose
to conquer them"
