Mr. Charles Grant Miller, the arch-enemy of all those ideals

implied in the heading of these weekly notes, "English-Speaking World," for which the Spectator has so consistently worked, is continuing the campaign of friction-mongering in the columns of the New York American, and in that 100 per cent. American organ, the Gaelic-American, which reprints his articles in the New York American in extenso. Mr. Miller spreads the glad tidings that "Anglicized American school history" is being driven out of New Jersey by a State-wide clean sweep, and according to him more than forty school districts in the State have discarded "their treason texts within the last month in response to patriotic protest." Mr. Miller is very indignant with the Land- mark, the organ of the English-Speaking Union, and with the Spectator, for "vituperating the American patriotic organizations as ignorant and narrowly nation- alistic."
