AN AMERICAN TRIBUTE
[To the Editor of THE Srucrxroa.]
SIR,—After reading some of the letters in your issues of September 21st and 28th, I am moved to do what I have been minded to do many times but have left undone ; that is, to tell you what you have meant to me during the 21 years that you have come into my study. Your reviews and criticisms have been stimulating essays apart from any immediate interest I might have in the subject. In your articles the breadth and fairness of your judgements are touching. I cherish The Spectator not as a journal to pick up and cast down, but to study as I should give study to a book of serious import. I mark and file your columns ; I make careful notes here and there, and refer frequently to my resulting notebooks. I consider that to previous university training I have added, since July, 1913, something very like another liberal education
through you.—Vcry warmly yours, MARTIN M. POST. Department of English, Classical High School, Worcester, Mass., U.S.A.
