635 pages.
Porter Sargent (1872-1951) published a series of 100 mimeographed
bulletins in 1939-1941 that he sent out to his mailing list of 10,000
private school people, college presidents and school superintendents. These
are reprinted in this book, after a 96-page introduction. The style of each
bulletin consists of several paragraphs or pages of commentary on recent
items from the world press, followed by extensive end notes that are more
detailed and informative than the commentary itself. Sargent was primarily
worried about the drumbeat toward world war, and by Britain's skillful
propaganda and maneuvering to make sure the U.S. became involved.
From pages 245-6: "No periodical will print the material put forth in
these Bulletins... The making of these Bulletins has taken practically my
whole time for months so that I have neglected my personal and business
affairs... It requires the full time assistance of two secretaries and part
time of five or six others. Personally I take, read, mark and clip with
assistance more than a hundred periodicals, -- see, read, annotate hundreds
of the new books each year. There is no secret stuff here. Much of it is
on the inside page of the N.Y.Times and Tribune, more comes from obscure
periodicals and news letters... The interpretations in these Bulletins are
not paid for except by voluntary contributions."
