Forgot to say that criticism of Mr. and Mrs. Neeson’s concert was not too bad, for a wonder. – Had a heated argument to-day in school about St. Joan. It is extraordinary. The virtuous young priests who thought ‘No, No, Nanette’ great, and who neither saw nor know anything about St. Joan said they heard it was a disgrace, and anti-Catholic. We almost came to blows. If this is the modern taste of priests, what will the future generation be? I was only supported by ‘Cha’ Connor, a great fellow who has strong character, a great brain and good taste. A little musical feeling would make him perfect. – The Peace Conference in Morocco has broken down, and the French, Spanish and Riff are at it again! May Abd El Krim hold out a long time yet! The Druses in Syria are also fighting. The Dictator Mussolini is still vigorously reforming Italy. He is apparently anti-German. Prince Carol of Roumania lately created an uproar by renouncing right to throne. – Worked well and P. & M. & I had laughs at old memories.
