Menckenistic Mencken, according to Dr. Wimberly. Extracts from Edward J. O'Brien, who was then residing in Switzerland, are as follows: "I trust that you will pardon me for writing to express my opinion of the Prairie Schooner. Knowing as I do what such a magazine as you are editing means in American life, it has seemed to me that it should be more widely known than it appears to be. "I have asked myself why this is not the case, and the conclusion to which I have come is that it is unable to draw the necessary at tention to itself because it is not taken seriously enough at home. "I have known people to say it was a mere college magazine, but the quality of its stories, arti cles and poems is such that it ranks with the Midland, the Fron tier and not more than one or two other American periodicals, as the most significant expression of American life which we possess.
