BRANSON’S TRIP ABROAD The thirty-six chapters on the Country End of Civilization in Ger many, Denmark, and France Five Years after the Great War were published in the University News Letter week by week and in the Sunday editions of five great dailies of the state. These chapters are now being completely edited for publication in book form at some early date by the University of North Carolina Press. That is to say if there should seem to be any sufficient demand for such a book. At any event the edition would be small and it will be mailed out to those who apply for it at a price that covers the bare cost of publication. Which means that it will be a minimum rather than a maximum price. We shall be pleased therefore to have letters from our readers in regard to this proposed book, so as to determine in advance of the publi cation the size of the edition.
