Jennie's Calendar, 1917

Did Not Fulfill Requirements
Once a high-school principal was having a
dispute with one of his teachers, a vivacious
young lady. She claimed that the word "man"
meant mankind as a whole, while "men" always
signified the masculine gender.
    The principal maintained that there were ex-
ceptions and triumphantly quoted: "Though I
speak with the tongues of men and of angels."
    But the young lady answered demurely:
"That won't do, for, you see, both genders are
mentioned there."
Are these your sentiments?
