Otherwise, only two significant changes to the text were made,
other than adjusting the punctuation on an occasional title
so that the title in the text matched that in the table of contents,
a few other minor errors in punctuation, and the changes noted
in the Biographical Notes.
In "Da Leetla Boy" by Thomas Augustine Daly, the second occurrence of the line
"Of -- w'at-you-call? . . ." was "Of -- wa't-you-call? . . ." in the original.
After observing the spelling of "w'at" in the other poem by Mr. Daly,
this was changed to conform with the `correct' spelling.
"Sweeney, Mildred McNeal" was originally misspelled "Sweeney, Mildred McNeil"
in the notes.
The note on Jessie B. Rittenhouse is new.
