Are you a Menial ?. (Rowing) 1921.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, Auguat 6th, 1921," showing comic Illustrations drawn by Chas. Grave, called "Are You A Menial ?." (Rowing)

Between 1914 and 1918 it was said that the War had abolished class distinctions, a strange delusion having then arisen that, if a man was good enough to fight for your hearth and home, he was good enough to row at your regattas. That such insanity is fortunately a thing of the past is proved by the fact that a fortnight ago the Amateur Rowing Association decided :  "It is not advisable to alter the existing definition of an amateur."  This means that if you have ever been a paid "mechanic, artisan, or labourer, or engaged in any menial capacity," you must not row with the A.R.A.  So now, you menials, you know where you stand.  As W. S. Gilbert write in "Iolanthe" :-"Bow, bow, ye lower middle classes! Bow ye tradesmen, bow ye masses!" &c.
