Rest is what is wanted, and rest is as often found in change of work as in idleness. The study and contemplation of nature after poring over books cannot fail to be enjoyable and refreshing. While cultivating the literary and aesthetic side of our nature, we should not neglect the scientific and practical...

The only remedy for this, that we see, is to accept proficiency in final examinations as an equivalent for so many hours in the tabular view.
