...rushers have not been called out as yet, but if signs are true there promises to be abundance of material. The number of candidates should not deter any one from trying, however, for in a month's practice the choice of players will be very difficult, and often certain points in a new player will turn the decision in his favor. Beyond the number of candidates it is hoped and expected that a large number will show their interest in the eleven and its work by appearing on the field daily to encourage the players...
...made a success only if many support it, and it will be made a success in the ratio of the number attending. The greater the number of students who eat there the easier will it be to bring about a better state of things, for there are certain necessary expenses which must go on, be the number great or small.

But the gaining of the first degree does not complete a Chinaman's education...

There is hardly a thoughtful parent who does not know that the object set before his boy and girl at school is, not the gradual healthy development of their mental power and ability for usefulness, but a certain number of marks, a high place in their class, some paltry distinction on graduating day. Pupils thus fail to perceive how utterly factitious and worthless these successes are a week after they will leave the school. The argument of the teacher is that the examination marks are a test...
