...does not assume the right attitude towards the student. Proverbially one can catch more flies, with honey than with molasses and the secret of getting results from the student certainly does not lie in antagonizing him. Even the placard announcing the first meeting of German A fairly breathed forth animosity, proclaiming as it did that students not attending this meeting "must be prepared to be assigned to sections less convenient to them." Moreover there are two glaring faults in the manner of conducting the course. It is reasonably poor psychology to reassign sections on the beginning of the second term...

What is a monitor, and why? This question on an intelligence test would bring forth as great a variety of answers as the famous John Hancock riddle. To the College Office, he is merely a bit of machinery in a complex system, like the time-clock of a business establishment. To the individual in the course, he represents the frailties of the human flesh, to be plied with the wine of excuse and entreaty until his will is bent to the individual's purpose. The storm of hard-luck stories and heart-appeals that daily besiege a monitor...
Coming, as they do, close together, these two sets of statistics give rise to all sorts of tempting, generalities. Is Harvard abandoning the Law School to the Philistine and sending forth its alumni to conquer the field of education? Or is the undergraduate section of the College going back to the days of the "nil admirari", when education meant refinement and polish and a carefully aurtured lack of interest in anything that meant applied study? Either conclusion can be derived from these facts...
