...Athletic Association in his report for 1906-07 says, "The track events did not seem to draw, when standing on their own feet, the income they did when they were thrown in as part of the inducement to buy the regular H. A. A. season ticket." An indirect effect of the extension would undoubtedly be an increased attendance at the minor sport contests, a result much to be desired...

Land which has been built on in France, has increased in value from three to twelve million dollars in the last...
...Avenel traced the peasant from the early conditions of serfdom, through the steps of enfranchisement, which took place on account of the scarcity of labor in the Middle Ages. The Lords gave their servants their lands, only keeping the rents and indirect rights for themselves.

Through this means all peasants became proprietors, but they were forbidden to sell or rent their land...
