...power of social life and manners-he can hardly deny that this scheme, though drawn in rough and plain lines and not pretending to scientific exactness, does yet give a fairly true representation of the matter. Human nature is built up by these powers; we have the need for them all. This is evident enough, and the friends of physical science will admit it. But perhaps they may not have sufficiently observed another thing: namely, that these powers just mentioned are not isolated, but there is in the generality of mankind a perpetual tendency to relate them one to another...
...education, yet Latin and Greek, say the friends of progress, will certainly have to go. Greek is the grand offender in the eyes of these gentlemen. The attackers of the established course of study think that against Greek, at any rate, they have irresistible arguments. Literature may perhaps be needed in education they say; but why on earth should it be Greek literature? Why not French or German? Nay, 'has not a man of English speech models in his own literature of every kind of excellence?' As before, it is not on any weak pleadings of my own that...

There is space enough in the building to make four or five large rooms. The Pope Manufacturing Co. had last summer several agencies around the country, where they kept bicycles and tricycles to let; they also taught riding. Now, perhaps they could...
...might some day be at least more useful if not more ornamental. The idea of making the building into several rooms is a good one. Unless the college carpenters desire to build small houses inside or use the space to store up a whole wood yard they cannot need all the room which the building affords. There must be at least room enough to enable the bicycle club to establish a headquarters in it, with opportunities for storage for their machines. The plan suggested by the writer of having an agency for the rent of bicycles would doubtless meet with...
