...making a choice between the political parties which now divide the country, my advice to a young man would be, to ally himself with that which seemed to his best judgment the party of hope and progress, - the party of the future.

As the writer says, those who do not engage their time very early in the term are even deprived of the benefit of fifteen minutes' instruction a week. Of course no very great progress can be made in such limited time, even with the best master, but we cannot see that the section system would be an improvement, as instruction to a section of six for an hour is the same as reducing the time for each member to ten minutes instead of fifteen...
