This refers to the unknown group of young men who have taken it upon themselves to relieve the monotony of their fellow citizens in a time of trouble with the free fireworks and similar public spectacles of the last few days. The remarkable thing is, that with the timidity and retiring nature of true philanthropists, these public-spirited gentlemen have eluded all attempts to discover their identity. It is even rumored that detectives have been engaged to this end, but any such efforts...

A child is given two crude, one-string fiddles, one with frets, one without. By comparing noises made on both, he can soon fit in the missing frets, play the second fiddle. Children who can read are encouraged to act each sentence out in dumb show. The system tries to make all of a pupil's acts coordinate with all his senses. Through ideological gymnastics, an intellect is developed by the exercise of attention, comparison, judgment...
