...touch-stone of a reforming, or a non-reforming school, has shown itself the most conservative of them all. The first step to any real reform of studies is the abolition of verse-making, except as an extra in the higher forms. Greek, too, as a compulsory subject is doomed, and all the head masters in England cannot save it. This, we know, is a debatable question, and we should like to argue it out, but here we must be content to dogmatic...

If, by offering additional inducements to the writers of commencement parts, the number of competitors can be increased, this increase will naturally result in an improvement in the commencement exercises, an improvement greatly to be desired...
