...both native and European, and the almost infinite number of "Free schools" attached to the public fountains and maintained by the same charitable foundation as the fountain. Every visitor to Cairo is familiar with these. Passing a fountain at almost any time of the day, he will be pretty sure to hear from the building connected with it the babel of many infantile voices, pitched in all keys, and on looking in at the open door, he will see a confused mass of little human bodies squatted on the floor, rocking back and forth in well-kept measure, and repeating...

The usual career of victories which a freshman eleven experiences always goes far to give it over-confidence, and some such rude change as they have now received, is necessary to inspire a proper spirit of work in both eleven and class. While there is some little ground for excuse for their defeat on account of the wretched ground at Andover, the fact nevertheless remains that the eleven was clearly...
