Suffrage is a form of education; many men think that education comprises merely school and college life; in reality, this is wholly preparatory, for education continues during a man's business and professional life in the development of his personal power. Suffrage, moreover, leads to greater ideals, for the voter must took forward to doing for coming generations what eight generations have done for him; he must realize that he is sowing the seeds of future prosperity or future poverty, of domestic joy or suffering...
Professor James says of M. Boutroux, "The word 'liberal' seems to have been coined especially to apply to him, so sympathetically has he entered, into the most diverse states of mind interpreting scientific men, philosophers and religious men to each other. His own way of thinking has many points of resemblance to what is known as pragmatism in this country. His effort, since the publishing of his first book, has been to show that concrete life exceeds our powers of abstract formulation, that what we see, feel and think in the world of reality are only approximations which the intellect...

It may also serve to give to undergraduate journalism a less fictitious and juvenile character...
...Pulsifer. As for the prize-fight, in "The Champion," there is some vivid realism in the style that gives promise of an eventually competent reporter. The anther should study the great classic in this genre,--the account by Mr. John I., Sullivan of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, in, I think, The New York Journal. It was fought on Saint Patrick's Day, and there were in the audience, says that eminent feuilletonist, "nine lady sports all dressed in green." The seduction--"His Room-mate's Side of It"--is merely vulgar and uncharacteristic. An artist may sometimes feel inclined...
