...long vacation allows all a season of entire rest, and, to those whose ability and interest lead them to enjoy travel, an opportunity for very extended tours. In July and August, of all the months of the year, even the most indefatigable "dig" feels a sensation of laziness stealing over him, as the mercury rises to figures as high as those he earned during the last term.

We are a people of routine, bound down by the deadly fetters of a bigoted clergy, which abhors everything modern, whose ideal is in the past, in the dark centuries of the Middle Ages. What, then, is lacking to the French as a nation? Only wise direction and government...
