...puzzled by masses of reading, novel styles of teaching, and intricate disorganization of material. That the first try to beat these obstacles without resort to the tutoring schools was a failure is no proof that a solution cannot be had. The prosperity of certain institutions along Massachusetts Avenue shows that reviews can be made so effective and valuable that men will pay large amounts of money to get them.
