...like the old-fashioned woman. The author of "The Yellow Aster," though less cultivated and less thoughtful than Mrs. Ward, has nevertheless made it a more artistic work than Marcella. "The Heavenly Twins" from the point of view of art is like chaos, without form and void. Although so chaotic in its art, this book sets out to be a work of very definite ethical import.

While our marking system as a whole is in a somewhat chaotic state, and while our examinations are frequently valueless in the determination of work done, these attempts can be of only limited importance, but they show the spirit which is working for the final good, and should make us feel that we still have a place in the march of progress...
