...which can possibly aid him in this very vital part of his work? In a word, this note-taking, if I may be permitted the expression, is the wholesale industry of the college, and with this fact in view, I do not think any single addition to the present curriculum of electives would so materially increase the average standard of scholarship as the addition of a course in short-hand writing.

And no less an authority than the London Athenaeum declares that compulsory Greek in the schools is doomed. The argument from the English school system, therefore, is likely to prove a boomerang in the hands of the classicists...
