Apparently this was not sufficiently abject to please the Lampoon, for its issue of to-day devotes a great deal of space and ingenuity in abusing us, in spite of our apology; but we do not think that public opinion will pronounce their reply either called for or in good taste-perhaps they themselves will not in the course of a month or two.

...tutor drill the boys.' Every college professor of history will sympathize with Mr. Sparks' view and be glad to see it put into practice. Mr. Sparks did his own work thoroughly and conscientiously, but he did not expect much from "the boys." Like them, he thought examination a good deal of a bore.

Perhaps a few facts in regard to it may be of general interest. Volapuk was invented by a German Catholic priest, the Rev. Father Schleyer of Constance, Baden. Germany. In 1878 he began work on a simplified universal language, to be used both in commerce and science, and in 1879 he published his system and a dictionary and grammar. The public first regarded the system...
