...good mirror and secondly a trained observer. If either is wanting the light is of no value. If the mirror is poor, that is if the reflected light be too faint, the best observer can get no good results. Thus often in the troubles and perplexities of life, even those who know God best cannot distinguish His hand. On the other hand, if the mirror be perfect there is nothing told to one who is not a good observer. Thus while to a naturalist every plant and rock tells how the laws of nature are working, to the uneducated they...
Class feeling is gradually weakening here at Harvard. It is a result to which many causes are contributory.

It was thought that the only education necessary for a teacher was a thorough training in his subject and some slight professional training in a normal school. That every one should study...
...irrational, for (a) While it is based on the injustice of convicting a man if even one juror has a reasonable doubt of his guilt; yet if eleven believe him innocent and one does not, he cannot be acquitted. (b) It presupposes that twelve men will be likely really to agree on a doubtful question...
