...Hohenzollerns that each ruler added some bit to the Prussian land. The last of the Hohenzollerns will live to see that long and cruelly-wrested land snatched from him again. Will he remember Dixmonde when he hears the troops of the five great Powers crossing the Rhine?

With such methods of study there is little wonder that educators find their students submissively docile and without originality...
