...German university is the absolute intellectual freedom that it permits and to some degree fosters. Nor is this freedom confined to the students. A professor is at entire liberty to hold any views that seem best to him, and these views he may, and in fact does, impart to his pupils. In his studies the German youth is perhaps more interested in generalization than are the youth of America who are ever apt to turn toward the more concrete realities of life...
...Erlkonig" when she sang it with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, four years since. At any rate, Miss Braslau far overleaped it last Sunday, singing the song, as she did, with a realism too intense to be excelled. In other numbers of Schubert she triumphed as well. Especially did she impart to "Gretchen am Spinnrade," the soft sheen, the delicate shadings, which the composer intended.

The author urges, therefore, that many subjects hitherto known as "college subjects" be taught in the elementary schools. They need not be given in all their intricate complexity. The broad, fundamental ideas...
...devices for making the subject interesting. "Child psychology" with its array of "complexes" has driven from the field the older method of teaching by rote. We are further shifting the emphasis from the dry and musty Classics to the newer and more fascinating Sciences. But though we try to impart a great deal of information, it is against modern principles to demand the expenditure of any more energy on the part of the pupil than is absolutely necessary...
