...apes, we are told by the German doctor, the form of intellect is the same as the form which we find in man, but not developed to anywhere near the high point of man. "Moreover," said Dr. Koehler, "there is a great breach between the intellectual development of the apes and of the smaller monkeys and other animals, such as dogs and cats. The reason that dogs often seem so intelligent is that they are more docile and willing to be taught than other animals...
...divisional examinations justifiable? To the serious student, they are merely a proof of his general knowledge, and subordinate to his higher aims. To the other types of student they are an additional burden, a source of anxiety, or an unmitigated hore.

The student is shown a bit of verse by a reputable poet, who may be any one of a number ranging from Mother Goose to Carl Sandberg, and three artistically mutilated versions of the same. If he has a keen discrimination in poetry...
...monarch beloved by his people. Much more than his embittered enemies may he be called a democrat of Spain. Hard-worker, severely earnest in fulfilling his responsibilities, unusually tactful and liberal-minded, rapid and accurate in his decisions, he combines to a high degree of perfection those qualities of intellect for which he has earned recognition. If he has had his affaires?and he has?they have in no way diminished his ability to rule...
