The one is precommitted because it brings to the study of the Bible the reasons it should find there; the other is unsympathetic because it is purely critical and external. The appreciative state of mind is the one with which to consider this literature. One should appreciate this...

The result can be accomplished either by the united influence of the large colleges upon the preparatory schools or, as proposed by the method of anticipating studies. Let the attendance at preparatory schools be steady in boyhood, as in France, and young men will then invariably graduate from college at twenty, as they are well able to do. Moreover, we deny that the new doctor or lawyer begins his real life work later than other...
