...over a half year or "semester" with recitations or lectures four or even five times a week, the result, it is very probable, would, in the majority of cases, be better than at present, where the attention is protracted and wearied by a long year's work with recitations often no more than once a week, where the interest of the learner is almost sure to flag before the completion of the course...
