In this country the college must go on for a while playing the double role of a place for general education and a workshop for professional training, but at least the high school ought to be faithful to its only goal of general education without professional anticipations. The division of labor lies on the outside; we are specialists in our handiwork, but our heart-work is uniform, and the demand for individualized education emphasizes the small differences in our tasks, and ignores the great...

...true inwardness of the matter is not and can not be known for some time, but right seems to be on the side of the Boers. At least the sight of a nation leaving all and going in a body to the front to fight for their homes ought to inspire the admiration of a republic like America and compel it to suspend its judgment...
