...with harboring socialistic ideas, but those who hear him or read his works can only admire the sort of socialism which he advocates. Professor Adler's work is, however, by nomeans limited to theorizing and lecturing. His great merit is the practical system of charities and education of the poorer classes which he has established and successfully built up. Chicago, Philadelphia and numerous other cities have now Ethical Culture Societies which are vying with the New York society in the work they do. No man in America, it is safe to say, is more fitted to lecture on "Ethics...
...Harvard University recently issued a notice to the Cambridge students to the effect that he was willing to act as their second "next friend" in seeking summer employment for such of them as needed to work in order to support themselves. His offer, it appears, has drawn from the poorer class of men, some of them members of the medical, law and divinity schools, applications as varied as they are numerous. They want work for their heads or their hands, it matters little which so long as it pays their...
...grounders marvellously well. He accepted eight chances without an error. Clarke as he has done regularly for the last six years, at Crown, caught in fine form and did not have a passed ball.

In the poorer districts of the north, private corporations were allowed the right to build and control them. The government roads were a success, - a fact not to be accounted for by the government. The simple explanation is that the private roads encountered no expense not warranted by prospects of increased patronage...
...university crew men do not row on the class crews does not at all apply, since the 'Varsity men can not practice by themselves until the day before the class race and then disperse into their class boats, and row with other men with half the efficacy that poorer rowers who have been training together. The university crew cannot well join the class crews, if they would. And in the case of the coxswain, it is quite well known that when that vote was passed last fall that there was somewhat of a misundering, and that there is still. Such...
