The minister of public instruction attended the banquet, and said that if his hopes and his programme were only adhered to, France would in a few years' time be able to point with pride to a race of active and manly youths, somewhat different in physique and appearance from the pallid boys who loiter about a small courtyard, or walk in procession through the streets on half-holidays...
