...militaristic system could not be called culture. It was merely a mechanical perfection, wholly lacking in spontaneity. The 'Youth Movement' is embracing a different theory of values in the educational standard. The tendency is constantly towards a more liberal ideal. Its studies are more and more in the realm of Philosophy, Literature and Religion. The old shackles are being cast off by a new and spontaneous enthusiasm...
...ante-room of a large Russian circus, seeped in the lore of the tanbark-ring, the play moves in a little world of its own, diverse enough and complete unto itself.

The appeal for membership was made largely on romantic grounds, by hints that each man would take part in a great crusade, and no doubt the mysterious rites of initiation--of which I found a horrible example in the cave--and the unusual costumes...
