...devote to it at least a fair amount of work. The old method of conducting half courses, by which two lours of recitations per week were held throughout the entire year, was certainly a failure when viewed in this light. And in truth this was only a natural result. Aside from the lack of interest which was due to the intervale between the recitations, every man felt that such courses demanded more work from him than he was given credit for doing. It was openly acknowledged that two half-courses were far more than an equivalent to one full course...
...very closely represented by the ratio between the average marks of the students of an elective for their freshman year, and their average marks in the elective. The former would be the nearest representation of the ability and industry of the members of the elective; the latter the result of the application of that ability and industry to the work of the elective.

This is the more noticeable to us, as the United States having no warlike neighbors and being protected by vast oceans, requires no military discipline in her schools and colleges. The great strength of Germany is entirely due to this system; the result is that a knowledge of military tactics is general. In France the training schools are so arranged that comparatively few attain high rank and proficiency in the army. But the German system of schools imparts a broader education, together with a good knowledge of army tactics to its soldiers...
...most of the other European countries the education is similar to that of the Prussian system, but not so rigid and complete. The result is that Germany has not only the largest and finest equipped army, but also the most enlightened and educated soldiers in the world...
