Professor Adler has frequently been charged 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...
...ball and skating in their season. If we look at the German boy in these same years we discover the same earnestness about the work and the same dogged determination to pass the examinations which close the American schoolboy's career, but his dissipations are of a very different sort. During the last two years of his gymnasium course, he finds it necessary to have miniature "commerce" or drinking bouts.

Still, that the style of these clubs is not looked upon favorably by all the preparatory schools, is amply proved by the appended article which was published as an editorial in the Philippians, the organ of the Phillips Andover students. This matter has never been looked upon with much favor here at Harvard...
...this and passed a law that the students be not allowed to have the cake with plums, and imposed a penalty for the violation of this law of twenty shillings fine and the confiscation of the cakes. The account says that "the anniversary of commencement had become a sort of saturnalia for the whole neighborhood, and the wild revels of the students were so prolonged that it was necessary to put policemen on guard for several days and nights together." But the law did not seem to have any effect and the faculty seemed to be powerless to stop...
