...modern psychology we must ascertain two things. First, what traits we wish to develop. Here the criterion should be social utility or service value. Second, we must test college subjects and college teaching methods to see whether they really produce these traits. Of one thing we may be sure in advance: the fact-cramming method is sure to defeat our aim. Not only are the facts we learn in college largely valueless and largely forgotten, but the fact-cramming. Swallow-and-disgorge, tell-me-what-I-told-you method guarantees the repression of independent thought. We cannot expect the College...
...Trans-Siberian Railroad, the logical line of German advance, cuts directly through Manchuria, which is Chinese territory, and a German foothold there would mean disaster for China.

German propaganda, to be sure, has been spread in China, but the split between northern and southern provinces is due purely to Chinese politics.

Raids have been made almost continuously, and with a remarkable intensity of artillery fire and fierceness of attack. The High Command is evidently feeling out the weak spot for the great attack. They cannot hope to wear out the Allied armies by these minor tactics, they are only a prelude to greater events. A raid...
...wait no longer to prove their prowess. The champions of each side will meet at the Locker Building at 2.30 to prepare for the gruelling contest. As both septets are in top-notch form and more than eager for the fray, the countless thousands who will attend can be sure of a spectacular clash between the old-time rivals. The battle will be open to the public and the sympathizers with the players of each team will be allowed to express their sympathies actively, by joining in the strife and supporting their favorites in time of need...
