...lesson which Youth must learn, and he understood that the way to encourage it was to offer attractive rewards in the form of freedom and progress. What he says about a rebellion of Youth we must take with a grain of salt. He himself hardly wants Age to be thrown in the discard; what he does want, artfully, is for Youth to want it so; because he knows that only through the discontent of Youth can progress be made; improvement does not come until Youth discovers and exposes the shortcomings of its Botters...
...well provided. They ranged all the way from luxurious halls of marble to dark, narrow mud-huts. The most imposing one we took at first to be a great temple, but on closer inspection of the floor and walls we found stains of Inca coffee and condor-eggs, unaccountably thrown there by careless eaters.

These may have smouldered for some time but when we take up the story they have started a fence blaze around a precious paper held by a gentleman as perfectly eccentric as any we have met with in many moons. It is he, this...
...meantime the bewildered public is completely at a loss. In the absence of balanced literary reviews, the average Frenchman is thrown upon the decisions of the prize juries to guide his choice of books. A writer in "L'Oeuvre" recalls the newspaper story of the catch of a marvellous fish off the Pont Royal, and how by 8 o'clock of the day the paper appeared, two hundred would-be fishermen and six hundred spectators were on the spot to see the performance repeated. Similarly, he points out, is there a rush of people to the booksellers to obtain some...
