...taken the place of "Private Admonitions," and "Admonitions" of "Public Admonitions," while "Parietal Admonitions" are no longer in the list to enforce discipline. The use of the word "absence" is rather arbitrary, and for that very reason deserves to be remarked. "Absence from a recitation" is taken as the unit of censure by which all failures, enumerated in section 30, to perform duties, are measured. All failures to attend church or prayers are referred to "one absence from prayers" as an unit of censure, five of which are equivalent to one absence from church.

...started off. My journey to the brook was a modern Anabasis, - ???, - "just three miles" did that brook keep ahead of me throughout the fifteen I walked. I learned this from passing countrymen, and argument and expostulation failed to shorten the distance one yard. "Just three miles" is the only unit of long measure used in New Hampshire...

...ward from such action. Wherein lies the difference between an appeal to students and an appeal to the "educated," who are, after all, only students who have graduated from college, and forgotten much if not most of what they have learned there, who cannot act so much as a unit, and who are not so easily accessible as students. Though the latter are less numerous, they should not find themselves entirely neglected, as they are now, on that account. You will very probably say that educated men gain an experience of men and affairs, after leaving college, which gives them...
