...first novel, it is distinctly commendable. The young lady knows whereof she writes, on both sides of the argument, and she writes with the vivacity and warmth of Irish blood reared "down South." None knows better than she the tragedy of good taste ruined by poor execution.

They had decided that it was incumbent upon them to furnish future citizens with "internal control" now that those declining agencies, the home and the church were no longer effective and now that society was abandoning "external control." The teachers of Oregon were feeling the full unction of their mission-and were now waiting to be addressed by that great champion of public education, the ousted president of the university of the great...
