...Fiske in the naturalness of her method; Mr. Lewis, as Michael Daverines, though a trifle stiff, and not altogether convincing, made the most of a thankless and difficult part; and Miss Harrington and Mr. Anderson played the colorless sister and brother-in-law with excellent taste. But, on the whole, the cast failed in only one task, which is a very difficult one for Anglo-Saxons; they did not preserve the Gallic quality of the characters they represented.

On the whole the author has shown pains-taking study of the authorities and excellent taste...
...elective system even in the lower schools. Almost every party was willing to vote for this, upon one condition--that it, the party, might put its own valuation on each study and have its own way as to how much value should be required for admission." So that the whole question of electives in admission requirements shook itself down to the practical one of "'points,' and combinations of 'points'," which finally produced the system about to go into force. Professor Emerson then discusses most interestingly, in the real body of the article, the ancient and modern language question, the possibility...
