When the same vandal influence which assailed religion in the case or the chaplainship is seen to be at work to undermine social feeling by attacking its expression, one may well wish that his lot had been cast in that golden age (problematical, to be sure, even in Homer's time) when a warrior raised with ease a stone that in after times was to require the strength of four of the fast degenerating species...

If more such measures were introduced, if a system of fines should be substituted in part for the system of censure-marks, we believe that the result would give general satisfaction. We could then be allowed privileges which we should have...
