...difficulty in cataloguing the value of the system, not emphasizing its demerits. No one realizes better than the tutor, unless it be his tutee, how delicate is the machine of operation, and how extremely intangible are the aims of the tutorial system, especially in its bloom of youth. One vaguely refers to it as a helping hand, a coordinating influence, a personal guide; and it is all of these things, but it is also the bone and marrow of a great educational theory...
...Morrisville High School, in Doylestown, Pa., Miss Mary Bones was the instructor in athletics: Miss Ruth Steiner, a brawny girl, was the captain of the girls' basketball team.

It is assuredly a neat phrase and accompanied by a certain shrug of the shoulders and flick of the ash it assumes the proportions of a social gesture. But it is untrue--gloriously untrue...
...years since Dr. Grenfell, a Marlborough-and-Oxford youth who had amplified his medical interneship by cruising the North Sea healing fishermen struck across the Atlantic to take his surgery to the white fishermen and Eskimos of Labrador. He built hospitals, co-operative stores and native industries in many a cove and inlet of that grisly coast. The Indian Harbor Hospital, founded in 1894, is about 200 miles north of Battle Harbor, where Dr. Grenfell began his work two years earlier. The Marabel was to have assisted, from the Indian Harbor base, the coastwise dispensary service long rendered...
