The prompt, accurate, and general answering which was rewarded by the award of the higher grants for "class subjects" was, in nine cases out of ten, the outcome of assiduous and unintelligent cram, a mode of preparation for which the policy of the Education Department was mainly responsible.
The choice of the patterns themselves deserves the highest commendation. The plates are of the same class of subjects which has given the paper its present high standing. The four gelatine plates are devoted to illustrating Messrs. Cram, Wentworth & Goodhue's design for the Public Library to be erected in Fall River, Mass.
When you've done your morning's work you go to your favorite café not with the one object in life to cram a Châteaubriand down your dry and resisting throat because he who labors must live, but to see your friends, to read your daily journals, to write your letters, and do it incidentally in the open air while some diplomat of a waiter serves you with food that assuages the palate, without insulting your mood.
Yes! he should have meadow-hay and oats, as much as Dapple could cram, and all the other knights had to lead their horses out of the stable that Dapplegrim might stand alone, and have it all to himself.

Reed Opdyke was a busy youngster, full of the countless interests that cram the college days of a popular, easy-going student.

Indeed, as Nat Bolus remarked, "they looked for all the world like an assemblage of huge baboons."
The child started and stared up at her, as if such sudden, amazing good luck almost frightened her; then she snatched up the bun and began to cram it into her mouth with great wolfish bites. "Oh, my! Oh, my!" Sara heard her say hoarsely, in wild delight. "OH my!" Sara took out three more buns and put them down. The sound in the hoarse, ravenous voice was awful.
I hate the rich of my country who live content in the shame of defeat because it enables them to traffic calmly and to cram their vaults with silver. Those are the wretches who, after our defeat in Sicily, dared to dream of abandoning Carthage and of moving wholesale to the islands of the Great Sea to live in tranquility.
Yet you are a human being " "Well, partly, yes: say a novelist". "Do not jest! It is incredible to me that you have written book after book, and knew of this divine thing, and did not cram your books with it!" Loveday flushed. "You misunderstand my profession; and as to this theory of land-tenure, let me tell you: it will never be realized not in England. Anyway, it would mean civil war...."
Rex, who had no partisanship with the Israelites, having made a troublesome acquaintance with the minutiae of their ancient history in the form of "cram," was amusing himself by playfully exaggerating the notion of each speaker, while Anna begged them all to understand that he was only joking, when the laughter was interrupted by the bringing in of a letter for Mrs. Davilow.
