With the same unerring instinct Mr. Stelling set to work at his natural method of instilling the Eton Grammar and Euclid into the mind of Tom Tulliver. This, he considered, was the only basis of solid instruction; all other means of education were mere charlatanism, and could produce nothing better than smatterers.
Then, plucking up a little spirit: "I wrote out all my history questions, and did the parsing with a little help from Miss Grayson, and I did the sum you set me all by myself." "Yes; but the Algebra, the Classics, and the Euclid! Where are they?" "There they are," said Dexter, pointing dismally to some books on the table.
We can prove the propositions of Euclid, the law of gravitation, the law of atomic proportions, the law of association; we cannot prove our present sensations, nor can we demonstrate that what has been, will be. The ultimate data must be accepted as self-evident; they have no higher authority than that mankind generally are disposed to accept them.
So low, under the influence of Christianity, had sunk the literature of Greece Greece Pagan, which once brought forth Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Euclid, Zenophon, and many another mighty one, whose fame rolls down the ages that Greece had become Greece Christian, and the vitality of her motherhood had been drained from her, and left her without strength to conceive men.
What street in London can be mentioned in this respect side by side with Commonwealth Avenue or Beacon Street in Boston; with Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio; with the upper end of Fifth Avenue, New York; nay, even with the new Via Roma at Genoa?
If verbal logic were sufficient, life would be as plain sailing as a piece of Euclid. But, as a matter of fact, we make a travesty of the simplest process of thought when we put it into words for the words are all coloured and forsworn, apply inaccurately, and bring with them, from former uses ideas of praise and blame that have nothing to do with the question in hand.
What is the use of the young man stating that?" The study of Abraham Lincoln's speeches will be very helpful. Two or three of Roscoe Conkling's arguments after he left the Senate are models of perspicuity. Mr. Potter's argument in the legal tender cases is a model it is Euclid stated in terms of the law. Webster's arguments you will study, of course.
"But why in Heaven's name," Yaverland asked, "do you carry a protractor about with you?" "Off and on I try and keep up my Euclid and do a rider over my lunch, and I just keep a protractor handy." Yaverland stopped. "Ellen," he said, "I haven't known you very long."
For Elsie's responding gesture reinspired him afresh with the exquisite terror which he had already begun to conjure away. "You think Miss Euclid ought to have the part," he added quickly, before she could speak. "Oh! I do!" cried Elsie, positively and eagerly. "Rose will do simply wonders with that part. You see she can speak verse. I can't. I'm nobody. I only took it because "
This was the great event of the season to many families throughout this State. Parents came from all quarters; the élite of Troy and Albany assembled here. Principals from other schools, distinguished legislators, and clergymen all came to hear girls scan Latin verse, solve problems in Euclid, and read their own compositions in a promiscuous assemblage.
