Smyth required that due regard be had to manners and morals. Arithmetic and grammar were not, in his estimation, more important than politeness and Christian morality. He encouraged the ornamentation of the school rooms with plants, flowers and engravings, which has been so generally adopted, thus rendering them attractive and conducive to taste and refinement. For five successive years Mr.
In his general statement of "the duty of speaking the truth," Dr. Smyth is also clear, sound, and emphatic. "The law of truthfulness is," he says, "a supreme inward law of thought." "The obligation of veracity ... is an obligation which every man owes to himself. It is a primal personal obligation.
It seems altogether probable, then, that the smaller unit of measurement used by the builders of the great Pyramid was intended, as Professor Smyth thinks, to be equal to the 500,000,000th part of the earth's diameter, determined from their geodetical observations.
Smyth paused, turning sideways to the table, leaning his elbow on it, crossing his legs and staring gloomily down the long room. "But what do they know or care about scholarship?" he continued.

In the small hours it began to rise, and before dawn to freshen, veering to another quarter.
Those suffering from it must be reckoned as insane; not sick merely, but actually mad with self-love. Smyth, to gain his play a hearing, would beggar him Iglesias without scruple or regret.
