He seemed to me rather like a lawyer, who, having a dull case, says what he has to say and sits down. Does he do any real good here, Mr. Foley?" "It is from these walls," the Prime Minister reminded him, "that the laws of the country are framed." Selingman shook his head slowly. "Academically correct," he admitted, "and yet, walls of brick and stone may crumble and split.
It is obvious that where children are so regarded a blight has fallen upon the domestic life. Home cannot be the brightest spot on earth to them; neither can the father and mother be their sympathetic guides, counsellors, and protectors. This factor of parental selfishness cannot be ignored either academically or practically.
It passed through my mind like light and left me still smiling gayly at Colonel Royale's observations upon the situation.

So that if his work has what one may call its national side, it is because the author's temperament is thoroughly national at bottom, and not because this temperament is feeble or has been academically repressed. But the manifest fitness with which it takes its place in the category of French sculpture shows the moral difference between it and the work of M. Rodin.
"So long as Trinity College remains practically as it is there is a real grievance for all denominations except the Protestant Episcopalian, and the members of those denominations will still be able to say that the best education in the country and whether it is the best academically or simply possesses a greater social acceptance and prestige it is needless here to discuss is withheld from them, except on conditions that tempt their sons to abandon the faith of their fathers or to become weakened in their attachment to it."
