WHILE we unite with the Advocate in rejoicing that the system of voluntary recitations is to be thoroughly tested next year, we are not equally doubtful of the success of that system. The students who are to have the benefit of the privilege - those who have attained seventy per cent - are the very men who will not abuse it, and they are hardly complimented by the assertion that they will be "tempted to cut on any pretext." Their present high rank is a sufficient warranty of their future conduct, and we feel confident that they will not willingly permit the failure of the first step toward that freedom which is the highest incentive to manly work.
