The German army predisposes German education to ideas of organisation and discipline. Military and educational discipline go hand in hand....

But behind all the forms of organisation (which would quickly crumble away unless upheld by and expressing some spiritual force), behind both military and ...

Without finished pronunciation speech and song of emotional ...

As evening approaches the merry-go-rounds are patronized, and crowds gather round singing and dancing parties. The dancers are young men linked hand in hand, who move about in circles, shuffle their feet, and sing in a very monotonous fashion. Many set to the preparation of the evening meal, and the valley and the hill-sides are aglow with fires and lights. Amusement, however, has not come to an end. Singing is kept up till the ...
