"Frederick II (The Great, 1740-1786). The young Frederick had been brought up in a rough school. His father's strict training and brutal ways made his life miserable. He could not gratify his waste for study, nor enjoy any liberty of action. Heavy tasks were imposed upon him and he was scolded and punished for the slightest disobedience. Once he tried to escape, but the attempt failed and his tutor who had aided him was hanged. He himself narrowly escaped execution by the decree of a court-martial. The king's death released him from this tyranny and he now found himself the inheritor of a strong state and a splendid army. He was ambitious of military fame and wished to raise Prussia to the first place among European states."&mdash;Colby, 1899

"Base Ball is a field game played principally in the United States. It originated in the English school-boy game of "rounders;" but it has been so improved and so generally played as to merit its name of "the National game of America." The plaing of baseball has become largely a business or a "profession," and skilled players receive large salaries. As an amateur game, however, it is also most popular."&mdash;(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

One day Professor Barker asked: "Fritz, what does c-a-t-s spell?" "Don't know." "Then pronounce r-u-n." "Can't." "Do you know what a c-a-n-e is?" "No; don't think I ever saw one." "Then you shall feel one right now," said the Professor, and he gave Fritz a whipping with his cane. Now Fritz can spell at least one word.
