It is only recently that official opinion here has allowed it- self to question the excellence and outright superiority of the system. Official opinion has heretofore been largely based on Von Moltke's fam- ous dictum that the Prussian schoolmaster had made Prussia, and it would be interesting to know what the iron field marshal would have had to say about Prince Wil- liam s scnbertatle opinions, which were writgen when Von Moltke was still alive.
