1 The London Saturday Review thus discusses
U8 proposition to substitute newspapers for
fading books in oar pablio schools:
! Travellers generall may be divided into
wo classes, fashioned after the model of the
die and Industrious Apprentice. The Initia
tions traveller in Europe does all the ploture
lalieries, cathedrals, and rains, whilst his lazy
timpanion lounges through a couple of streets,
'a America the great object of the industrious
iraveller is to see, and of the idle traveller to
avoid seeing, as many schools as possible. It
the one defect in the general hospitality of
Americans that they cannot realize the exist
ence of the latter class, few of them can be
lieve that a man may sincerely, and from the
bottom of his heart, object to being converted
for the time into a volunteer inspector.
Svery one who has ever visted America
has therefore been dragged through a
perles of schools, has duly admired the viva
city of the children, and has listened to the
declamation of a certain number of poems and
orations. Such persons will be gratified by
hearing that in the city of Philadelphia they
will not in tutnre be annoyed by the mangling
of standard literature. The poor old frag-
ents of poets and orators will be allowed to
ett in p-a.se, and infantile organ will be
raotised on the viler material of the daily
spapers. The motive, however, of the
nge is not any relief to travellers. The
iig generation will, it seems, be mile ao-
mteu Willi "Congressional debates, state
Airs, wars and their causes, accidents,
opds and fires, great publio Improvements,
to., subjects upon which the youthful mind
ill feed much more profitably than upon
")autiful orations or pathetic fancy writing."
naming this order to be genuine, there is a
ireshing naiveti about it whioh is charao-
.Urisdo of the country. American ideas
on such matters cannot be cruder,
i in some respects are certainly
'more intelligent, than those of the British
'middle classes; but they are expressed with a
'beautiful simplicity, unrestrained by any fear
"of cynical criticism. This passage puts in the
plainest form what a large class really thinks
on both sides of the water. There is some
thing, indeed, rather more amazing than usual
to any one who has been a student of l'uila
delphia newspapers. If the infant iini is to
Ve ilavored by the food on which it is to be fed,
as the canvas-back duck contracts the taste
I of the wild celery, the Philadelphians of the
fnfnra n?ill Via a ram arlmVtlt yant.rAt.tnn. A
future will be a remarkable generation. A
i philosopher may be insulted by the pleasing
nickname of a booK-tn-uree.!iiej; but a newa-
paper in pants, to use the dialect of the coun
try, is a far less pleasant phenomenon. Ame
rican newspapers, outside of New York, no
where rise above the level of the provincial
press in hngland, and it is terrible
Vto think of one of the numerous
heralds or Mercuries of oar native
rand1 taking llesh and walking abroad among
US. A youth who bad learnt politics by
tponting the "editorials" of a provincial
newspaper, whose imagination had been en
riched by its poet's comer, and whose miscel
laneous information was derived from the
column ia which one line informs ns that a
melon has been raistd in Fottsville, Pa., mea
suring two feet in ciroumference, and the next
that seventeen murders had been committed
in Texas in ten days, would have a singularly
constituted mind. It is strange that any hu
man being should propose to saturate the
youthful intellect with third-rate newspapers.
and to sink the faot that any greater masters
of, literary composition ever existed than those
wtto provide daily intelligence for the inhabi
tants of Philadelphia. Most of us feel the
need ot some sort or intellectual um
brella to ward off the pelting Bhowers
of information which descend upon us from
a oloud of periodicals. We are anxious to
cultivate a profound ignorance of some of the
stores of useless knowledge which are thrust
upon our notioe. But here it is proposed to
take the unoffending youth of a whole olty,
and inoculate them from their earliest years
with a taste for the consumption of rubbish.
We oan only hope that their digestions will
ultimately revolt at the insipid meal, and
that Philadelphian teachers will discover the
urDrisinz fact that their newspapers are
drearier than even the Btandard writers of the
English language.
Aid yet we feel a certain hesitation in
(peaking positively of the matter. If we
toko the adult Englishman or Amerioan who
his reoeived an average education, we might
finoy that he had been instructed pretty much
os the plan described. The objeotion to plung-
) tog infants into premature newspaper read
1 1 tog would be founded not so much on the fact
U that it would be a bad preparation for their
J later studies, as that it would be only too
t w,n nli liba thorn. It. nrnnlil ha a Rtartlintr st.l.
" a
tistioal return which should show truly the
number of persons whose literary zeal ever
takes them beyond the dally papers for their
politics and the lighter part of magazines for
their amusement. Reading, so far as the
British shopkeeper is concerned, is coming to
be definable as the art by which persons dis
cover what the Telegraph or Standai d thinks
about the world in general: excellence of the
jtyle will soon be measured by the approach
hi$ it makes to the glowing beauties of the
j'elejraph'$ artioles; and it will be one more
itep, and not a difficult one, to teach the infant
pouth to lisp in aooeuts derived from the
iune source. On grand oooasions boys will
declaim the last flowery leader instead of a
passage from Shakespeare or Maoaulay. Those
poor old Btandard authors, who, it is true,
always received more respect than familiarity,
have a harder straggle than ever to keep their
beadi above the rubbish heaps of worthless
literature.
The tendenoy of whioh the Thiladelphian
ichool-teachers have given a grotesque illus
tration may suggest a more serious reaction.
It is an extreme corollary from the utilitarian
theory of some of our reformers, and brings
oat very neatly their special weakness. There
is no oountry where the advantage of some
mental training in some loftier branches of
knowledge than r.re attainable by means of
newspapers is plainer than in America. The
post characteristic fault of Young America is
its undervaluing of everything that has been
done beyond the Atlantio, and its prevalent
impression that America should have not
merely new creeds and new political systems,
bat a new multiplication table and new laws
of nature, The senBitivmess upon wmou we
lonietlmes rally our cousins is comparatively
I eupei fiolal and transient phenomenon. It is
natural enough that a country whose litera
ture is Btill provincial should be especially
leDbitive to opinions coming from the virtual
metropolis, and that a country in many
geiise young should have some of that un
8y vanity aud desire to be received on equal
(tiius amongst its betters which is character
Igtlo of the hobbledehoy stage of existence,
lint this is quite compatible with a more
jptply.seated conviction that the Amerioan
it t being of a superior order, whose merits
freDot as jet thoroughly recognized, but who
i, rpidly showing his superiority to all the
piles enunnibiieu m nit) da world, couse
,,nfutly, there ia no people noon whom it is
, desirable to impress ihn faut that some
Pofl could write Kngiiuli before the Declara
tion of Independence, and that there Is a
eUndard of cultivation and learning to whioh
thv have not at present even nearly ap
proached. They are suffering from very natu
ral dflusions of mental perspejtlve, which
n ake their own continent and epoch loom iu
t e vastest proportions, and they are sped illy
In ued of suoh oorrectives to their vision as
can be supplied at school.
But we cannot flatter ourselves that tin
moral bo obvious in their case has no applica
tion to us. There is, it is true, a large and
growing class of Englishmen which recog
nizes more or less dimly the. fact that there
are other oountries beyond the British Chan
nel, and there are some foreign civilizations
which are not quite unworthy of notioe.
There is also a class, though not so rapidly
increasing, which is aware that a few books
were written, and a few things done, before
the nineteenth century which may be studied
with some show of profit. Still, the measure
of the Philadelphian sohool teachers only em
bodies a sentiment analogous to the oommon
English sentiment that "Janius" or the
wiiters of the Spectator would be seoond-rate
scribblers at the present day, and
that there is more good writing ia
the daily press than would have
fitted out a first-rate author of the
past. The answer which is generally made to
this, and to the often-quoted comparison be
tween the iimi.tand Thucydides, or between
knowledge of the Mississippi and the Ilissus,
rather laws to allow lor the hair-truth con
tained In those assertions. The obstinate de
fenders of the old classical system are apt to
dwell too extensively upon the advantages of
the training which It confers upon the mind,
without insisting upon the substantial value
of the knowledge imparted. They aooept the
position of their antagonists, and admit that a
youth who has been trained for many years
in olassios or mathematics is then to forget all
about it, and take to some purely utilitarian
study. They argue that they have put so
fine a polish upon his intellectual powers that
he is to be able to take up with effect any
study ho pleases. Now, it is only natural that
their opponents should feel a difficulty in be
lieving that a man who is to devote his whole
faculties to certain pursuits is the better for
having previously sharpened them on
something which is to be entirely laid
aside. If, after sharpening your razor to
the utmost, it is only to be used for
cutting blocks, one can hardly resist a suspi
cion that the sharpening has been more or less
thrown away. Neither can it be denied that
our present educational system is liable to
some extent to this blame, and that in some
interpretations at least of its merits the theory
seems to be involved that a study which is
useful in after-life is necessarily useless as a
means of training. If classical training, for
example, were founded on a more intelligent
method, and such superstitions as that of ex
cessive verse-making were effectually laid, the
answer to the Philadelphian heretics would be
much plainer, because they would more easily
reoogmze the utility of a study which should
be no longer ostentatiously unsuitable to any
one but schoolboys. They might perhaps be
induced to recognizs the advantage which a
man derives from having some acquaintance
with the world in a large sense, and from hav
ing, as it were, an intellectual anchorage be
yond the very unstable and shifting sands of
provincial journalism. But to meet effeotually
the prejudices of which this is a ludicrous in
stance, some modification in the views of ex
treme purists is required, and it would be well
that they should provide themselves with
arguments plain even to the capacity of per
sons who believe in Philadelphian newspapers.
