AN ENGLISH WORKING MAN ON THE
AMERICAN WORKING CLASSES.
LETTER II.
BosToN, July.
(Concluded.)

Upon the subject of the system of teaching
pursued here | would speak with the greatest
diffidence but | must say that it appears to
me to be most practical and successful. The
first thing which impressed me was the very
superior tone of the teachers, and the next their
great number. There are no monitors. Every
pupil, from little toddlekins to his awful elder
in the cutaway coat and stand-up collar, comes
directly under the eye of a well-educated and
painStaking man or woman, who regards him
as an intelligent human being, whose intellect
ual development is a very serious matter.
There is a properly qualified teacher, with a
salary varying from $50 TO 1000 dollars q
year, to almost every cla@ of from thirty to
forty scholars. In very few cases is one teach
err allowed to attend to more than two classes.
Every infant, whether of the "terrible' or lisp,
ing order, has a desk and a chair to himself or
herself, the number of these separate seats in
the preparatory or infant schools alone amount
ing TO over 5000. In the preparatory schools,
besides the desk and chair, each child has a
slate with a wide frame, on which are copies of
the troublesome problems to be solved, in The
shape of parallel lines, curves, circles, letters,
and figures, which. are thus made familiar to
the eye of the poor little puzzled one. | am
not sure that five is not too tender an age to
begin with | am inclined to prefer the more
sedate period of seven but the little folk look
ed very happy and cheerful as they We're put
through their PAGES the other day. and am
told that every care is taken, by means of fire.
quent breakes and changes of study, to relieve
and interest them. "Now children" said a
happy-looking young lady (who would have
very well passed for the original of Holmes
.'school mistress'}, addressing some thirty
sturdy little people sitting in five rows at their
decks. Il want you to go through your exer-
cises, and mind that you do them nicely. At
tention p Up go the tiny heads with the pre-
cision of a line of grenadiers. Zone, two,
three, four p at each of which mysterious
words of command the FIVE rows of little bodies
are brought simultaneously into a different posi-
ton. s"Slates! p and sixty plump little hands
dive into the recesses of the desks and draw out
the weapons of study. Horizontal lines! !"
and in less time than it takes to tell it every
boy and girl has produced three straight lines
which are almost exactly at equal distance
from each other. Two little black girls have
their curly polls patted by the kind superin-
tendent as he hands them back their states
after our inspection, and of course their lines
now being laid in pleasant places, their task is
as faultlessly executed as any of the others.
Spelling was next commenced by one young

wood and drawing of water in the course of a
generation or two If all the people are to be
turned into ladies and gentlemen? Well, | am
inclined to think the problem is being solved as
it arises. BarristerS in the gold diggings cheer
fully consent to stand up TO their knees in
water, and do all sorts of 'menial'' work las if
any honest labour could be menial), because,
on the whole, the pay is good. Even so, ladies
and gentlemen, you will always be able to get
other ladies and gentlemen to build houses and
make dresses tor You, if you pay them well for
doing so. What you will not be able to do is
to ride about, and direct, and be paid enormous
prices for your anxiety of mind and labour in
conducting voluntarily chosen business, while
people who will be in every particular your
equals are doing work which you would rather
be excused from doing. Bricklayers here are
getting FIVE dollars a day, but the more elegant
pursuits are not remunerated so highly
A very amiable and faultleSsly attired young
gentleman of my acquaintance, who came from
England to better himself, told me only yester-
day that the conduct of the bricklayers is SIM
ply disgusting for, said he, "while these COM
mon fellows for laying bricks get their FIVE dol
lars a day, a man like me gets but from two to
two and a half!' | did not tell him so, but I
may tell you, that | am rel oiced to find that it
is so The labour of mankind has been ap-
praised at fancy prices long enough. Can
there be a moments doubt as to whose work is
of most value to humanity, that of the man
who makes a house, or of the one who tempts
young gentlemen to invest in the last sweet
thing in India Seer-sucker sack coats p Ex-
actly in proportion as the reluctance to engage
in manual lab0ur increases among a people,
the wealth, and consequently the power, will
shift away from the ornamental classes into the
hands Of the Self-denting and the solid. Also,
as education becomes general, the instinct of
duty will be appealed TO more widely, and the
dignity of work allowed, until as a clergyman
is now sometimes found who will remain in his
poor living when an extra hundred a year is to
be obtained elsewhere, and as doctors perform
the most revolving operations without loss Of
selErespect or the respect of others so will
the men who are ftt@l by constitution and tenn
permanent accept the role of what is now called
humble life, and amidst a more wholesome and
logical public opinion bear with dignity their
fair share of the burden which God has laid
upon US all. In that day all men will be. held
equally honorable who do their duty what
is called good breeding will be more general,
and the word society will have lost its spe-
cial and obtained a wider. Specification. Am I
too sanguine 1t is possible, but on my honour
| think there are signs of the approach of dawn.

The mist Ike that mothers nakr-cOuu
try mothers, who bring a batch Of girl
to town during the season-is i'll think
ing that they can get them off easie
than in the country. There is n no
ton moe delusive than this. First u
all, abe young ladies enter the ar"n;
against ~numbrTlrSs competitors. They
have, indeed, Il chance at the set out
but this S''dUin lasts more than a dozpr
Or 50 OF balls and morning concerts. BY
that time the men in the circle lut"WhlrE
they have been brought have criticised
them thorou 1hly, and marked them down
fm some special points, perhaps, but
seldom for more. Even the young gen
tlemen whom they have known in the
rural districts treat them with considor-
able and almost impairment indepen-
dencr when they meet in town.
Then, again.. the srason> is taken BY
them at SO rapid a pace That there is
scarce tame tr business. The afternoon
tea, if wei established, is abou, the only
situation in which d young lady las a
fair chance Of using her power Of chi
versation, though lately the opera has
been found Of service As a talking place.
There are thousands Of girls i'll London
at this moment brought hitler simply
for the Aurpose of enjoying ~tllemae'vps,
and with only collateral views toward
marriage. But though their mothers
mary be qnipt content to return with
them as they came, still there Is a lii gel

that luck and ropinquity may he!ptE,rm.
Now the pr portion of marriages which
arise directly out tf the dinners and

would venture to say, less than the

The London season was perhaps never
fuller than it is at present. The num-
herot reunions of a | kinds has increased.
The crush in the row is greater than it
has been for many years. Young ladies'.

perhaps three balls have to ba done with
