The Influence of Newspapers.

A school teacher who has been engaged for
long time 10 his profession, and witnessed the
influence of a newspaper upon the minds OF
family of children, writes as follows.
| have found it to be the universal fact, With
out exception, that those scholars OF both sex
es, and all ages, who have had access to news
papers at homo, when compared to those who
have not, are:
l. Better readers, cXcelllng In pronunciation
and consequently read more Understandings:
2 They are better spoilers, and define words
with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of geog-
raphy in almost half the time it requires 9TH
ers, as the newspaper has made them acqualn-
ted with the location of the important places,
nations, their governments and doings on the
globe.
IA. They are better grammarians for having
become SO familiar with every variety OF style
in the newspaper, from the common place
advertisement to the finished and classical ora.
ton of the statesman, they more readily com
prehend the meaning of the text and consequent
ly analyze its construction with accuracy.
5. They write better compositions, using bet
ter language. containing more thoughts, more
clearly and more connectedly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for years beer
readers of the newspapers, are always taking
the lead in the debating societies, exhibiting +;
more extensive knowledge upon greater varie
ty of subjects, and expressing the views witt
greater Huency, cearness and correctness ii
