The PRESS IN GERMANY AND IN
AMERICA.-ln the Wiener Brink and Han
dots-Zeitung we find an article on the edu-
cation of the American people, in which
the literary value of newspapers is men,
toned, and attention called TO the very
important fact that in America newspa-
pers are circulated among classes of i'll
habitants for whom in Germany they
have no existence whatever. Most of
the farmers in America it says. take
more newspapers than are taken i'm a
whole village in Germany. The young
State, Nebraska, with "A population OF
10000 inhabitants, has more newspapers
containing a greater variety Of reading
matter than Holstein. with its COG. 900 in
habitants."
These comparisons might easily be ear
ried much further. There are very few
cities in America of only 10000 inhabi-
tants which have not at least one daily
newspaper. In Germany, on the other
hand, there are very few such cities i'm
which a daily paper is published. And
then, the weekly papers! II may almost
be said that in America there is no village
so small as not to have its weekly paper.
True. these appear needy and insig-
nificant in comparison to the gigantic
newspapers of the large cities, but how
rich and manifold are they not in COM
parison with the petty insignificant pa
pers of Germany! Besides. these coun-
try newspapers are by no means the only
literature of American farmers; on the
contrary they take besides these. the
weekly editions of the newspapers of the
larger cities, agricultural, religious and
literary journals. True. the education
thus dflused is not so profound as TO be
satisfactory to professors of German uni
versities, but there it is incompar,-
bly, more general than the edu-
cation of the masses i'm Germany. Ger
man education may be compared to deep
streams, and rivers, between which
stretch wide tracts of barren land:
American education, on the contrary,
may be compared to a system of irriga-
ton, in which innumerable brooks and
streamlets are employed.-Hlinois Stats
