ENGIIsH AND AMERICAN Yof-NG
AN English teacher in the United States -
furnishes TO l. pptncottS Magazine some in
terestlng contrasts between EagIisb ana
American schools and school children Wa
does not highly esteem our school agencies or
cur practice OF marking, or our examin atoms
from within instead OF from without Rut on
the whole the teachers position is more aTrse-
able, even III less remunerative, than In Eng
land. In the matter of discipline, al least. he
would rather manage a class of twantv
American boys than of twenty English. I" for
he would be sure OF being respected witbont
being feared, and according to his desert He
has found among American children "a more
genuine, spontaneous sentiment of regard for
their teachers than either In England or Scot
laHd-a sentiment utterly free from the cring
Ing submissiSeness which too often passes
muster in Engand as a juvenile yirtueH ON
the Other hand, he would rather have an nm
educated young Engiishwoman for a pupil
than the more refined, ladylike, tastetuiy
dies g 4 American girl equally untausht FROM
the former he would, as a private tutor get
greater application and concentration than
from the latter, with her "mpatience of sus
tained, systematic work, combined with-or
rather caused by-her devotion TO social
pleasures" which nothing could induce her
to fOrego. This he found the defective trait
OF the American character, especially of the
wOmen-"a want Of repOSe."
