Herbert Spencer in America.

HNAbSIb AVcubJl III hIIlCIlCd,
The visit of Herbert Spencer to this
country cannot fail 10 be greeted with
pleasure by all intelligent Americans.
Few Of his many admirers, indeed, are
likely to see him; for he comes without
any intention of speaking in public, and
expects generally 10 go about very
quietly. But, whether one actually sees
him or not, there is certain sort of
pleasure in feeling that one to whom we
owe SO much is at last in our country,
and is ceming into daily contact with
our ways of living and thinking. The
people of the United States NAV fitly
welcome Mr. Spencer as friend. 1t
has been said and, we believe, with
truth--that he has found greaternum-
Der OF intelligent and sympathetic read.
ers in this country than in England.
This sympathy may be partly due to the
strongly democratic character of Mr..
Spencer's political philosophy. His
earliest work, Social States" has al
ways found many Interested readers in
America; and, although'n some respects
1t does not represent the authors ma
tured opinions, there can be no doubt
It is the very best textbook of sound
democratic political philosophy that has
ever been published. 1t is pity that
all our Legislators could not have its
wise lessons inStilled into their minds
IN early youth, even as one learns how
10 compute compound interest or stud
les the rudiments Of history or geogra-
ply. Much jobbery and much ill-ad.
vlsed legislation would doubtless be pre-
vented,
Popular as the Social States has
been i was only ten years after its pub.
LEGATION that it began TO be known in
America Thirty years ago foreign lit
erature found It's way To this country
much more slowly than at present. 1t
was IN 1860 that Mr.. Spencer's name be-
gan 10 be somewhat generally known to
American readers; and the book to
which this popular reputation was
primarily due was the little book on
Education, Intellectual, Moral and
Physical" which was published in
America in that year, before its publ
cation in England. This admirable lit
Tie book has been very widely read.
The influence Of Mr. Spencer's views
is TO be seen very plainly in the changes
which have taken place in our system
and methods of education during the
past twenty years. Not only has there
been very marked increase in the rela-
tive quality of scientific study, but there
has also been notable improvement in
our methods Of teaching. To abandon
rote-learning, to stimulate instead of re-
pressing the natural curiosity of the pu-
pill, to strengthen the observing facul-
ties and the judgment, and, as far as
possible, TO appeal to whatever native
ingenuity the pupil may possess-these
are the chief desiderata in teaching

If Mrs Lydia Z, Pinkham has not really
discovered the Elixir Vitae, which the an
Gent Alchemists sought by so much patient
research and persistent experiment, her
medicine seems, at least, likely to command
an immense sale and universal popularity
IN the future. If rapid progress and emf
nent success furnish any basis for a correct
Judgment, Mrs. Pinkhsn is most prom
sing competitor for such honorable dis,
tinction as the alchemists failed to achieve.

Complaints in regard to shallow and
insufficient teaching are made in Eng
land rs well as in America. The essen
tia elementary branches are badly
taught there as they are here. Hand
writing, English and arithmetic, it is
said, seem to be considered of no posi-
BILE use to the pupil, but give them a
smattering of Latin and Greek, and per-
haps a little French and German, and
they leave school as excellent scholars.
A teacher writes to an English journal
II have a pupil under me who has only
recently left the town grammar school,
at the age of 16, after several years AS
n day scholar, at from thirty to forty
guneas year, and gather from him
that writing was not subject for teach
ing; English and grammar was occa-
sionally referred to; and arithmetic was
n home lesson. If the answers were
right, all well and good, it did not mat
ter how obtained; little or no working
was requiredto be shown"
