Are We A Reading Peoplee

It is the boast of the patriotic
statistics-maker that we are a "read-
ing people," In proof of the state
ment he lays before US a startling ar
ray of books yearly issued, and the
enormous circulation of newspapers
and magazines. No doubt we hold
an easy pre-eminence in this respect,
measuring the reading accomplished
blythe linear yead; but are we aread-
ing people in the sense that our read
ing brings us solid good?
There is, it is to be feared, far too
little systematic reading nowadays.
Not that the opposite habit is a nov
ell one, for unsystematie reading has
doubtless been the general rule since
the making of many books began
But as the number and variety of
booksincreases, it becomes more than
ever needful to exercise discrimina-
ton in the choice of books, and a firm
will in rejecting what ought not to
be read. The mental appetite, like
the physical, must not be INDUCED
with crude and hurtful food. Sir
Thomas Browne discerned, when the
danger was far less, the unfortunate
side of the multiplication of books.
There was already he said, too many
in the world in his time. otis not
a melancholy altman of my own, but
the desires of better heads, that there
were a general synod-not to unite
the incompatible difference ia relig
ion, but for the benefit of learning,
to reduce it as lay at first, in a few
and solid authors; and to condemn
to the fire those swarms and millions
of rhapsodies, begotten only to dis
tract and abuse the weaker judg-
ments of scholars, and to maintain
the trade and mystery of typogra-
piers" 81.
But if we may not adopt the quaint
old Doctors sweeping remedy for
the disease Of many books, we may
at least do something to correct the
pernicious habit of indiscriminate,
purposeiess reading.
And here, we think, parents and
teachers are much at fault, in that
they do not endeavor to train the
young people in their are to healthy
reading habits. Especially are teach
ers blame-worthy in this matter, since
upon them, in more cases, rests the
chief responsibility for the mental
training of the young. Thousands
of bright and teachable young men
and woman pass yearly from our high
schools and academies-to say moth
ing of Colleges-with heads stuffed
full with textbook knowledge; and
ct they have not, in the higher
meaning of the term, learned to read.
They do not know how or what to
read, they have nc taste for reading,
they have no knowledge of authors.

There was some chin music from

cradle alarm over his uncalled for
abuse and indecent denunciation of
the German citizens. After he exhib-
its himself as an old ''hass," and is
punched about it, he becomes very
bitter and makes a sickly attempt to
sit up on his immense amount ofdig-
nifty and intelligence. He is in his
dotage and the readers of the Regis

over his asinine righteousness. We
are inclined the same way, and pleas
antly look over his charges that we
attempted to incense the Germans
against him, or quoted anything he
did not say of them in his TRADE of
abuse. The Germans were justly in
censed before we made any reply TO
the article, which shows for itself
whether We put anything into his
mouth against them he did not ut
ter. We are not surprised at the old
man feeling bad and attempting to
wheedle out Of his foolish prediea-
