The English Language

Ii cannot be doubted that English
literature il beyond all comparison the
;.mplest, the most various, and most
plendid literature which the world has
seen; and it is enough to say of the
English language that it is the Ian
guage of that literature. Greek liter
ature compares with English as HON.
er compares with Sbakspere, that is, as
infantile with adult civilization. II
may further be ssId of the English lam
guage that it is the native tongue of
nations which are pre-eminent in the
world by force of character, enterprise,
and wealth, and whose political and
social institutions ha ,e higher moral
interest and greater promise than any
which mankind has hitherto invented.
To the original creations of English
genius are to be added translations into
English of all the masterpieces OF
other liieratures, sacred and profsne. 1t
is a very rare scholar who has not learn
ed much more about the Jews. the
Greeks, or the Romans through English
than through Hebrew, Greek or Latin
And now, with all this wonderful
treasure within reach of our youth.
what is the position of American schools
and colleges in regard to teaching
English ? Has English literature the
foremost place in the programmes of
schools? BY no means; at best only a
subordinate place, and in many schools
no place at all. Does English take
equal rank with Greek or Latin in our
colleges? BY no means; not in the
number and rank of teachers, nor in
the consideration in which the subject
is held by faculty and students, nor in
the time which may be devoted to il
by a candidate for degree. Until
within a few years the American col
leges made no demand upon candidates
for admission in regard to knowledge of
English; and now that some colleges
make a small requirement in English.
the chief result of the examination is
TO demonstrate the wOful Ignorance OF
their own language and literature which
prevails among the picked youth Of the
country.
Shall We be told, as usual, that the
best way to learn English is to study
Latin and Greek? The answer is, that
the facts do not corroiorate this inn
probable hypothesis. American youth
in large numbers study Latin and Greek
bur, do not thereby learn English.
Morevef, this hypothesis is obviously Ia
applicable to the literatures. Shall We
also be told, as usual, that no linguistic
discipline can be got out of the study OF
the native language? How, then, was
the Greek mind trained in language?
Shall we be told that knowledge of En-
glish literature should he picked ul
without systematic effort? The answer l.
first, that as matter of fact this knowl-
edge is not picked up by American
youth; and, secondly, that there never
WAS any good reason to suppose that IT
would he, the acquisition of a competent
knowledge of English literature being
not all easy but laborious undertaking
foran average yout--hnot a matter of en-
iertaining reading, but of serious study.
Indeed, there is no subject in which
competent guidance aud sytematie in
struction are of greater value.-Chas.
W. Eliot, President Of Hdrrdrd Uni

Whether We agree with Mr.. Beecher,
or not, few men can speak or write on
any subject of public interest with so
great certainty that everybody will
want to know what they say. In dis
cussiug the question as to how far
ministers may properly go in politics,
which he does in the North american
RerieU for February great preach
er shows himself to advantage perhaps
all the more because it il a matter that
touches him personally as well as pro-
fessionally. In the same number of the
Review, the question, How shall the
President be Elected ~ is ably treated
by five happily chosen writers, viz,
two United States Senators, Dawes and
Vance; college president, f. A. p.
Barnard, of Columbia; a New York
lawyer, Roger A. Pryor; and a well.
known journalist, William Purcell.
The substantial agreement of four of
them on the same is sis nificant. An.
other notable article in this unusually
strong number is review of "Holmes
Life of Emerson" by the veteran his.
tarian George Bancroft; and still anoth-
er is an essay ty Prof. e, A. Young on
"Iheories regarding the Suns Corona"
which he skillfully brings within popu-
lar comprehension. The Rev. DIR. w.
q. T. Shedd defends the dogma END

After considerable effort the fire was
