HIGH LICENSE IN PENNSYLVANIA

A high-hcense bill went to it's sec
ond reading in the Pennsylvania House Of
Representatives on the 18th of February.
There were entertained strong hopes Of its
passage by both houses, Ii this should
result, it will place the Keystone State in
the vanguard Of progress The high
license movement has been steadily gain
ing in strength, and to-day numbers
among its adherents some Of the most
thoughtful reformer5 of the age. The
Philadelphia Record speaking Of the Penn
sylvania bill, says the popular approval
with which this bill has been received in
Pennsylvania has been almost unexam-
pied. From every part of the State came
words of Endorsement and the voice of the
newspaper press is almost unanimous in its
favor The reason for this, it adds, is
plain. The measure gives promise Of
working great and important changes in
the liquor traffic if it becomes law. Pos
sibly one-half of the 5000 liquor saloons
in Philadelphia would be closed by such
measure, and the remaining 5000, while
amply suficing for the convenience of the
bibulous portion Of the community, would
be those Of the better class Reputable
iguor-dealers, says the Record, have them
selves quite as much interest in the passage
of such law rs any other class Of citizens.
In addition TO the great advantage which
would follow the closing up of most of the
dives and disreputable places in Philsdel
phia will he the large sum which the high
license fees would bring into the county
treasury. ain Philadelphia the amount
would be considerably more than 81, $780,
coo. The experience of other States has
been uniformly favorable to high hconee.
Wherever such measure has been tried it
has been more than satisfactory. The
times are ripe for such Legislation. In this
State the people demand it The Leg;sla-
turc is not likely to prove deaf TO the
popular voice.

ELOCurIOH IN SCHOOLS.

The San Francisco Cal thinks the teach
ing of clocution might be dispensed with
in the public schools. At least it can gee
no reason why girls should be trained in
that branch. Moreover it points out that
true eloqucnoe is "the outburst of the
mind, which will be impassioned or other
wise according 10 the nature Of the subject
and surrounding circumstances" There
would be something more tangible in our
contemporaries criticism, if cloquenoe and
elocution were Synonymous. Eoeution
relates wholly to the manner of reading
and speaking, the method on the rostrum,
and the art Of delivery. There may be
cloquenoc without the arts Of elocution,
and elocutioniary art without eloqucnoc.
SO far as the teachings Of elocution go they
instruct in correct pronunciation, in
method Of easy delivery, in effective read
ing and grace of the person upon the stage.
We cannot see how it can be disconnected
from tho teaching Of the art OF reading,
and 70 that extent there is Just as much
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-03-07

reason for teaching girls as boys in the art.
The schools, by reason of the multiplicity
of studies crowded into them, are neglect
ing the elocution of reading. Good read
ers among pupils of the common schools
are exceptional Instead of eliminating
elocution from the common school curri-
culum, we hold it to De essential-one of
the fundamental branches. 1t is an abso-
lutely indispensable adjunct Of the three
RS" The pupils in common schools
should be taught to read well, both from
the printed page and from memory );
to read not only aloud" but as
well TO "read facing auditors" 1t
follows that they should be
taught to read etiectively-to interpret, in
other words-and this is the highest form
of elocution as contradistinguished from
oratory. Gesticulation-which the Call
holds to be uselessly taught, since nature
is the best teacher of appropriate gesture
is not necessarily part in the teaching of
elocution 1t is one of the graces of that
art The highest form Of elocution is ex-
preston, and that is one of the things in
which art may improve upon nature-in
which school teaching Is backward The
ready, expressive and graceful reader is in
large part well educated. The error into
which our contemporary falls is in con-
founding elocution and oratory, and in the
assumption that 50 much of Evolutionary
art DIS is taught in the schools is aimed at
the making of public speakers. While
every citizen in a republic should be sufti-
GENTLY cultured in the art 10 express him:
self as a sovereign in the councils of the
sovereignty, whether it be trade cham
Der, ward meeting or the halls of legis-
lation, we do not know of any schools sup
ported by public funds where elocution is
taught with view to that culture. But
it is, or should be, taught to such an ex-
tent as to make the children of both sexes
fluent, expressive and effective readers, to
say nothing of the cultivation of the art of
reading equally as we'll from memory.
