why Religious News is not Reported.
How comes it tlat baseball and horse
racing news is reported with great care
and fullness, while the leading religious
events are either ignored altogether or
indiferently reported? Is it not because
newspaper editors have learned that
persons who belong to the theatrical or
the sporting or the mercantile public,
buy their papers according as they find
in them full, prompt and sympathetic
treatment of theatrical, sporting and
market news; whereas religious people,
as such, do not discriminate in their
patronage of newspapers with a cores
ponding exactness? In other words do
religious people feel as keen an interest
in religious news as the baseball public
feels in baseball news or as the horse
racing public feels in the news of
horse-race? Do religious people to any
considerable degree choose one paper
rather than another because one paper
gives more prominence to religious news
than another, or treats it with more
sympathetic apprehension You can go
up one bench and down another at
baseball game and every man in the
crowd will tell YOU what papers of the
next morning will have full and glow
ing account of the match then In pro-

Belittiing Literature.

The disposition TO separate the reading
of the young from the reading of the ma
ture is of very modern development, and it
has resulted in the creation of distinct
order of books, magazines and papers. Not
only has there been great industry in au-
thorship, but great industry also in edito-
rial work The classics of literature have
been drawn upon not so much through Sc
lection as through adaptation. Great
works, whose greatness lay much in their
perfection of form, have been diminished
and brought low for the use of the young.
The accumulation of this great body Of
reading matter-we can scarcely call il lit
erature-has been largely in consequence of
the immense addition to the reading popu.
lation caused by the extension of the COM
mon-school system. When the children of
a nation are taken at the age Of five or six
and kept eight or ten years at school, and
this schooling becomes the great feature Of
their life dominating their activity and de-
termining the character of their thought, it
is natural that books and reading should be
largely accessory, and that the quality Of
the audience should largely affect the kind
of speech which is addressed 10 it. In a
general way this great horde Of young read
ers in America has created a large number
of special writers for the young, and read
ers and writers have been governed by the
American life which they lead.
Now the text books in reading which
have prevailed in our schools have come
under this infuence-an influence persua-
sive and unstudied rather than acute and
determined. The quantitatiye and not the
qualitative test has been regarded. BY no
preconcerted signal, but in obedience TO the
law of their social and literary life the
makers of reading books began TO disregard
English standards and TO fill these books
with the commonplace of their own writing
and that of those about them. They los
their sense Of literature as fine art and
looked upon it only as an exercise in elocu-
ton and the vehicle for knowledge, or, at
the highest, for ethics and patriotic senti-
ment. They lost also their apprehension Of
the power of great literature in its wholes
and made their books collections Of frag-
ments. There are two facts which signally
characterize the condition of the popular
mind under this regime-frst, that litera-
ture is relegated to the higher grades as
something to be studied, and, secondly, that
the newspaper is advocated as reading book
in schools. So remote has literature come
10 be in the popular conception.
