The Loss Through Modern Inventions.


The Inventors of printing, the tele-
graph, telephone, and even the railroad,
while OF benefit to man in many ways,
bring distinct perils to intelligence and
character. When there were none
OF these things, n little country
town in New Hampshire could pro-
duce such men as Ezekiel and Daniel
Webster, Gen. John A. Dix, William
Pitt Fessenden, Moody Courier ana
Moses G. Farmer. They had leisure to
study and to think. Their minds were
not overburdened with the details of the
daily news. They did not hustle TO keep
lin touch with public affairs. Matters
that were important enough to claim at
tention when they were no longer new,
literature Of permanent value, and ex-
amples of human excellence which had
made their mark upon the centuries were
presented to their minds i'll something
like due proportion. They had time TO
stody history, law and the masterpieces
OF literature; and they did study them.
Now the men and women who would
create for themselves a similar intellectu-
al atmosphere must study the art of ex-
clusion. They must consider the railroad,
the telegraph, the telephone, and the
printing press as inventions full of dan
ger unless and until they are put III
their proper places and held in strict
subsection. Like live wires. new expio-
siYes, and freshly discovered elements OF
matter they are dangerous, if carelessly
used. The loss of the power of attention
in college classes Ito which Prof Shaler
tcstifies, and which is n fact Of common
observatory may, in part, be explained
by the display of intellect caused by the
discovery of new ways in which it may
be frittered away upon trit1es.-Boston
