Local Man Writes Open Lett
ter Making Startling Sug-
gestions Regarding
School Work.

That the study Of English litera-
ture should be abolished in the pub.
lie schools of the country is the con-
tention of A. J. Roberts, Of this city,
who recently wrote an open letter to
one Of the Twin City dailies, support
ing this contention. Whether all will
agree with Mr. Roberts is open to
argument, but The Times-Record is
glad to give the letter space.
At the educational convention to be
held in St. Paul in July it is hoped they
will make some effort to eliminte from
the public schools and universities the
teaching of English literature if for no
other reason than from a patriotic
standpoint.
It encourages students to look away
from their own country in their ideals
and fosters a vague enthusiasm that
is not followed up by facts. Most
of the literary style is made readable
only after Americanized and the
American language and the United
States should be given credit where it
belongs. Most of the English litera-
ture is of the dismal "Cotter's- Satur.
daylight" kind, and their Shakes
pearean stuff is pretty much of the
Matchmaking order and is a credit to
no country and should not be encour-
aged in the United States. Their roy
atty and aristocratic church and lodges
find expression in the cheap saloons.
rooming houses and restaurants in this
country, and a wholesome American
sentiment should be aroused so that
there will be a place here only for
patriotic citizens who will have the
welfare of this country as chief in
terest. Their scientific research has
availed but little good, excepting What
we ourselves have supplied, and it is
time for the United States to look to
it's own national affairs in the Sub
ject matter of the school and college
text books. This course should be fol-
lowed anyway, even If there was any
| thing worth copying in the transplant
ed literature The American literature
should sufficiently supply all that is
desired, forming, as it does, a distinct
American language of the American
speaking people. A. J. ROBERTS,
