To the Editor of The Chicago Tribrne ¢ Bin: The writer, having carefully pornsed and compared tho articlos in Titx 'CrinuNe upon the 8bovo subjeot, dosirca to prosont what ho con- sidera tho roal causes of comploint. ar public-sohool instructors, undor the pros- ont fallacious mothods, lack what is known abroad as Podagogulsm. In other words, tho sorlos of inatruction and text books aro so com- posod nnd arrangod as effoctually to nquolch all ugofulnoss of tho pedagogue. Tho publishiora bolng in lesgue with leading churchmen and diviuos, which latier lond thoir namos and in- dorsoment, the former make tho furthor induoe- mont of &poll to tha educationnl dopartmonta for tho adoption of thoir worthloss trash, And all this is dono in tho faco of present intelli- gevceo, and, what is woreo, atan cnormous expense to tho publio trensury, and to the sorious dotri- mont of our youth, Can it bo otherwiso than that such flagrant evils as your contributora com.. plain of should follow ? Oldor nations than this Ropublic have gono through tha cruoial test, and from their oxporionce we mhould loarn a lesson, In Germany, toachors aro educated to impart knowlodge. It is a spoclal profession, aud rogu- lar seminarios aro ondowed by Government for thot purpose. And this not only in Gormany, but Franco, Italy, Austris, and Englaud, are fol- lowing in that diroction. Politicnl barnacles wonld, in that caso, become suporfluous, Tho ablost and fittest tonchors should bo placed in the importaut positions of School-Diroctors, who would understand that instruc- tlon of the American youth means to aducato him thoroughly (and not, in a parrot- liko manner, cram his? poor, weak brain with endless queries and answors, without his undor- standing tho priuciplo or ratfonnlo of the knowl- edgo he is to acquiro), and fit him for his future profession or calling, Physically, tho present Instruction mothod is a decided fallure, in that the childron aro over- taxed by the oxtraordinary tax putupon tho brain of "committing thoir volumiuous lossons to memory. ‘Tho ovil rosuits from that eannot be overostimated, The brain-volume suffers ma- torially, in that its dovelopment is intorrupted and its normal growth rotarded. Asido from that. a natural antipathy s exporionced by the child to scquiring a fund of useful information by this dry, unintereating mothod of learning and solviog prooloms, while tho only stimulant bold up to tho cbild is the bigh mark of distinc- tion abave its fellow schoolmate. So much for this anomalous stats of our school-syatem. Another and ntill more important ahortcoming in tho mothod pursuod by tho presont text-woriks in the more advancod grados of our schools, Astronomy, Dynamics, Physics, Phyuiology, Chomistry, Goology, and other abstract brauches of scionce, are either entirely ignored, or are tnuf,-hr. from o theological atandpoint, and tainted with such rotigio<logmatic notious as to make thom valuclons to tho studens, Such n work as Dr, E. Loowenthal's on the * Principles or Laws Rolating to the Spherical Molecular Movements,” and his wimilar work, **System and History of Nature,” 08 now extonsively used in Gorman schoals with astonighingly-good effect, would not rocoivetho indorsoment of our church-dignitarics, becauso arbitrary supornalurul powor is not 7ot a8 o prime cause of all the natural lawa, f“nr this Loewenthal has 0o room in hws work ; it i8 not in common with the priuciples of his prac- tical theories, which children can readily uuder— stand. But here such studies are still considorad a8 bolonging to a select fow, and aro most nys- toriously wordod and guarded in their tendenoy to gonora! information, or aro the higher schocls—anch ae semina- rios, colleges, and universitics—any botter off in thisrespect than our public schools, sinco the the- ologiansare thestumbling-block in thosslection vf the text-books, If a nation wishics to rear men of knowledge, culturo, nud statesmanship, it must eut looss from the decropid and woak-ayed dofimulnt. Thero wus & time when tho Church bad the education of youtl, but s pow ora as outgrown its hmited and coufined notions. If clergymen wera practical, thoir sphero of use- fulngss would bo amplo in toschung from their pulpits morality aud univorsal brothotbood, But the training and oducation of our children should bo feft to the secular Govornmont,—one that is untrammoled and freo from dogmas, Respectfully, JuLius BILVERSMITH, = i THE STATE SUPREME COURT.
