The School Review, Vol. 15

Excerpt from The School Review, Vol. 15: A Journal of Secondary Education; June, 1907 The case that we seek to establish would not be complete without the suggestion that the culture value of humanistic study should not be overlooked in the consideration of what should be the training of the prospective lawyer. We are too apt to forget. In these intensely practical times, that the professional man should be first of all the well-educated gentleman. The lawyer should be more than a lawyer, the physician more than a physician, the engineer more than an engineer. Each should have an educational basis that fits him for something outside of, and beyond, his profession. I would not for a moment claim that a man cannot be well educated without a knowledge of the ancient Classics, for such is not the fact, but that humanistic study stimulates the mind to seek what is best in literature and art, and furnishes a source of culture and entertainment that broadens the man, and enables him to have an appreciative sense of the value of things outside of the narrow limits of his specialty, cannot admit of doubt.

Excerpt from The School Review, Vol. 1: A Journal of Secondary Education; January, 1893 The teacher Of wide reading should make a lasting impression upon these boys and girls of fifteen, laying the foundation of what will later be a genuine literary culture. The amount of knowledge actually acquired may not be large; it will be like seed well sown, to come to an unfailing fruition later. Oral reading is included among the essentials Of first year En glish, because it is desirable that no educated person should be without this accomplishment. The extent to which our high schools neglect oral reading is deplorable. The observation once made by a critical teacher after a week of visitation in city high schools will not surprise any one, - that it was something of a consolation to know that the school she herself was connected with was not the only one that produced poor readers. It is Of quite common observation that the best read student is the worst reader; just as it is Often noticed that the man who leads his Class writes a wretched hand.
