Book Description
Excerpt from Pennsylvania School Journal, 1888, Vol. 37 Oh, dear! Can there be anything worse for a lively, mercurial, mirthful, active little boy than going to a winter district school? Yes. Going to a summer district school! The last is the Miltonic depth below the deepest depth. A woman kept the summer schools, sharp, precise, unsympathetic, keen, and untiring. Of all ingenious ways of fretting little boys, doubtless her ways were the most expert. Not a tree was there to shelter the house. The sun beat down on the shingles and clap boards until the pine knots shed pitchy tears, and the air was redolent of warm pine wood smell. The benches were slabs with legs in them. The desks were slabs at an angle, cut, hacked, scratched, each year's edition of jack-knife literature overlaying its prede cessor until, in our day, it already wore cuttings and carvings two or three inches deep. But if we cut a morsel, or stuck in pins, or pinched off splinters. The little sharp eyed mistress was on hand, and one look of her eye was worse than a sliver in our foot and one nip of her fingers was equal to a jab of a pin - for we had tried both.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pennsylvania School Journal, 1888, Vol. 37 It was a maxim of Raffaelle's that the artist's object was to make things not as nature makes them, but as she would make them, as she ever tries to make them, but never succeeds, though her aim may be deduced from a comparison of her effects, just as if a number of archers had aimed unsuccessfully at a mark upon a wall, and this mark were then removed, we could by an examination of their arrow marks, point out the probable position of the, spot aimed at, with a certainty of being nearer to it than any of their spots. We have most of us heard of original sin, and may perhaps, in our modest moments, conjecture that we are not quite what God or Nature would have us to be, Raffaelle had something to mend in humanity. I should like to have seen him mending a daisy, or a pease-blossom, or a moth, or a mustard seed, or any other of God's slightest work! If he had accomplished that, one might have found him more respectable employment, to set the stars in better order, perhaps (they seem greviously scattered as they are, and to be of all manner of shapes and sizes, except; the ideal shape and the proper size), or to give us a corrected view of the ocean, that at least seems a very irregular and improvable thing; the very fishermen do not know this day how far it will reach, driven up before the west wind. Perhaps someone else does, but that is not our business. Let us go down and stand on the beach by the sea - the great irregular sea - and count whether the thunder of it is not out of time - one - two - here comes a well formed wave at last, trembling a little at the top, but on the whole, orderly. So, crash among the shingle, and up as far as this gray pebble. Now stand by and watch. Another! Ah, careless wave, why could not you have kept your crest on? It is all gone away into spray, striking up against the cliffs there - I thought as much - missed the mark by a couple of feet. Another! How now, impatient one! couldn't you have waited till your friend's reflux was done with, instead of rolling yourself up with it in that unseemly manner? You go for nothing. A fourth, and a goodly one at last! What think we of yonder slow rise, and crystalline hollow, without a flaw? Steady, good wave, not so fast! not so fast! Where are you coming to? This is too bad; two yards over the mark, and ever so much of you in our face besides; and a wave we had so much hope of, behind there, broken all to pieces out at sea, and laying a great white table-cloth of foam all the way to the shore, as if the marine gods were to dine off it Alas, for these unhappy arrow shots of Nature! She will never hit her mark with those unruly waves of hers, nor get one of them into the ideal shape, if we wait for a thousand years.

It is the latent energies of trained and disciplined womanhood. If we develop these in 'the direction of the func tions and occupations of men, not only do we overcrowd these fields, but we lose all that entirely unused, undetermined force which we call, in the concrete, woman.

Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1894, Vol. 43 In secondary education, the grade be tween the elementary and the higher, only 60 per cent. Of the entire number of students are found in schools supported by the State. The fear was once general that the high school might be developed to the injury of the elemen tary, but this has not proved true in practice, as a constantly enlarging pro portion of pupils get their elementary training from the free school, and a like increasing proportion seek their higher training in private schools, some of which are of the grade and character of those known in England as public schools, i. E. Foundation or proprietary schools, which prepare pupils for college or university. The majority are, how ever, more in keeping With the grammar or day schools, which, in general, does the same work. As a rule, instruction goes on under the eye of the parent until the pupil is prepared to enter upon his work in college or university.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1873, Vol. 22 Many such children would become shining lights, and an honor to mankind; but leave them in their ignorance, and many of them will fill our jails and work-houses. To keep them there is a far greater expense, and the probabilities are far less that they will ever be Christians, than if you give them an education such as the State now affords them. But the system does not allow us to teach religion in any positive way! No. But it allows and even sanctions us to do a great deal that leads to positive religion. If that were all, we could also say that many Sunday-schools teach religion in no positive way. And yet we feel sure that Sunday-schools can be so conducted that they do teach religion. Shall we entirely abandon the great pet of America, be cause it fails in some hands and in some localities, to answer the end for which it was instituted? The remedy is in another direction. What is true of the Sunday-schools is, in this respect, largely true of the public schools. Place them in proper hands, and you will get good results.
