Sinopsis
Excerpt from Another Excursion Among Seats of Learning, Genuine and Spurious
We are here reminded that many friends of education whom we have never seen, while warmly thanking us for our criti cisms on some of the institutions on the Hudson, have asked us why we have passed Over the Catholic female institutions of the Hudson. Some Protestants who have had their daugh ters at the Sacred Heart and Mount St. Vincent have written to us rather feelingly on this subject, saying that, although the two pious but thrifty institutions mentioned may not have advertised the salt water of the Hudson, they possess several features in common with the great tappan-zee Seat of learning, if not still uglier features. To this we can only reply, that we have not passed over those institutions through fear either of Jesuits or politicians. And let those who doubt the fact turn to an article of ours entitled New Catechism for Young Ladies - Gods and Goddesses. This, we think, will Show how much foundation there is for the in sinuation that we are frightened by a cloak of sanctity and if it be not sufficient we can refer the curious to certain other criticisms in other articles and numbers. But having so lately fully described the sort of pabulum furnished at the Sacred Heart and St. Vincent, we thought it would hardly be necessary to do so again for some time. This, and this only, was our motive in omitting even to mention either in the paper alluded to.

Upon the other hand, we could not help feeling more or less disgusted with such military concerns as those of Peekskill, Tarrytown, Yonkers, and Claverack, because at these the military element was regarded so much as the great thing - just what schools were originally designed for - that it reminded us of the fable of the town in danger of a Siege when, the various persons who had axes to grind being allowed to give their opinions as to the best material for a fortification, on its coming to the turn of the leather-dresser, that thrifty personage gravely said: Gentlemen, you of course may do as you like, but if you want to fortify the town so.that we may all be safe, with our wives and children, as well as our property, there is nothing like leather.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the authorâs experiences visiting major institutes of learning. The author was shocked to find a stark contrast between educational institutions that thoroughly prepared their students, and others that neglected and sometimes even harmed them. In this book, the author meticulously describes these discrepancies, with names and anecdotes, providing readers with an up-close look at the state of education in the 1870s. Regardless of their location or reputation, the author praises those schools and colleges that prioritized comprehensive instruction and student well-being, while criticizing those that prioritized profit and prestige over the needs of their students. Through thought-provoking introspection and historical analysis, this book establishes a vital discussion about the purpose and quality of education, one which remains as relevant and important today as it was when the book was first published. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333272951_0
