MENTAL DIETETICS.
A Lecture Delivered Thursday Evening, No
vember G, 1873, before the Teachers' As
sociation, b.y J. M. Guinn.
(Concluded.]
Nor was it much better in Latin.
Cicero would have sworn bigger oaths
than he ever hurled al a Cut aline, and
Horace have drank himself drunker
upon old Taterlen, could they have
heard us making their good Latin into
bad English. Even Socrates, the
"childlike ami bland," would have
been provoked to profanity, (andevery
classical student knows that he could
not swear), could behave heard our
version of his famous set to with the
sophists. The bringing out of the
beauties of the classics depends very
much who renders them into English.
Tope's translation of the llliad bears
about as much resemblance to the
translations made by the average col
lege student, as one of Hooka Jim's
speeches does to Governor liooth's.
There are no doubt many beautiful
passages both in the prose and poetry
of the classic authors, but they derive
at least half their charms from the
consideration of the time and circum
stances in which they were produced.
The author of our day who should
produce a poem of equal merit 1° the
very best of these ancient productions,
would neither make fame nor fortune
OUt of it.
The poetry of the ancients deals
almost wholly with external and ma
terial subjects. There is no delving
into the caverns of tbe soul; no roam
ing on the shoreless sea of spiritual
life. Homer's llliad, the best of all
ancient poetry, is inferior lo Milton's
Paradise Lost, Or Longfellow's Evan
geline. The dramas of Eschylus and
Sophocles, fall iinmeasurebly below
the tragedies of Shakspeare and the
comedies of Moiere.
11 is claimed that this long course of
training in classical studies, is neces
sary to give us command of language,
and facility in expressing our ideas.
What the student needs above all
other things in Ihe scholastic period,
is a training in the formation of the
habits of thought) and methods of
study that he can carry with him
when he leaves his college halls, and
enters that great school of life the busy
world.
A course of training in the ancient
( lassies, as we have seen, gives him
but meager food for thought, and the
methods of study that it fosters are
worthless, when applied to the acqui
sition ofg knowledge in other forms.
The garnering up of words in memory
is of little value, and if is immaterial
i i what way they are coupled togeth
ir, if they are empty of thought.
Words are the vi*hiclcs in which we
carry our thoughts to market, when
we have any lo carry.
What would he ! bought of that ag
riculturist who would charter a long
train of freight ears to carry lo mar
ket the products of a fifty-acre garden
patch? Vet this is very similar to
what this traditional system actually
does. It invests six years out of seven
in preparing vehicles to carry the
thoughts evolved in the remaining
year. The prevailing error of all sys
tems of education is the training of
the student to ring changes upon the
thoughts of others instead of teaching
him to evolve thoughts of his own.
There is a wonderful proclivity in the
present age to accept the "sign of an
Idea" for the idea itself, and to mis
take the symbols of thought for the
thing signified. Words, as I have
said, are the vehicles of thought; but
in this golden age of talk there seems
to be a growing propensity to run
empty trains of these vehicles over
our central railroads simply to make a,
showing of business and hereby run
up the price of our mental stocks.
Sesqulplnallan derivltfvcfc are as
plentiful as in the days of Horace, and
may be had for the asking, from Web
ster's or Worcester's verbal arsenals.
Hut for all that, it is exceedingly
doubtful whether a shot from these
long range rides of the dictionaries,
w ill wing an error or bring down a
usory so expeditiously and so effect u>
ally, as a slug from a Saxon blunder
buss.
Penury of thought and poverty of
power derive nt) more eflicacy from
words that run than from words that
creel). The modern novel and the
modern newspaper have done much
toward hurrying the soul out of our
many syllabled Latin derivations.
Fltz Charles Augustus, the lackadaisi
cal hero of latter day fiction, never
discloses the love that is playing the
mischief with his be-scented and be
dizened anatomy in blunt Saxon, but
drowls it out in inelllffiuous polysyl
labic derivations, and the modern edi
tor tires whole volleys of 100-pound
Parrott shells of invective, to bring
down some buzzing musquito of an
opponent,or he employs the vocabulary
of all its high-sounding lachrymose
expressions in mourning over the
death of liberty and the downfall of
the republic, because forsooth, his fa
vorite candidate for town constable
has met an inglorious defeat at the
hands of a corrupt populace.
■ Earnestness, whether in love or hate,
never seeks expression in smoothly
flowing derivatives, but always bursts
out in plain Saxon primitives. 1
doubt whether we gain very much
either in ethics or philology by thiß
habit of aesthetlcal word piling, that
calls a lie a deliberate dereliction from
the undeviatlng paths of moral recti
tude, that modifies theft into a heredi
tary propensity to peculation and
mildly stigmatizes a shameful fraud as
an undue earnestness for illegitimate
speculation. I believe that it would
be safer for our morals, if not for our
heads, to call a lie a lie, fraud, fraud,
and theft, theft. But to escape Irom
this dangerous ground. Undoubtedly
so much of the study of language,
and in such forms as are necessary to
its intelligent use. is demanded in edu
cation; but I confidently believe that
one years' careful study under a com
petent teacher of the best English
Los Angeles Daily Herald.
classics, would give a student a belter
command of language, more varieties
ol' expression, und v more pleasing
style of composition, than six years
spent iv bushwhacking the old Greeks
and Romans with grammars and lexi
cons, I doubt whether there are very
many among our bent classical
scholars who can always recognize a
derivation at first sight as an old Latin
acquaintance. 1 imagine that many
of them are In the same tix as myself;
forced to seek an introduction to these
former guests through our mutual
friend Webster.
Nor is this to he wondered at. In
passing from Latin to English the
words have assumed so many dis
guises, by reason or prefixes and suf
fixes, dialectic tonus, and orthographic
changes that their very fathers (if they
ever had anyj would not be able to
recognise them. The English lan
guage is descended from the An
glo-Saxon, and not from the Latin.
Willi all its mixture of foreign ele
moot- it is still a Teutonic language.
Its nearest blood relations are the
German and the French. Then, why
not spend a portion of the six years
we throw away in conjuring up the
ghosts of the dead languages In culti
vating our living relatives -the mod
ern tongues. It would he a father dif
ficult surgical operation to put a soul
under the " ribs of death "—it is just
about as difficult a linguistic feat to
put a spirit into the skeleton of the
dead languages. Our grief over the
death of Adam is very much assuaged
by the lapse of time since his demise ;
so arc the emotions called forth by the
trials of pious Kneias, the death of
Achilles, who seemond not to have
been " heeled" when he met the Tro
jan sports. A How of sympathy which
is being continually checked by re
course to a lexicon to find words to
express it in, will soon dry up. It
may be that my feelings are rather
perverse ; for 1 must confess that the
crooked hieroglyphics that make up
the Greek alphabet have caused me
more poignant sorrow than ever did
the tears of Niobe or the griefs of An
tigone. All this may seem lo you a
little foreign to the subject; but what
I am driving at is this: The diluted
knowledge of the classics that we get
iv a collegiate course is so divorced
from all feeling, by our difficulties in
rendering it into intelligible English,
that it never has any effect iv the for
mation of our style. To read with
profit a book in any lauguage we must
be able to give our whole attention to
the ideas which it Imparts, without
being embarrassed by want ol familiar
ity with the machinery through which
they are conveyed. These ideas will
certainly not be very vividly im
pressed upon our minds or vitally af*
led our styles of expression if every
Sentence brings us a new necessity to
turn over our lexicons, Of to guess at
its probable meaning by experiment
ing upon it with the rules of syntax.
The study of Latin and Greek be
comes necessary from the important
part they till in the structure of our
language. Hence we must study
these languages to understand Eng
lish. Would it not be well to study
English for the sake of understanding
English. The base u|m)ii which our
language is reared, is Anglo-Saxon,
and so is the greater part of the mate
rial used in the structure itself* Of
tiie one hundred and fourteen thou
sand words that make up our vocabu
lary over fifty per cent, of them are of
Saxon origin. The most profuse
among our best authors, in all their
works, never use over ten thou
sand different words. Counting the
words as they stand upon tbe pages of
the writers, and not as they would be
if arranged in a dictionary. It will be
found that the words used by all the
different authors upon all the different
subjects treated of, will range from
sixty to ninety per cent, of Saxon
origin.
Dr. Johnson was famous for using
Latinised derivations iv his writings,
yet even he used from sixty to seventy
per cent, of Saxon words.
For clearness of diction, smoothness
of style, beauty of imagery, and rich
ness of expression, there are few pieces
frf composition, ancient or modern, sa
cred or profane, comparable to some of
the chapters of the Book of Job. Yet
as these come to us in the English ver
sions ofthe Bible, they are written al
most entirely in Saxon.
If we are compelled to study the lan
guage of the old Greeks and Romans,
because some of their gibberish is
mixed with ours, why not study the
old Saxon before it was mixed. If we
study the Classics out of respect
to the bards aud philosophers of
Greece and Rome, why not study the
Saxon out of respect of our ancestors
who caved In the head of some of these
Old Romans, and did a line stroke of
business in a piratical way besides.
The verse of Cadinon, the prose of the
Saxon Chronicles, and the poetical
works of Robert of Gloucester, might
furnish interesting reading to many of
the rising generation, and probably in
crease their reverence for their ances
tors, that is, if any of them could trace
unbroken line of kinship back to these
fine old English gentlemen. Without
a Lexicon, the old Saxon is about as
intelligible to the student as old Greek.
He would secure the same amount of
mental gymnastics iv the one as iv
the other. Whilst the Saxon would
be his mother, or rather his great
grand mother's tongue, and the Greek,
a tongue neither his mother nor great
grand mother ever used. To the youth
witli abundance of leisure and ample
means to continue his study of the
Latin and Greek after he leaves col
lege, the traditional course would be
invaluable as a beginning lof he study,
but it would be only as a beginning; it
would take long years of study to ren
der these languages so familiar that
he would be able to read them as
readily as he does his own. To the
man of letters who [aspires to the
higher walks of literature, a know
ledge of the Classics is necessary. To
the great mass of American youths
who graduate from our colleges and
who are compelled by necessity to win
their own way, aud light their own
battles in life, the time spent upon
these studies is simply thrown away.
To tho boys and girls of our high
schools and acadamies, who for a
year or two are haunted by the ghost
ofth old Greeks and Romans in the
horrid shapes of grammar and readers,
the smattering that they get from
these studies, often becomes in alter
life a sort of ignis fatuus or will-o-the
wisp, that many times entices them
into the sloughsand quagmires of con
cert and assumption.
Failing then as preparation for the

subsequent struggles and conflicts of
life, inferior to the physical science as
a mental discipline, possessing no pre
eminence over modern literature in
beauty or diction, or depth of thought,
there are yet more potent and unan
swerable objections to the traditional
system of mental culture.
Tiie mind bears the Impress
through life ol' tbe character of
the knowledge it acquires during
the scholastic' period. Its mental
habits are then formed its intellectual
basis then given. This constant
dwelling among anil continual con*
temptations of the things of the far
past, which is the necessary concomit
ant of the traditional system alienates
the mind from all interest in and
sympathy with the things of the
present, It begets a spirits of Intoler
ance to all reform, and engenders a
feeling of hatred to all progress, it
teaches to bow with unquestioning
submission to authorities, ami obey
with servile humility the dicta of
leaders and the dogma of creed. It wor
ships with (he oriental reverence the'
ialsehoods of the past, but spurns with
contempt the truths of tin- present.
It wastes the seed time of life in the
trivialities of conjugation and para
digm, and debauches the minds of
youth with silly fables, and the inde
cent amours of heathen gods, it grows
learnedly critical oyer a Greek ode,
but passes unheeded that grand epic
written by the finger of < Jod Upon the
strata of the earl h.
The bitterest foes to the scientific
discovery, and the most unrelenting
enemies to the freedom of thought in
the centuries that are past, were to be
found among the schoolmen of the
universities and the monasteries, and
to-day the most obstinate opponents
to every truth in tbe world of mind
and matter, are the narrow minded
conservatives among the college bred
men in our pulpits, on our rostrums,
behind the teachers desk, and upon
the editorial tripod. These are the
worshippers of the things past, the
prophets of evil for things to come.
To them tbe charncl bouse of antiq
uity holds all that Is good, all that is
true, all that is beautiful. The pres
ent is anathema manatha, the abom
ination of desolation spoken of by the
prophet. Oh! the sighs and the groans
of these good mortals over the degen
eracy of the limes, over the wicked
ness of tbe world, over the sins of fall
en humanity. To listen to their sad
refrain you would be led to believe
fjhat in the good old days, the brave
old days, all men were saints and till
women angels; you would really be
lead to believe that tbe vices had made
a meal of all the virtues, and like poor
Oliver Twist were still crying for
more. - Tbe world is far from being as
good as it might—as it will be let us
hope. But for all its wickedness, it is
hardly yet in the fransision period
from perfection"to putuiciilonium.
I sincerely reverence all thai Is good,
all that Is tine iv the past, but I dis
like to be told that Ihe men and the
women of to-day, are merely playing
the part of puppet or villain upon the
world's stage, in a drama of Doom.
It is well to tell the world of its sins
and wickedness, but to tell that it is
till sin, till wickedness is the readiest
way to make it so.
1 would have no objection to these
dear old conservatives, or young ones
either, at groaning as much
as they like if they enjoy il, and it
makes them happy; but I do object to
their continually whistling "down
breaks" on the car of Progress, simply
for fear that the noisy thing may run
over somebody's belief, or collide with
somebody's prejudices that he mis
takes for principles. These rantitng
reformers and prying men of Science
who will suggest improvements, und
make discoveries that shake our faith
in the infallibility of our hereditary
opinions, severely task our powers of
forbearance, (I sometimes join the
conservatives when 1 want, to enjoy a
groan.) It is a great pity that ihe
19th century litis grown SO squeamish
about cauterezing for opinions sake.
If we could only bring out the old
gridiron of St. Lawrence, and roast
the heresy out of a few of those pes
tilential fellows, who tire forever kick
ing ever our hereditary opinions and
beliefs, what an example it would be
to the rest of them to let us alone. I
believe Unit all our troubles began
with the assertion that "the world
moves." If we could only get that
heresy out of peoples heads, all would
be like it was in the happy days of the
Past, it is a source of unfailing re
gret to us that those dear old cardinal's
who brought Gallileoto his knees, for
asserting that the earth is a huge ter
resteral top, forever spinning around
in space, did not Instead stand the old
rascal in the fire until the brassy im
pertinance melted out of him. if the
laws of primogeniture and entail could
only be made, as binding in the be
queathing 01* Beliefs and Opinions, as
they are iv Real Estate, then it would
be possible to inherit so many acres of
Creed, so many square rods of Princi
ples, so many links (broken ones) of
knowledge. If we could only reach in
the mental and moral world this
fixiety of things, then it would be pos
sible to take the altitude of integrity
by triangulation, and lo extract the
cube root of virtue. Then if a congress
men or a senator should forget his
honesty and leave it at home, as they
some times do, we could express it to
him at Washington in a bundle, as
we would his umbrella. But this mil
lcuium of Fixiety will never dawn
upon us while these prying Scientists
are allowed to make, aiid promulgate
their discoveries.
The sequel to all this is, that for a
steady mental and moral diet, the
things of Far Past are not the most
nutritiousor healthy.
Having dispensed with Ihe classical
curriculum of the colleges and leaving
Greek and Latin to be studied as the
Sanscrit, theChaldaie and other dead
languages, are by the curious in Phi
lology, what would I substitute in its
place? A thorugll course of training
in the elements of the Sciences and
English Literature, with the study of
at least two of the modern languages
the first thing in the course 1 would
place them last. Instead of disgust
ing a student with all study by com
pelling him to begin his course with
committing to memory endless rules,
conjugation, declensions, and para
digms. I would delight him with it by
teaching him lo analyze the proper
ties of such familiar forms of Nature
as plants, animals, and minerals.
Instead ot expatriating him to the an
cient world of Greece and Rome, I
would introduce him to more intimate
relations and sympathy with the
world iv which be lives.
Instead ofa single term of instruc
tion in Chemistry, consisting of a
course of dry lectures, illustrated by a
few experiments, I woupl have at
least a year with actual experiments,
performed by the student himself in
the labratory.
Instead of gleaning a meagre
knowledge of lit erature by spelling out
a few pages of the ancient classics, iv
the original, 1 would open to him the
richest treasures of Ancient and
Modern Literature in his moth
er tongue, with a knowledge of
the classics of his owo tongue
together with those of the German
and the French, it is hardly probable
that many of his ideas would perish
for want of suitable garments to cloth"
them la. Considering the pre-emi
nent value of science to our modern
civilization it seems passing strange,
and almost unaccountable that it
should till so suboi'diHuie a place in
what is called a liberal education.
Take away all knowledge of the
physical sciences, and you would des
troy one of the main pillars upon
which our modern civilization rests.
Take away all knowledge of physical
science and Lord MacCaulay's figur
ative New Zealander, standing on a
broken arch of the London bridge,
moralizing over the ruins of that great
city, would hecome an actuality in less
than half a century. The only blem
ish to the truthfulness of the ligure,
would be in finding means to trans
port the savage to the scenes of his
moral cogitations.
Take away all knoweledge of phy
sical science, if possible, and you
would start every enlightened nation
on the down grade to barbarism.
Leave science, but take away all
know ledge of tbe language of Greece
and Rome, and still literature could
utter her thoughts, commerce expand
her sails, agriculture push her plow,
aft ply her pencil, poetry weave her
images, und religion breathe her pray

Herewith I cestiry that Miss Josephine Lind
ley hps been a student Iv my department of
the I'niverslty for five consecutive terms, viz :
from September, 1870, to April 3d, 1872. During
i his time she studied the French, the Spanish
and the Herman languages, obtaining always
the highest marks for proficiency and attend
ance, her average credit mark for live terms
being 97 per cent
On entering the University, Miss Lindley
Possessed already such knowledge of the
reach and Spanish idioms as to be able to
speak them with ease, fluency, correctness,
and a pure pronunciation.
she may now be considered thoroughly fa
miliar with the theory and philosophy, as well
as with the application of these two tongues;
upd she may safely be recommended as a can
didate of great promise, for teaching the
French and Spanish languages.
