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 LOS ANGELES, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 187* L 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 ers to (rod, LINES OF TRAVEL.
