EVENING EDITION.
T1IK PUBLIC-SCHOOL IPr NEW
KnGLlKD A FAILUKE.
We make it a point to read nearly
everything we see from the pen o
Kichard Grant White. As a critic
ot Shakespeare he ranks with the
first. His fame is European. Mr,
liolfe, in his admirable edition of the
rc-at dramatist, says if he were to be
restricted to one edition of Shakes
peare he would prefer White's. Bat
t
.Mr.-White is not only a very able
critic, but he is a most instructive
and enjoyable writer. Ilia papers on
Eugland are quite delightful, whilst
his two books on the English lan
guage are valuable and edifying.
Air. White has a very significant
paper in the December namber of
the North American Review, entitled
-The Public School Failure." Cora-
i' from a Northern writer of so
iiiuch influence and celebrity the pa-
i r id most noticeable. Bat we do
nut, purpose dealing with but one
p ir.t he raises. It is a point that
yii-irs ago we touched upon inthese
o)luaiii, and we are glad to find
oarselves sustained by the large ob
servation and extended inquiry of so
acute and able an author. The point
raised is Mai education is not a pre
centice or cure of crime. Such enthusi
asts and religiou3 agnostics,as the late
Horace Manu believed that education
wa the great panacea of the age
the universal catholicon. Educate
t!ie people intellectually and crime
would disappear. We insisted then,
and insist now, that moral training
iiiorc necessary than mere intellectual
training. This is not the opinion of
uch very able writers as Buckle and
tnen of his school, but it appears to
be sound, nevertheless.
But let us see what Richard Grant
White has to say about the effects of
education upon public morals. Let
lis see if education alone is the great
corrective of vice and crime. Let as
see if crime is more prevalent in the
ignorant or in the more highly edu
cated States. What says Mr. White,
one of the ablest of Northern litera
ry men? We quote from page 547,
and the extract is long but it will pay
the reader richly. He says:
"For the census returns show that crime
irntaorality, and insanity are greater in
proportion to population in those com
muniiiea which have been long under the
icflaeoce of the public school system tbau
tUjy are ia those which have been without
it. The system, be it remembered, i3 of
New England origin, and the New England
3uie8 have been longest under its influence.
The aiates eouth of tbe Potomac are those
which were longest without it; and, indeed,
iu them it has hardly yet obtained favor or
(a -jtuold. Let ui compare the statistics of
population, of literacy and illiteracy, and of
crima in these two classes of Siate, care- I
fully eliminating from our calculation the
influence of foreign immigratioorupon the
criminal record of the Northern States
which the particularity of the census re
turns enables us to do. The comparison is
between the native white populations of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hmp
Ahire, Vermont, Maine, and Rhode Island
on the one hand, and the same population
of Delaware, Viriginia, Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia on
ihe other. These are all original States of
w ca(jibu; uut jnai q Wag
Always a part of New England.
"The census of 1860 shows that the New ,
i England Stales bad u native White popula- i
tioned above had S.lUl.Ub'J native wime in
habitants, among whom there were 202,803
adults who could not read and write. In;
the New England Stales, thereto! e, the na
tive whili8 who could Dot read and write
were La the proportion of one to 312, wlrl
in the six Southern States the proportion or
wholly illiterate whites was one to 12
Now, if ignorance ia the mother of vice, ot
crime, of wretchedness, and ot all that
goes to make up bad citizens, the xctss ot
the criminal classes in the Southern Stale
should have been in something like the pro
portion of 312 to 12 But it was not so. On
the contrary, the proportioual "excess of
ciime, of paupeiism, ot suicide, and of in
sanity (ami among tLe nalivo white iubabi
tants, be it remembered) was very much
greater in the New EogUcd State-; for ia
1860 they had in their prisons 2,459 crimi
nals, while the six Southern States bad but
477. New England society, formed uuder
the public school eystem, produced one na
tive white criminal to every 1.084 inhabi
tants; while the Southern States, which had
been almost entirely withouut that system,
produced only one to every 6.C70 i dispro
portion of more than Bix to one I The New
England Slates had one publicly supported
pauper to every 13,285 of the population ;
but the others had only one to every 50,534.
The census of 1860 hss no record of insac
ity.but that of 1870 shows in New England
one insane person of those born and living
in the several Slates to every 800 native
born inhabitants; but in the six Southern
States in question only one to every 1,682
native inhabitants. Strange to say.foremcst
in this sad record stand Massachusetts and
Connecticut, which have bad common
schools since 1G47 and 1650 respectively, as
was remarked in Ihe beginning of thiB
article; the former producing one native
white criminal to every 649 native white in
habitants; the latter, one to every 845."
If you would make education re
formatory you must have the educa
tion of the head and of tho heart go
hand in hand. Education can not be
relied upon as a corrective of immo
rality and vice unless children are
trained in the lessons of virtue and
Honor and truth. Mr. White says
that the statistics he adduces do not
show that " knowledge is incompat
ible with virtue, thrift, good citizen
ship, and happiness," or, on the other
hand, "that ignorance is the mother
of vice." He thinks the statistics
show that ""ignorance has no neces
sary connection with vice." This is
true,doubtlesp, but one thing must be
not overlooked. Ignorance is gene
rally the result of extreme poverty,
and the conditions of extreme pover
ty are such that vice is a plant which
is more apt to spring up in suoh soil
and to thrive with more rankness
than in other and altogether different
surroundings.
The mistake in education, as it pro
vails in the North, it strikes us, is,
that it has been relied upon as tne
great and, almost, only instrument for
elevating man. Give him education
. , , ,,
nf mind, and the theorv 13. vou will
, ,
improve ana pumy toe natural man Libertl QoverDment. These two scholarly
and make htm superior to the temp- and able Revjews are the American re
lations of crime and gross immorality, prints of the Leonard Scott Publishing
But it has not worked out that way,
as Mr. White shows. What then ?
We think you must make education
and religion work together. The chil
dren of the land must be taught that
there is a God who will not regard
sin with allowance, who rewards the
good and punishes severely and inex
orably the vicious. If man shall be

the intellect. Some of the most vi- I

uiuus aieii ui hid wuriu uave ueeu I

Mr. White says that because of the

it does not follow that it "is not a
reformatory agent" that "its infla- j
ence not to make men good and
thrifiy and happy" that "it is not
adapted to produce the best govern
ment of tho people." He says, how
ever, that there is a remedy for the
failure or short-comings. And what
ia the remedy ? It is not, as you
might suppose and we believe to be
the true solutiou-to teach children

We try to think as well as we oan
of a Northern Radical. But what
are you to do with such a paper ai

that fully indorses Garfield's moral

of Gen. O. O. Howard-the
I that says

Point as it&oramander, in place f
Gen. Schofield, to be removed, "the
selection will be excel lent?" What
shall we do with ucb a declaration?
Can a man or paper he respected that
prefers a rascal to a gentleman - ti
rogue to an honest mau? Eveiyone
who knows anything knows how Ho
ward's character has been ununited.
Everyone knows that Schofield si ;i!ids
high for mtegriiy and respectability.
But wheu people have lost their bear
ings, and the true meaning of thing-
has gone too, you can only leave
them to their blindness.
By the way, some of our North
Carolina Democratic exchanges are
indorsing the Christian Observer as
a suitable paper for Southern fami
lies. Possibly they do not know that
it has a.political department which is
severely Stalwart. That paper tells
its readers that Garfield's character is
pure and spotless. Then Republican
papers and Congressmen have done
some tall lying, and you cannot make
anything else oat of it.
The following confirms no well
what the Stab iu ruauy editorials has
attempted to teach that we gladly
avail ourselves of it. We commend
what is said to the atlentiou of every
citizen ot Wilmitigton who has at
heart the welfare and prosperity ol
