Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old and New, Vol. 4: July 1871, to January 1872 The editor of "Old And New" had gone to Middletown, that most lovely of towns in the Connecticut Valley, if it can be said that one town is more lovely than another there when "May decks the world." Nothing could have been lovelier when "Arthur filled the throne." The editor had gone to address the convention of delegates of Alpha Delta Phi, one of the oldest and largest of the affiliated college literary societies, in which, in his boyhood, he had done some of the first literary work of his life. So, as the rest of the editorial staff met on the piazza, their talk naturally fell upon colleges, college life, and college systems, the New Education and the Old. "All that I complain of," said Haliburton, "is that people keep talking to me of their experiments in this business. First, because I do not care to have experiments tried on boys or girls of mine; second, because these experiments, as they call them, have all been tried, and the results are known by all people of intelligence." Ingham intimated, that, as usual when Haliburton gave two reasons, they were inconsistent with each other. And Felix Carter said, "What do you mean when you say the experiments have been tried before?" "I mean," persisted Haliburton, "that about half of what I hear and read here about introducing into our colleges the system of universities has been fairly tried in the University of Virginia a generation ago; and that, if you could bend your proud necks so far as to make any inquiries there as to how it worked, you would save yourself the necessity of experimenting on my poor children." (N. B. Haliburton´s children are none of them more than six years old; and the boy is but three months old.)
