THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
The New York Erenimj Pod has the following just remarks We firmly believe that the first ’lung for colleges and schools to do ia to teach boys how to write rather than how to speak ; the press must be reformed before anything else can be, because the pro's is an enormous power with capital behind it, and cvg.iy gets a more complete control over the opinion of the country. The man who can sit in his office and repeat to an audience of fifty thousand men the same arguments day after day and week after week, until these facts and arguments become part of the mental furniture of the mind of the audience, has a power far superior to that of the man who, after the wck has been going on for six months or so, mounts the rostrum and delivers himself—after all. of the same facts aud arguments ones more.”
