Excerpt from The Coming School
The author had the honor of reviewing Miss Le Row's Young Idea in the columns of a daily paper. A column seemed but a cramped space in which to do justice to a book destined to be so grand a stimulus to educational reform. Of course, "justice" was but hinted at. How to get the book well before the thinking public, and how to get its readers to see in it not, as some reviewers had it, an exaggeration of the incidental evils of the common-school system, but a faint suggestion of educational mistakes most blighting in their effects, were vexing problems, to which was added a third: How to supplement this exposure of the lingering bad with a presentation of the entering good. The hope was expressed in the review that Miss Le Row would follow her representation of the Young Idea in toil and darkness with a picture of the sunlit growth that comes to it in schools where its nature and destiny are better regarded.
