Riassunto

Excerpt from Another Excursion Among Seats of Learning, Genuine and Spurious

We are here reminded that many friends of education whom we have never seen, while warmly thanking us for our criti cisms on some of the institutions on the Hudson, have asked us why we have passed Over the Catholic female institutions of the Hudson. Some Protestants who have had their daugh ters at the Sacred Heart and Mount St. Vincent have written to us rather feelingly on this subject, saying that, although the two pious but thrifty institutions mentioned may not have advertised the salt water of the Hudson, they possess several features in common with the great tappan-zee Seat of learning, if not still uglier features. To this we can only reply, that we have not passed over those institutions through fear either of Jesuits or politicians. And let those who doubt the fact turn to an article of ours entitled New Catechism for Young Ladies - Gods and Goddesses. This, we think, will Show how much foundation there is for the in sinuation that we are frightened by a cloak of sanctity and if it be not sufficient we can refer the curious to certain other criticisms in other articles and numbers. But having so lately fully described the sort of pabulum furnished at the Sacred Heart and St. Vincent, we thought it would hardly be necessary to do so again for some time. This, and this only, was our motive in omitting even to mention either in the paper alluded to.
