To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is idle to contend that the news- paper, as a business undertaking, must supply this sort of thing to meet the demand for it. It is (or ought to be) the proud boast of the press that it leads and moulds public opinion, and undoubtedly journalism (like the theatre) is at least as much the cause as the effect of the depravity of public taste. Enterprising stage-managers have before now proved that Shakespeare does not spell ruin, and there are admirable journals in the United States which have... shown themselves to be valuable prop- erties without undue pandering to the frivolous or vicious side of the public instinct.^ 1 Writing of theatrical manaf^ers, the Century (November, 1895) 8ay3 : "One of the greatest obstacles in the way of reform is the inability of these same men to discern the trend of intelligent, to say nothing of cultivated, public opinion, or to inform themselves of the existence of the widespread craving for higher and better entertainment." 148 The Land of Contrasts A straw shows how the wind blows ; let one item show the unfathomable gulf in questions of tone and taste that can subsist between a great American daily and its English counterparts.
