塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 416
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
Great attention is paid in Saltaire to education, even of the higher sort. There are day schools, night schools, mutual improvement classes, lectures, and discussions. Music--one of the most humanizing of pleasures--is one of the most favourite studies. "In almost every house in the town some form of musical instrument is found; and indeed, the choral and glee societies, together with the bands, have become household names." There is one full brass band for men, and another drum-and-fife band for boys; and concerts, vocal and instrumental, are regularly given by the workpeople in the dining-hall. The bands have instructors provided by the firm.

白话
索尔泰尔非常重视教育,连较高层次的学习也照顾到。那里有日校、夜校、互助提高班、讲座和讨论会。音乐是最能使人性情温和的乐趣之一,也是那里最受欢迎的学习项目。几乎家家都有某种乐器,合唱团、歌咏社和乐队成了家喻户晓的名字。男人有一支完整的铜管乐队,男孩有鼓笛乐队,工人们还定期在食堂举办声乐和器乐音乐会,公司为乐队聘请指导。这说明,让工人有机会学点“无用”的技艺,反而能凝聚人心、提升生活品质。
