A. E. Winship


Mr. A. E. Winship
Educator — Journalist — Lecturer

Mr. A. E. Winship of Boston, editor of the Journal of Education, also of the American Primary Teacher, two of the best known educational journals in America, has lectured each year for a quarter of a century in more than half the states of the Union and in more than 200 different cities.  A public speaker from young manhood, he came into the lecture field in 1886 and engagements have come to him practically unsought.



Traveled 50,000 miles Lecturing in One Year
In one year his lecture engagements necessitated more than 50,000 miles of travel.  He has spoken at more than seventy colleges and universities, at more than seventy state normal schools, and at more than seventy Chautauqua assemblies.  There are more than one hundred cities to which he has been recalled for more than five years and more than fifty to which he has been recalled more than ten times.



Closely Identified with Modern Work for Boys
No other man has been so closely identified with the work of all the noted men who have revolutionized the ideas of work with boys.  In fact for thirty years he has spared neither time, effort nor expense to know everything with projective efficiency that has been done for American boys and girls.

He has been a close student and promoter of the work of William R. George, of the George Junior Republic; of Judge Ben Lindsey in the work of the Juvenile Court; of Dr. Luther H. Gulick and all other leaders in the playground movement; of John E. Gunckel and the great Newsboys' Campaign; of Julia Richman and the marvelous public school sociological extension activity in New York; of Jane Day and her wonderful transformation of boys and girls in schools and homes and in the street; of rural life improvement efforts, and many other great uplift movements.



Inspired Greatest Boys' Campaign on Record
In 1909 Mr. Winship inspired the greatest Boys' Campaign on record when for twelve days in Boston and eighteen other cities there were meetings addressed by John E. Gunckel, Dr. Luther H. Gulick,
 Bert Hall of Milwaukee, Julia Richman, Jane Day, Olive M. Jones and Leonard P. Ayres of New York and other notable students of the problems of boys and girls.

Judge Lindsey's work in its early days was given great help and impetus by a Boys' Campaign which Mr. Winship inspired in Boston where in eight days Judge Lindsey spoke twenty-four times before the best organizations in that city and vicinity.  John E. Gunckel, assisted by the publicity work of Mr. Winship, also gave a similar eight days' campaign in Boston under equally favorable conditions.



Knows Every Section of the Country
No other public speaker combines in his experience and personality the East and the West, the States and the Provinces, so completely as does Mr. Winship.  His life and professional interests have always been in Boston and vicinity, so that he has known those who have made New England famous in literary and public life for half a century.  At the same time he knows every other section as well as do the men who live there.  He has always been a student of public men and measures, of local, industrial and commercial interests.  He always adapts his presentation of his theme to the audience as though it were prepared for that especial occasion.

It has truly been said of Mr. Winship: He is a public speaker who delights an audience without being funny, inspires without soaring, enlightens without statistics, convinces without philosophizing, and ennobles without moralizing.



His Latest Popular Lecture Subjects

Rescuing Rascals is one of the most interesting and important lectures on the American platform.
Developing Personality is a delightful story of the needs of the times.
The Making of Manly Boys is one of the best popular studies of boys to be heard on any platform.



Other Popular Lectures

Rascals and Saints, a lecture that has been called for over and over again.
Twentieth Century Standards, a noble and brilliant outlook.
Appetite and Relish, vigorous and vivacious, every sentence a relish.
Aaron Burr, a delightful study of human nature in history.
Horace Mann, a notable, popular, educational lecture.





NO man living has taken greater interest in the newsboys' movement or has done more to let the world know of the Toledo work than has Dr. Winship.  The promotion of the work outside of Toledo, and its great publicity, has been largely due to him.  It was he who suggested its world-wide importance, and placed me on convention programs, and organized newsboy campaigns.

A Few of Many Comments from the Metropolitan Papers

Sentences crackle like pine knots in an open fireplace.  Practical as the multiplication table.—
Boston Advertiser.


Such a volley of wit, in such polished language with such finished delivery, is seldom heard.—
Pittsburg Dispatch.


The peer of any one of the great descriptive lecturers of the day.—
Somerville Journal.


The soundest philosophy and the clearest thinking, in style that is crisp, terse, and epigrammatic.—
Boston Transcript.


Has the power of making impressive whatever he affirms.—
Springfield Union.


Profound, but entertaining throughout.—
Pittsburg Post.


Thinking has not been done in narrow grooves.—
Boston Globe.


Style is terse, epigrammatic, pungent, pervaded by the quality which someone has described as 'sanctified common sense.'—
Boston Journal.



The Topeka Capital, in introducing a lengthy report of Dr. Winship's lecture in that city, said:

There was a large audience at the Assembly Hall last evening to hear A. E. Winship, of Boston, deliver a lecture on 'Rascals and Saints.'

Mr. Winship is a very bright and entertaining talker.  Those who heard him last night were loud in their praises of his ability to entertain and instruct at the same time.  He has a great deal of dry humor, and his manner of telling a humorous story or making a witty remark has a way of sending his hearers into convulsions of laughter.  Mr. Winship does not tell a funny story for the reason that it is funny, but for the teaching that it carries with it.  He was the master of his theme last night, and his familiarity with the many subjects with which he dealt shows that he has studied the people of other nations as well as those of America.
