They are merely\nrecords of the impressions made by this or that aspect of the\nlife of the University as it has been in different ages.\nOxford is not an easy place to design in black and white, with\nthe pen or the etchers needle. On a wild winter or\nlate autumn day (such as Father Faber has made permanent in a\nbeautiful poem) the sunshine fleets along the plain, revealing\ntowers, and floods, and trees, in a gleam of watery light, and\nleaving them once more in shadow. The melancholy mist\ncreeps over the city, the damp soaks into the heart of\neverything, and such suicidal weather ensues as has been\ndescribed, once for all, by the author of\nJohn-a-Dreams. How different Oxford looks when the\nroad to Cowley Marsh is dumb with dust, when the heat seems\nalmost tropical, and by the drowsy banks of the Cherwell you\nmight almost expect some shy southern water-beast to come\ncrashing through the reeds! And such a day, again, is\nunlike the bright weather of late September, when all the gold\nand scarlet of Bagley Wood are concentrated in the leaves that\ncover the walls of Magdalen with an imperial vesture.\nOur memories of Oxford, if we have long made her a Castle of\nIndolence, vary no less than do the shifting aspects of her\nscenery. Days of spring and of mere pleasure in existence\nhave alternated with days of gloom and loneliness, of melancholy,\nof resignation. Our mental pictures of the place are tinged\nby many moods, as the landscape is beheld in shower and sunshine,\nin frost, and in the colourless drizzling weather. Oxford,\nthat once seemed a pleasant porch and entrance into life, may\nbecome a dingy ante-room, where we kick our heels with other\nweary, waiting people. At last, if men linger there too\nlate, Oxford grows a prison, and it is the final condition of the\nloiterer to take this for a hermitage. It is\nwell to leave the enchantress betimes, and to carry away few but\nkind recollections. If there be any who think and speak\nungently of their Alma Mater, it is because they have\noutstayed their natural welcome while, or because\nthey have resisted her genial influence in youth.\nMost old towns are like\npalimpsests, parchments which have been scrawled over again and\nagain by their successive owners. Oxford, though not one of\nthe most ancient of English cities, shows, more legibly than the\nrest, the handwriting, as it were, of many generations. The\nconvenient site among the interlacing waters of the Isis and the\nCherwell has commended itself to men in one age after\nanother. Each generation has used it for its own purpose:\nfor war, for trade, for learning, for religion; and war, trade,\nreligion, and learning have left on Oxford their peculiar\nmarks. No set of its occupants, before the last two\ncenturies began, was very eager to deface or destroy the\nbuildings of its predecessors. Old things were turned to\nnew uses, or altered to suit new tastes; they were not overthrown\nand carted away. Thus, in walking through Oxford, you see\neverywhere, in colleges, chapels, and churches, doors and windows\nwhich have been builded up; or again, openings which have been\ncut where none originally existed. The upper part of the\nround Norman arches in the Cathedral has been preserved, and\nconverted into the circular bulls-eye lights which the\nlast century liked. It is the same everywhere, except where\nmodern restorers have had their way. Thus the life of\nEngland, for some eight centuries, may be traced in the buildings\nof Oxford. Nay, if we are convinced by some antiquaries,\nthe eastern end of the High Street contains even earlier\nscratches on this palimpsest of Oxford; the rude marks of savages\nwho scooped out their damp nests, and raised their low walls in\nthe gravel, on the spot where the new schools are to stand.\nHere half-naked men may have trapped the beaver in the Cherwell,\nand hither they may have brought home the boars which they slew\nin the trackless woods of Headington and Bagley. It is with\nthe life of historical Oxford, however, and not with these\nfancies, that we are concerned, though these papers have no\npretension to be a history of Oxford. A series of pictures\nof mens life here is all they try to sketch.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2444 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lang, Andrew \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lang, Andrew,1844-1912 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212255723677,"sku":"gb-2444-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2444_a365ce0e-7cca-46f1-8700-fbfeae6eed50.jpg?v=1671253310"},{"product_id":"a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-gb-3420","title":"A Vindication of the Rights of Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Vindication of the Rights of Woman\r - With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis should be the first thing seen when anyone opens the book.\nDo not change or edit it without written permission.

To trace all these contributions\nback to their sources would be a task impossible of accomplishment, and,\nwhile specific parts would be interesting, for our purposes they would not\nbe important. Especially would it not be profitable for us to attempt to\ntrace the development of minor features, or to go back to the rudimentary\ncivilizations of primitive peoples. The early development of civilization\namong the Chinese, the Hindoos, the Persians, the Egyptians, or the\nAmerican Indians all alike present features which to some form a very\ninteresting study, but our western civilization does not go back to these\nas sources, and consequently they need not concern us in the study we are\nabout to begin. While we have obtained the alphabet from the Phoenicians\nand some of our mathematical and scientific developments through the\nmedium of the Mohammedans, the real sources of our present-day\ncivilization lie elsewhere, and these minor sources will be referred to\nbut briefly and only as they influenced the course of western progress.\nThe civilization which we now know and enjoy has come down to us from four\nmain sources. The Greeks, the Romans, and the Christians laid the\nfoundations, and in the order named, and the study of the early history of\nour western civilization is a study of the work and the blending of these\nthree main forces. It is upon these three foundation stones, superimposed\nupon one another, that our modern European and American civilization has\nbeen developed. The Germanic tribes, overrunning the boundaries of the\nRoman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries, added another new force of\nlargest future significance, and one which profoundly modified all\nsubsequent progress and development. To these four main sources we have\nmade many additions in modern times, building an entirely new\nsuperstructure on the old foundations, but the groundwork of our\ncivilization is composed of these four foundation elements. For these\nreasons a history of even modern education almost of necessity goes back,\nbriefly at least, to the work and contributions of these ancient peoples.\nStarting, then, with the work of the Greeks, we shall state briefly the\ncontributions to the stream of civilization which have come down to us\nfrom each of the important historic peoples or groups or forces, and shall\ntrace the blending and assimilating processes of the centuries. While\ndescribing briefly the educational institutions and ideas of the different\npeoples, we shall be far less concerned, as we progress down the\ncenturies, with the educational and philosophical theories advanced by\nthinkers among them than with what was actually done, and with the lasting\ncontributions which they made to our educational practices and to our\npresent-day civilization.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 7521 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Cubberley, Ellwood Patterson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Cubberley, Ellwood Patterson,1868-1941 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215438938269,"sku":"gb-7521-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/7521.jpg?v=1671288082"},{"product_id":"the-history-of-university-education-in-maryland-gb-12138","title":"The History of University Education in Maryland","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe History of University Education in Maryland\r - The Johns Hopkins University (1876-1891).

In many other cases,\r\nhowever, the institutions have grown and flourished, and have had\r\nan honorable history.\nCollegiate education in Maryland did not begin until after the\r\nRevolution. In the colonial period there was no demand for it\r\nsufficient to warrant the establishment of a seat of higher\r\nlearning. For this state of things there were several causes. The\r\nmajority of the early settlers were planters and frontiersmen,\r\nhaving little need for an extended education and desiring it still\r\nless. Of the wealthier classes, some were like the fox-hunting\r\nEnglish gentry, caring for little else than sport; and others, who\r\ndid desire the advantages of a culture higher than that obtainable\r\nfrom a village schoolmaster or a private tutor, found it elsewhere.\r\nThey went over to William and Mary's College in Virginia, across\r\nthe ocean to England, or, in case of some Catholics like Charles\r\nCarroll, to the institutions on the continent of Europe.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12138 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Steiner, Bernard C.

His comprehensive survey of the whole situation, the arrangement\r\nof evidence and array of facts, are not unlike what might have been\r\nfound in the Report of a Commission appointed to investigate the causes\r\nand the state of affairs to which the troubles that have arisen in India\r\nmay be ascribed.\nAt different times in the world's history the nations foremost in\r\ncivilization have undertaken the enterprise of founding a great European\r\ndominion in Asia, and have accomplished it with signal success. The\r\nMacedonian Greeks led the way; they were followed by the Romans; and in\r\nboth instances their military superiority and organizing genius enabled\r\nthem to subdue and govern for centuries vast populations in Western\r\nAsia. European science and literature flourished in the great cities of\r\nthe East, where the educated classes willingly accepted and supported\r\nforeign rulership as their barrier against a relapse into barbarism; nor\r\nhave we reason for believing that it excited unusual discontent or\r\ndisaffection among the Asiatic peoples. But the Greek and Roman Empires\r\nin Asia have disappeared long ago, leaving very little beyond scattered\r\nruins; and in modern times it is the British dominion in India that has\r\nrevived and is pursuing the enterprise of ruling and civilizing a great\r\nAsiatic population, of developing the political intelligence and\r\ntransforming the ideas of an antique and, in some respects, a primitive\r\nsociety.\nThat the task must be one of prodigious difficulty, not always free from\r\ndanger, has been long known to those who watched the experiment with\r\nsome accurate foresight of the conditions attending it. Yet the recent\r\nsymptoms of virulent disease in some parts of the body politic, though\r\nconfined to certain provinces of India, have taken the British nation by\r\nsurprise. Mr. Chirol's book has now exhibited the present state and\r\nprospect of the adventure; he has examined the causes and the\r\nconsequences of the prevailing unrest; he has collected ample evidence,\r\nand he has consulted all the best authorities, Indian and European, on\r\nthe subject. His masterly analysis of all this material shows wide\r\nacquaintance with the facts, and rare insight into the character and\r\nmotives, the aims and methods, of those who are engaged in stirring up\r\nthe spirit of revolt against the British Government. He has pointed to\r\ninstances where the best intentions of the administrators have led them\r\nwrong; his whole narrative illustrates the perils that beset a\r\nGovernment necessarily pledged to moral and material reform, which finds\r\nits own principles perverted against its efforts, and its foremost\r\nopponents among the class that has been the first to profit by the\r\nbenefits which that Government has conferred upon them.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 16444 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Chirol, Valentine \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 5, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Chirol, Valentine \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217346592925,"sku":"gb-16444-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/16444.jpg?v=1671425731"},{"product_id":"ontario-teachers-manuals-history-gb-17268","title":"Ontario Teachers' Manuals: History","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOntario Teachers' Manuals: History\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe course in literature and composition includes the telling by the\r\nteacher of suitable stories from the Bible, stories of primitive\r\npeoples, of child life in other lands, of famous persons and peoples;\r\nand the oral reproduction of these stories by the pupils.

It has been written during the closing months of the war and\r\nin the days that have followed, and is completed while the Peace\r\nConference is still in session, holding in the balance, as many\r\nbelieve, the fate of many hopes, and perhaps the whole future of the\r\nworld. We see focussed there in Paris all the motives that have ever\r\nentered into human history and all the ideals that have influenced\r\nhuman affairs. The question must have arisen in all minds in, some\r\nform as to what the place of these motives and ideals and dramatic\r\nmoments is in the progress of the world. Is the world governed after\r\nall by the laws of nature in all its progress? Do ideals and motives\r\ngovern the world, but only as these ideals and motives are themselves\r\nproduced according to biological or psychological principles? Or,\r\nagain, does progress depend upon historical moments, upon conscious\r\npurposes which may divert the course of nature and in a real sense\r\ncreate the future? It is with the whole problem of history that we are\r\nconfronted in these practical hours. At heart our problem is that of\r\nthe place of man in nature as a conscious factor of progress. This is\r\na problem, finally, of the philosophy of history, but it is rather in\r\na more concrete way and upon a different level that it is to be\r\nconsidered here,and somewhat incidentally to other more specific\r\nquestions. But this is the problem that is always before us, and the\r\none to which this study aims to make some contribution, however small.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 20814 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Partridge, G.

Rather it is the aim of this volume to furnish a\r\nsurveysketching broadly the development of the University, and\r\ndwelling upon incidents and personalities that contribute movement to\r\nthe narrative.\nThose familiar with the history of the University will recognize the\r\nsources of much that appears in the following pages. The author must\r\nacknowledge an especial debt to Professor Ten Brook's \"History of State\r\nUniversities,\" and the two histories of the University, written by\r\nElizabeth Farrand, '87m, and Professor Burke E. Hinsdale. Much of the\r\nmaterial in the early chapters is based directly upon Professor\r\nHinsdale's painstaking and authoritative work. Other works which have\r\nbeen consulted are Judge Cooley's \"History of Michigan,\" Professor C.K.\r\nAdams' \"Historical Sketch,\" published by the University in 1876,\r\nProfessor A.C. McLaughlin's \"History of Higher Education in Michigan\"\r\n(Contributions to American Educational History, Number II, Bureau of\r\nEducation, 1891), the reports of the Fiftieth and Seventy-fifth\r\nAnniversaries and Dr. Angell's Quarter Centennial Celebration, and Dr.\r\nAngell's \"Reminiscences.\" The files of The Michigan Alumnus and the\r\nMichiganensian, the records of the Regents' meetings and the calendars\r\nof the University have likewise proved extremely valuable. For the\r\nmaterial in certain chapters, \"The Michigan Book,\" published in 1898, by\r\nEdwin H. Humphrey, '97, an article entitled \"The University of Michigan\r\nand the Training of Her Students for the War,\" by Professor Arthur L.\r\nCross, in the Michigan History Magazine, for January, 1920, and Andrew\r\nD. White's \"Autobiography\" have been freely consulted.\nIt is unfortunate that our information concerning the earliest days of\r\nthe University is comparatively meager. The collections of old\r\nnewspapers and other original sources in the University Library have\r\nbeen utilized, but these are not as extensive as they should be.\r\nUndoubtedly not a little material in the form of letters and diaries is\r\nstill to be found among the papers of the earliest officers of the\r\nUniversity and the graduates of the '40's and '50's.

The gateway\r\nwith its four towers is the best example\r\nof the characteristic Cambridge gate, and\r\ndates from the foundation of the College.\r\nIt is built of red brick (the eastern counties\r\nmarble), dressed with stone. The street\r\nfront of the College to the right and left\r\nremains in its original state, except that\r\nafter the old chapel and infirmary of the\r\nHospital of St. John (to which allusion will\r\nbe made hereafter) were pulled down, the\r\nnorth end was completed by a block of\r\nlecture rooms in 1869.\nThe front of the gate is richly decorated\r\nwith heraldic devices, full of historical\r\nmeaning and associations. The arms are\r\nthose of the foundress; the shield, France[Pg 2]\r\n(ancient) and England quarterly, was the\r\nroyal shield of the period; the bordure,\r\ngobonny argent and azure (the argent in\r\nthe upper dexter compartment), was the\r\n\"difference\" of the Beauforts, and is only\r\nslightly indicated. The supporters, two\r\nantelopes, come from Henry VI. There\r\nis no crest above the shield, and heraldic\r\nrules are against its use by a lady, but on\r\nher seal the Lady Margaret used the Beaufort\r\narms as above ensigned, with a coronet\r\nof roses and fleur-de-lis, out of which issues\r\nan eagle, displayed or; and this device of\r\ncoat and crest is used by the College. The\r\narms on the gate are surrounded by badges,\r\nthe Portcullis of the Beauforts, the Tudor,\r\nor Union, rose, each surmounted by a crown.\r\nBesides these we have daisies (marguerites),\r\nthe badge of the Lady Margaret, and some\r\nflowers, which are not so easily identified.\r\nCertain vestments and embroideries, which\r\nbelonged to the Lady Margaret, of which\r\na list has been preserved, are described as\r\n\"garnishede with sophanyes and my ladyes\r\npoisy,\" or, \"with rede roses and syphanyes.\"\r\nThe sophanye was an old English name for\r\nthe Christmas rose, and there seems little\r\ndoubt that these flowers on the gate are\r\nmeant for Christmas roses. The carving\r\non the right, under the portcullis, where\r\nthese emblems seem to be growing out of\r\nsomething resembling a masonic apron, is\r\nvery curious.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 27320 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Scott, Robert Forsyth \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 24, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrator\u003c\/b\u003e: New, E.

Normal schools and teachers'\r\ncolleges give this subject a prominent place in their professional\r\ncourses, superintendents require candidates for certificates to pass\r\nexamination in it, and familiarity with it is an essential part of the\r\nequipment of every well-informed teacher. The history of education\r\nportrays the theories and methods of the past, warns of error and\r\nindicates established truth, shows difficulties surmounted, and\r\nencourages the teacher of to-day by examples of heroism and consecration\r\non the part of educators whose labors for their fellow-men we discuss.\r\nTo the teacher this study is a constant help in the schoolroom, the\r\ntrials of which are met with the added strength and inspiration from\r\ncontact with great teachers of the past.\nNo text-book can be said to contain the last word upon any subject.\r\nLeast of all can such a claim be made for a history of education, which\r\naims to trace the intellectual development of the human race and to\r\nindicate the means and processes of that evolution. Any individuals or\r\nfactors materially contributing thereto deserve a place in educational\r\nhistory. As to which of these factors is the most important, that is a\r\nquestion of choice, upon which, doubtless, many will differ with the\r\nauthor. Some educators, whose claims to consideration are unquestioned,\r\nhave been reluctantly omitted on account of the limitations of this[Pg 4]\r\nwork.\nOn the other hand, many teachers lack time for exhaustive study of such\r\na subject. This book is designed to furnish all the material that can be\r\nreasonably demanded for any state, county, or city teacher's\r\ncertificate. It also provides sufficient subject-matter for classes in\r\nnormal schools and colleges and for reading circles. The material\r\noffered can be mastered in a half-year's class work, but, by using the\r\nreferences, a full year can be well employed. For those who desire to\r\nmake a more extended study of particular topics, the author gives such\r\nauthorities as years of careful research have shown to be most valuable.\r\nEvery investigator knows the labor involved in finding suitable\r\nmaterial. To spare the reader something of that labor, the literature is\r\ngiven at the beginning of each chapter. By following the collateral\r\nreadings thus suggested, this book will be found suitable for the most\r\nadvanced classes.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 27963 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Seeley, Levi \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 2, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Seeley, Levi,1847-1928 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218985222301,"sku":"gb-27963-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/27963.jpg?v=1671511416"},{"product_id":"mcgill-and-its-story-1821-1921-gb-28253","title":"McGill and its Story, 1821-1921","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMcGill and its Story, 1821-1921\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following pages give in general outline the century story of McGill\r\nUniversity. They have no pretension to the title of detailed History,\r\nfor it has been possible to chronicle only the circumstances which\r\nshaped the University in its infancy and the important events of its\r\nsucceeding years. The story is one of struggle and disappointment, of\r\ndiscouragement and controversy, and of ultimate success and triumph. The\r\nmen who made McGill were men of far and clear vision, of unfaltering\r\ncourage and unwavering faith. They never doubted the final breaking of\r\nthe clouds; they were baffled only to fight better in their forward\r\nmarch on behalf of national enlightenment. They believed in the future\r\ngreatness of Canada, and of the place of education in moulding their\r\ncountry's destiny. The students of to-day who enjoy the advantages of a\r\ngreat seat of learning are not always conscious of the toil and the\r\nanxiety, the weariness and the fret of their College's early years; they\r\nperhaps do not always appreciate their glorious heritage and the efforts\r\nand the sacrifices of those who scorned delights and lived laborious\r\ndays in order to leave that heritage behind. The author's hope is that\r\nthe story of struggle herein recorded may deepen our gratitude for our\r\nprivileges, and our reverence for McGill and the men who made it.\nIt has been impossible here to enter into minute details of\r\norganization or administration or personnel. The book is a story of\r\nepochs rather than of individuals,but epochs in which the sign posts\r\never pointed onward. Biographical material has, therefore, been reduced\r\nto a minimum and no attempt has been made to give names or notices of\r\nProfessors, many of whom, the writer is well aware, should otherwise\r\nreceive appreciative reference as among the makers of McGill. With the\r\nexception of the portrait of the present Principal, too, the photographs\r\ninclude of necessity only those who are already numbered with the\r\nUniversity's past.\nThe writer's deepest thanks are here expressed to those without whose\r\nassistance this story could not have been told. He is grateful to\r\nProfessor Stephen Leacock for advice and encouragement; to the\r\nPrincipal, the Governors, and the Secretary of McGill, Mr. A. P. S.\r\nGlassco (Science, 1901), for permission to examine letters and minutes;\r\nto Dr. J. A. Nicholson, (Arts, 1887) for his valuable aid in locating\r\nand obtaining access to documents; to the staff of the Redpath Library,\r\nespecially Miss D. A.

The remainder is the story of a\r\nschool, which has always had a reputation in the\r\neducational world and at the same time has left only\r\nthe most meagre records of itself. The gentry of the\r\nneighbourhood were its scholars, but few have made\r\ntheir fame in the world without. Headmasters and\r\nUshers have passed their lives here, but few were\r\nambitious. Giggleswick was their haven of old age.\r\nCustoms grew up, the same customs died and only\r\nseldom is it possible to conjecture their character.\nA nation without a history is considered to have\r\nhad the most blessed existence and the same is\r\ntrue of a school. Giggleswick has but once been\r\nthe prey of the brigand and then it was fortunate\r\nenough to have a friend at court. It lost its\r\noriginal endowment and its private character. It\r\ngained a larger revenue and a Royal Charter. The\r\nplacidity of its life was undisturbed by financial\r\ndeficits. Its income expanded steadily. The close\r\ncorporation of Governors were never ambitious to\r\ndisplay their wealth, they never excited the greed of\r\nthe statesman; even Cromwell's army passed through\r\nthe district unmentioned by the Minute-Book.[Pg vi]\nIt did not grow, it made no history, but continued\r\non the even tenour of its path. Some years it was\r\neffective as a school of instruction, some years it was\r\nnot, but never did it meet with the inquisitorial\r\nlandlord, never but once did it suffer from the Crown.\r\nWith the nineteenth century came its first crisis for\r\nthree hundred years and it passed through unhurt. A\r\nnew school with the old endowments, a better education\r\nwith a wider horizon, a new power with which to meet\r\nthe coming needs were all engrafted on the old\r\nfoundation. If romance involves moments of startling\r\nexcitement, Giggleswick has no romance. But if\r\nromance lies in an unrecorded, unenvied continuity, in\r\nthe affection of pupils that age after age causes men\r\nto send their sons and their sons' sons to the same\r\nschool, then the history of Giggleswick is shot through\r\nwith romance. No school can continue for more than\r\na generation, if this supreme test of its hold upon the\r\nhearts of men should fail. The school that nurtured\r\nthe father must do its duty by the son and the golden\r\nlink of affection is forged afresh.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 30168 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bell, Edward Allen \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 3, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bell, Edward Allen,1884-1959 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219391742109,"sku":"gb-30168-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/30168.jpg?v=1671525583"},{"product_id":"my-schools-and-schoolmasters-or-the-story-of-my-education-gb-30737","title":"My Schools and Schoolmasters Or, The Story of My Education","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMy Schools and Schoolmasters; Or, The Story of My Education\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is now nearly a hundred years since Goldsmith remarked, in his little\r\neducational treatise, that \"few subjects have been more frequently\r\nwritten upon than the education of youth.\" And during the century which\r\nhas well-nigh elapsed since he said so, there have been so many more\r\nadditional works given to the world on this fertile topic, that their\r\nnumber has been at least doubled. Almost all the men who ever taught a\r\nfew pupils, with a great many more who never taught any, deem themselves\r\nqualified to say something original on education; and perhaps few books\r\nof the kind have yet appeared, however mediocre their general tone, in\r\nwhich something worthy of being attended to has not actually been said.\r\nAnd yet, though I have read not a few volumes on the subject, and have\r\ndipped into a great many more, I never yet found in them the sort of\r\ndirection or encouragement which, in working out my own education, I\r\nmost needed. They insisted much on the various modes of teaching others,\r\nbut said nothingor, what amounted to the same thing, nothing to the\r\npurposeon the best mode of teaching one's-self. And as my\r\ncircumstances and position, at the time when I had most occasion to\r\nconsult them, were those of by much the largest class of the people of\r\nthis and every other civilized countryfor I was one of the many\r\nmillions who need to learn, and yet have no one to teach themI could\r\nnot help deeming the omission a serious one.

Especially has this\r\nbeen true in lines of education. Again and again has it been sought to\r\nwheel the educational car upon new tracks where exaggerated views,\r\nrevolutionary ideas, radical methods have caused the eyes of the world\r\nto be focused upon the attempt, and no movement within the arc that the\r\nworlds opinions have traversed has been unnoticed.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 31255 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Scarborough, W.

From this circumstance, my friends\r\nderived the confident hope that I should become a priest, for at that\r\ntime that sort of superstition was still every where prevalent. I had\r\none sister, named Christina; she alone was with my mother when I was\r\nborn, and she afterwards told it me. My father's name was Anthony\r\nPlatter, of the old family of Platter, who have their name from a house\r\nwhich stands on a broad plat (Platte). This plat is a rock on a very\r\nhigh mountain, near a village of the name of Grenchen, in the district\r\nand parish of Visp, a considerable village of the Canton of St. Gall.\r\nMy mother, however, was named Anteli Summermatter, of the very great\r\nfamily of that name. Her father attained the age of 126. I conversed\r\nwith him six years before his death; and then he told me that he knew\r\nten more men in the parish of Visp who were all older than he. When he\r\nwas 100 years old he married a woman who bore him one son. By his first\r\nwife he left sons and daughters, of whom some were white-headed and\r\nsome grey before he died. They called him old Hans Summermatter. The\r\nhouse in which I was born is near the village of Grenchen, and is\r\ncalled Am Graben. My mother could not nurse me herself, therefore I was\r\nobliged to drink cow's milk through a small horn, as is the custom in\r\nthat country when they wean a child: because they give the children\r\nnothing to eat, but only milk to drink, till they are four or five\r\nyears old. My father died when I was so young that I do not remember\r\never to have seen him. It is usual in that country for almost all women\r\nto be able to weave and sew. Before the winter, almost all the men go\r\ninto the territory of Berne to buy wool: this the women spin, and make\r\nrustic cloth of it for coats and trowsers for the peasants. So also my\r\nfather was in the district of Thun, in the territory of Berne, buying\r\nwool. There he was attacked by the plague and died, and was buried at\r\nStaffisburg, a village near Thun. Soon after, my mother married a man\r\nof the name of Heintzmann, who lived in a house between Stalden and\r\nVisp, that was called Am Grunde. So the children were all separated\r\nfrom her: I do not exactly know how many of them there were. Of my\r\nsisters, I knew only two;--one, whose name was Elizabeth, died in\r\nEntlibuch, where she was married;--the name of the other was Christina,\r\nand she died above Stalden, at Burgen, of the plague, with eight\r\npersons of her family. Of my brothers, I knew three: the first was\r\ncalled Simeon, the other Hans, the third Theodore. Simeon and Hans fell\r\nin battle. Theodore died at Oberhofen, on the lake of Thun: for the\r\nusurers had mined my father, so that my brothers were obliged to go to\r\nservice almost as soon as they could do any thing; and as I was the\r\nyoungest, some of my aunts, my father's sisters, had me with them for a\r\nwhile. I can still well remember that I was with one whose name was\r\nMargaret. She carried me to a house that was called \"In der Wilde,\"\r\nnear Grenchen. One of my aunts was there also: she wrapped me up in a\r\ntruss of straw that was accidentally in the room, and laid me on the\r\ntable, and went to the other women. Once in the night, after my aunts\r\nhad laid me down, they went to the mass at candle-mass time. Then I got\r\nup, and had run through the snow in winter, naked, to a house. When\r\nthey came back, and did not find me, they were in great distress, but\r\nfound me at last in that house, between two men, who were warming me,\r\nfor I was frozen in the snow. Afterwards when I was also for a while\r\nwith the same aunts, at \"In der Wilde,\" my eldest brother arrived from\r\nthe Savoy war, and brought me a little wooden horse, which I drew along\r\nby a thread before the door. I still remember well that I really\r\nthought the little horse could walk, and can therefore well explain to\r\nmyself how the little children often think that their dolls, and what\r\nthey have, are alive. My brother also strode over me with one leg, as I\r\nstill perfectly remember, and said, \"Oho! Tommy, now you will never\r\ngrow any more.\" When I was about three years old. Cardinal Matthew\r\nSchinner passed through the country to hold a visitation and confirm\r\nevery where, as is the custom in the Catholic Church, and came to\r\nGrenchen also. At this time there was a priest in Grenchen, whose name\r\nwas Anthony Platter; he was a relation of mine; to him they brought me,\r\nthat he should act as godfather at my confirmation. When however the\r\nCardinal had dined, and was gone again into the church to confirm, (I\r\ndo not know what my uncle had to do), I ran without his knowledge into\r\nthe church, that I might be confirmed, and that my godfather might give\r\nme a crown piece, as it is the custom to give the children something.\r\nThe Cardinal sat in an arm chair waiting till they brought him the\r\nchildren. I still recollect very well that I ran up to him. As my\r\ngodfather was not with me, he spoke to me: \"What do you want, my\r\nchild?\" I said, \"I should like to be confirmed.\" Then he said,\r\nsmiling, \"What is your name?\" I answered, \"My name is Master Thomas.\"\r\nThen he laughed, murmured something with his hand laid on my head, and\r\ngave me a gentle slap on the cheek. At this moment Mr. Anthony came,\r\nand excused himself by saying that I had run away without his\r\nknowledge. Then the Cardinal related to him what I had said, and said\r\nto that gentleman, \"Certainly that child will become something\r\nwonderful,--probably a priest.\" And because I was born just as they\r\nwere ringing for mass, many people supposed that I should become a\r\npriest; on which account also they sent me to school earlier than\r\nusual. When I was about six years old they sent me to Eisenthal behind\r\nStalden, where my mother's sister had a husband, called Thomas of Rdi,\r\nwho lived on a farm called Am Boden. For him I was obliged to keep the\r\ngoats near the house. I can remember how I often stuck in the snow, so\r\nthat I could scarcely get out, and my shoes remained behind, so that I\r\ncame home barefoot and shivering. This farmer had about eighty goats,\r\nwhich I had to tend in my seventh and eighth years. When therefore I\r\nopened the stable, and did not immediately get out of the way, the\r\ngoats, as I was still so little, knocked me down, ran over me, and trod\r\non my head, arms, and back; for I usually fell on my face. When I drove\r\nthem over the bridge, then the foremost ran past me into the corn\r\nfield; and when I drove these out, the others ran in. Then I used to\r\ncry and lament; for I knew well that in the evening I should be beaten.\r\nWhen, however, other goatherds came to me from other farmers, they\r\nhelped me; particularly one, called Thomas of Leidenbach. He had pity\r\non me, and shewed me much kindness. Then we all sat together, when we\r\nhad led the goats up the high and frightful mountains, and ate our\r\nsupper. Each one had a shepherd's basket on his back, with cheese and\r\nrye-bread in it. One day when we had dined we set about shooting for a\r\ntrial of skill. On the top of a high rock there was a flat piece of\r\nground. As one after the other now shot at the mark, one stood before\r\nme who wished to shoot. I endeavoured to get out of his way, that he\r\nshould not strike me on the head; but as I stepped back a few paces I\r\nfell backwards from off the rock. The shepherds all cried out, \"Lord\r\nJesus! Lord Jesus!\" till I was out of sight; for I had fallen under the\r\nrock, so that they could not see me; and they fully believed that I\r\nwas killed. I however soon got up again, and climbed up by the side of\r\nthe rock to them. If they wept before for grief, they now wept for joy.\r\nSix weeks after a goat belonging to one of them fell down at the same\r\nspot, and was killed! So carefully had God watched over me. About half\r\na year after, I led out my goats early in the morning before the other\r\nshepherds, (for I was the nearest,) over a point of rock, called White\r\nPoint, when my goats turned to the right over a piece of rock that was\r\na good foot wide, but below which there was, in a frightful abyss more\r\nthan 1000 fathoms deep, nothing but rocks. From the ledge of the rock\r\none goat went up after the other, over one where they had scarcely room\r\nto put their feet on the little roots of grass which had grown on the\r\nrock. As soon as they were up, I wished to get after them. When,\r\nhowever, I had drawn myself up by the grass about a step, I could get\r\nno farther; neither did I dare to step upon the rock again, much less\r\nto jump backwards, for I was afraid if I did so that I should jump too\r\nfar, and so fall over the dreadful precipice. I remained therefore a\r\ngood while in this position, and waited for the help of God, for I\r\ncould not help myself; except that I held myself with both hands by a\r\nlittle tuft of grass, and supported myself by turns with my great toes\r\non another tuft of grass. In this predicament I suffered extreme\r\nanxiety; for I was afraid that the great vultures that flew about in\r\nthe air below me, would carry me away, as it sometimes does happen in\r\nthe Alps, that they take away children and lambs. Whilst I stood there\r\nand the wind blew about my garment behind--for I had no trowsers on--my\r\ncomrade Thomas perceived me from a distance, but did not know what it\r\nwas. When he saw my coat fluttering in the wind, he supposed that it\r\nwas a bird. When, however, he recognised me, he was so terrified that\r\nhe became quite pale, and called to me, \"Now, Tommy, stand still!\" Then\r\nhe hurried upon the ledge of rock, took me in his arms, and carried me\r\ndown again to where we could get after the goats another way. Some\r\nyears after, when I came home from the schools in distant lands, and my\r\ncompanion heard of it, he came, and reminded me how he had rescued me\r\nfrom death (as indeed is true, for which I give the glory to God). He\r\nsaid to me, that when I became a priest I should remember him, and pray\r\nto God for him. The master, however, with whom I served at that time,\r\nafterwards told my wife, \"That he had never had a better little\r\nservant, as young and small as I was.\" Amongst other sisters of my\r\nfather, was one of the name of Frances, who was unmarried, and my\r\nfather had particularly recommended me to her care, as being the\r\nyoungest child. When therefore the people told her in what a dangerous\r\nemployment I was engaged, and that I should certainly kill myself some\r\nday by a fall, she came to my master and declared to him that she would\r\nnot have me there any longer. At this he was dissatisfied; still she\r\ntook me away again to Grenchen, where I was born, and placed me with a\r\nrich old farmer who was called \"Hans im Boden.\" For him I was also\r\nobliged to mind the goats; when it happened one day that I and a little\r\ngirl (who also minded her father's goats) were playing by an artificial\r\nchannel, whereby the water was conducted down the mountain to the\r\ngrounds, and had forgotten ourselves in play. We had made little\r\nmeadows, and watered them as children do. In the mean while the goats\r\nhad gone up the mountain, we knew not whither. Then I left my little\r\ncoat lying there, and ascended the mountain up to the very top; the\r\nlittle girl however went home without the goats. I, on the contrary, as\r\na poor servant, would not venture to go home unless I had the goats. Up\r\nvery high I saw a kid that was just like one of my young goats, and\r\nthis I followed at a distance till the sun went down. When I looked\r\nback to the village and saw that at the houses it was quite night, I\r\nbegan to descend again; but it was soon quite dark. In the mean time I\r\nclimbed from one tree to another, and held myself by the loose roots\r\nfrom which the earth had fallen off. When however it became quite dark,\r\nI would not venture any farther, but held myself by my left hand on a\r\nroot; with the other I scratched the earth loose under the trees and\r\nroots, to hollow out a place to lie in, and listened how the lumps of\r\nearth rolled down into the abyss. Thereupon I forced myself into the\r\nopening which was made between the earth and roots, in order to lie\r\nfirmly, and not to fall down in my sleep. I had nothing on except a\r\nlittle shirt, neither shoes nor hat; for the little coat, in my anxiety\r\nat having lost the goats, I had left by the watercourse. As I lay under\r\nthe tree the ravens became aware that I was there, and made a noise on\r\nthe tree; so that I was in great terror, being afraid that a bear was\r\nat hand. I crossed myself, however, and fell asleep, and slept till the\r\nmorning, when the sun was shining over all the mountains. When however\r\nI awoke, and saw where I lay, I do not know that I was ever more\r\nfrightened in my life: for had I in the night gone four yards deeper, I\r\nmust have fallen down, a frightfully steep precipice many thousand feet\r\ndeep. I was in great trouble too about the mode of getting away from\r\nthence. I drew myself from one root to the other, till I again got to\r\nthe place from whence I could run down the mountain to the houses. When\r\nI was just out of the wood, near the farms, the little maid met me with\r\nthe goats which she was driving out again; for they had run home of\r\nthemselves the night before, and the people in whose service I was,\r\nwere very much frightened on account of my not having come home with\r\nthe goats. They believed that I had fallen and killed myself, and asked\r\nmy aunt and the people in that house in which I was born (for that\r\nstood next to the house in which I served) whether they knew any thing\r\nof me, for that I had not come home with the goats. From that time on\r\nthey would not allow me to mind goats any more, because they had to\r\nendure so much anxiety on my account. Whilst I was with this master and\r\ntended his goats, I once fell into a boiler of hot milk which stood on\r\nthe fire, and scalded myself, so that one could see the scars all my\r\nlife after. I was also in two other perils besides this while I was\r\nwith him. Once there were two of us little goatherds in the wood, and\r\nwere talking of various childish things: amongst others we wished that\r\nwe could fly, for then we would fly out of the mountain to Germany (for\r\nso Switzerland was called in St. Gall). On a sudden came a frightfully\r\nlarge bird darting down upon us, so that we thought it was going to\r\ncarry one or both of us away. At this we both began to scream, and to\r\ndefend ourselves with our shepherd's crooks, and to cross ourselves,\r\ntill the bird flew away; then we said to one another, \"We have done\r\nwrong in wishing to be able to fly; God did not create us for flying,\r\nbut for walking.\" Another time I was in a very deep fissure looking for\r\ncrystals, of which many were found in it. All at once I saw a stone as\r\nlarge as an oven starting from the side, and as I had no time to get\r\nout of the way, I stooped down upon my face. The stone fell several\r\nfathoms down to a spot above me, and from thence it made a spring away\r\nover me, so that I escaped with a whole skin. I had plenty of such joys\r\nand happiness on the mountains among the goats, of which I now remember\r\nnothing more. This I well know, that I seldom had whole toes, but often\r\ngreat bruises; had many bad falls; without shoes for the most part in\r\nsummer, or else wooden ones; and endured great thirst. My food was in\r\nthe morning, before day, a rye-broth, that is, a soup made of rye-meal.\r\nCheese and rye-bread are given in a little basket to be carried at\r\none's back; at night cheese-milk; of all however there was a fair\r\nallowance. In summer, lying on hay; in winter, on a straw mattrass full\r\nof all sorts of vermin. Such are the resting-places of the poor little\r\nshepherds who serve the farmers in the wildernesses.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 33860 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Platter, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 15, 2010 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Finn, Elizabeth Anne McCaul, 1825-1921 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Platter, Thomas,1499-1582 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219972456605,"sku":"gb-33860-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/33860.jpg?v=1671539220"},{"product_id":"the-salvaging-of-civilization-gb-33889","title":"The Salvaging of Civilization","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Salvaging of Civilization\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present outlook of human affairs is one that\r\nadmits of broad generalizations and that seems to\r\nrequire broad generalizations. We are in one of\r\nthose phases of experience which become cardinal\r\nin history. A series of immense and tragic events\r\nhave shattered the self-complacency and challenged\r\nthe will and intelligence of mankind. That easy\r\ngeneral forward movement of human affairs which\r\nfor several generations had seemed to justify the\r\npersuasion of a necessary and invincible progress,\r\nprogress towards greater powers, greater happiness,\r\nand a continual enlargement of life, has been\r\nchecked violently and perhaps arrested altogether.\r\nThe spectacular catastrophe of the Great War has\r\nrevealed an accumulation of destructive forces in\r\nour outwardly prosperous society, of which few of\r\nus had dreamt; and it has also revealed a profound\r\nincapacity to deal with and restrain these forces.\r\nThe two years of want, confusion, and indecision\r\n[Pg 2]that have followed the Great War in Europe and\r\nAsia, and the uncertainties that have disturbed life\r\neven in the comparatively untouched American\r\nworld, seem to many watchful minds even more\r\nominous to our social order than the war itself.\r\nWhat is happening to our race? they ask. Did\r\nthe prosperities and confident hopes with which the\r\ntwentieth century opened, mark nothing more than\r\na culmination of fortuitous good luck? Has the\r\ncycle of prosperity and progress closed? To what\r\nwill this staggering and blundering, the hatreds\r\nand mischievous adventures of the present time,\r\nbring us? Is the world in the opening of long\r\ncenturies of confusion and disaster such as ended\r\nthe Western Roman Empire in Europe or the\r\nHan prosperity in China? And if so, will the\r\ndebacle extend to America? Or is the American\r\n(and Pacific?) system still sufficiently removed and\r\nstill sufficiently autonomous to maintain a progressive\r\nmovement of its own if the Old World\r\ncollapse?\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 33889 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Wells, H.

An impression prevails that only\r\nthe last few generations have done work of serious significance in\r\neducation. The history of old-time education is neglected, or is\r\ntreated as of at most antiquarian interest and there is a failure to\r\nunderstand its true value. The connecting link between the lectures\r\nand addresses is the effort to express in terms of the present what\r\neducators were doing in the past. Once upon a time, when I proclaimed\r\nthe happiness of the English workmen of the Middle Ages, the very\r\npositive objection was raised, \"How could they be happy since their\r\nwages were only a few cents a day?\" For response it was only necessary\r\nto point out that for his eight cents, the minimum wage by act of\r\nParliament, the workman could buy a pair of handmade shoes, that being\r\nthe maximum price established by law, and other necessaries at similar\r\nprices. If old-time education is studied with this same care to\r\ntranslate its meaning into modern values, then the very oldest\r\neducation of which we have any record takes on significance even for\r\nour time.\r\n\n\r\nWhile it is generally supposed that there are many new features in\r\nmodern education, it requires but slight familiarity with educational\r\nhistory to know that there is very little that is novel. Such\r\nsupposedly new phases as nature-study and technical training and\r\nscience, physical as well as ethical, are all old stories, though they\r\nhave had negative phases during which it would be hard to to trace\r\nthem. The more we know about the history of education the greater is\r\nour respect for educators at all times. Nearly always they had a\r\nperfectly clear idea of what they were trying to do, they faced the\r\nproblems of education in quite the same spirit that we do and often\r\nsolved them very well. Indeed the results of many periods of old-time\r\neducation are much better than our own, even when judged by our\r\nstandards.\r\n\n\r\nUnfortunately there exists a very common persuasion that evolution\r\nplays a large role in education and that we, \"the heirs of all the\r\nages in the foremost files of time,\" are necessarily in the forefront\r\nof educational advance. There has been much progress in education in\r\nthe last century, but it would, indeed, be a hopeless world if there\r\nhad not been progress out of the depths in which education was plunged\r\nin the eighteenth century. There were a number of reformers in\r\neducation at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the\r\nnineteenth century. It was rather easy to be an educational reformer\r\nat that time. The lowest period in the history of {vii} education was\r\nabout the middle of the eighteenth century. It has been assumed that\r\nsince we are far ahead of that generation we must be still farther\r\nahead of the people who preceded them. That is the mistake. There are\r\nperiods of education of very great significance centuries long before\r\nthat time.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 34938 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Walsh, James J.

Professor Foster Watson quotes with approval\r\nCardinal Newmans dictum, Not a man in Europe who talks bravely against\r\nthe Church but owes it to the Church that he can talk at all.[1]\nIt is possible to trace three stages in the development of the English\r\neducational system during the period with which we are concerned.\nThe first stage covers a period from the Introduction of Christianity to\r\nthe Norman Conquest. The Introduction of Christianity was the means by\r\nwhich education became possible for this country, and so it naturally came\r\nabout that the provision of facilities for education was generally\r\nconceived of as a part of the function of the Church. In this connection\r\nit is important to realise the relationship of the State to the Church in\r\nAnglo-Saxon times. As Professor Medley points out,[2] the Church and the\r\nState during this period were largely identical. The bishops were\r\nex-officio the advisers of the kings, and they sat in the local courts\r\nnot only exercising jurisdiction in those cases in which the clergy were\r\naffected, but also concerning themselves with questions involving the\r\nmorals of the laity. In a more real sense than at any subsequent time, the\r\nChurch of England, during the Anglo-Saxon period, was the Church of the\r\nEnglish nation. During this time the activities of the Church were\r\nessentially the activities of the State, and the work which was done for\r\neducation might be conceived of, indifferently, as either the work of the\r\nChurch or of the State.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 36553 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Parry, Albert William \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 28, 2011 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Parry, Albert William,1874-1950 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220363542685,"sku":"gb-36553-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/36553.jpg?v=1671550473"},{"product_id":"l-instruction-publique-en-france-et-en-italie-au-dix-neuvieme-siecle-gb-37052","title":"L'Instruction Publique en France et en Italie au dix-neuvième siècle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eL'Instruction Publique en France et en Italie au dix-neuvième siècle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGot de la socit franaise sous Napolon Ier pour la langue italienne,\r\nque de sots propos et des mesures oppressives semblaient\r\nmenacer.Reprsentation de nos pices de thtre, et enseignement de\r\nnotre langue en Italie.Napolon Ier rorganise en Italie l'instruction\r\npublique.\nL'ducation des filles en Italie avant la Rvolution.Premire\r\ntentative de rforme au temps de la Rpublique Cisalpine.Admirable bon\r\nsens avec lequel Napolon approprie ses vues en pdagogie aux besoins de\r\nl'Italie.Collges de jeunes filles fonds par lui et par ses\r\nreprsentants, ou protgs par eux,  Bologne,  Naples,  Milan, \r\nVrone,  Lodi.\nLe personnel: Mme Caroline de Lort, Mme de Fitte de Soucy, Mmes de\r\nMaulevrier, etc.Libralit et bont du prince Eugne; courtoisie et\r\ntact du ministre italien.Plein succs du collge de Milan.L'opinion\r\npublique oblige les Autrichiens  le respecter.La deuxime directrice\r\nfranaise reste en fonctions jusqu'en 1849.\nLes collges de Vrone, de Lodi, de Naples, encore aujourd'hui, comme le\r\ncollge de Milan, vivants et prospres.

Arrangements were made with Mr. Herbert Railton for its\r\npictorial illustration. It had been intended in the first instance, that\r\nthe artists pen and ink sketches should have been reproduced by the\r\nordinary processes used in modern book illustration. But the poetic\r\nglamour of such a place as Cambridge and its genius loci did not allow\r\nthe enthusiasm of the artist to remain satisfied with such drawings only\r\nas might be readily reproduced by the ordinary processes. In addition to\r\nmany sketches in black and white, suitable for reproduction in the body\r\nof the text in illustration of interesting bits of architectural detail,\r\nor of quaint grouping, Mr. Railton has also drawn a series of\r\nlarge-sized pencil-pictures of the principal College buildings. These\r\ndrawings are so beautiful, so full of delicacy and tenderness and yet so\r\nfirm and effective in their treatment of light and shade, and show so\r\nmuch sympathy for the old buildings and all their picturesque charm,\r\nthat the Publisher at once felt that they must not be treated as\r\nordinary book illustrations. The artist had produced pictures worthy to\r\nbe classed with the best work of Samuel Prout. It became the duty of the\r\nPublisher to treat them with corresponding respect. The method of\r\nauto-lithography has accordingly been adopted, by which the plates are\r\nan absolute reproduction in size and tint of the pencil drawings, and\r\nthe artists work goes straight to the reader without any mechanical\r\nintervention. A new feature has been added by which the colour stones\r\nhave been made by Mrs. Railton acting in collaboration with her husband.\r\nThis process of reproduction necessarily involved a change in the\r\nproposed format of the book. It was determined, therefore, to issue in\r\nthe first instance an edition de luxe of The Story of Cambridge, on\r\nspecially prepared paper and in large quarto size. I have readily\r\nconsented to such a course, for although I may seem, by the more\r\nimposing form of a large Library Edition, to be guilty of some\r\npresumption in placing my Historical Sketch in competition with such\r\nhistories as those of Mr. Mullinger in the Epochs of History Series,\r\nor of my friend, Mr. T. D. Atkinson, in Cambridge Describedthe\r\nlarger books of Mr. J. W. Clark on the architectural history of\r\nCambridge, and of Mr. Mullinger on the general history of the University\r\nare already classics to which humbler writers on Cambridge can only look\r\nas to final authoritiesI can only hope that my readers will recognise\r\nthat my presumption is only apparent, and meanwhile I rest confident\r\nthat even the historical critic will have little care for the inadequacy\r\nof my prose rendering of The Story of Cambridge, absorbed as he must\r\nbe by his delight in the beauty of Mr. Railtons drawings. In any case,\r\nI shall be entirely satisfied if only my descriptive sketch is found\r\nadequate for the help of the general reader in appreciating the story of\r\nwhich the artist has been able to give so poetic an interpretation.\n\r\nC.

That explains\r\nwhy we have gathered here from far and wide to celebrate the\r\nhundredth anniversary of its founding.\nA hundred years seems a long time, even to some of us who\r\nfirst became students in this institution more than fifty years\r\nago. Many changes take place in the course of a century. Let\r\nus turn back the clock of Time and take a birds-eye view of\r\nthe year 1848, the year when Burritt College received its\r\ncharter.\nVan Buren County had been formed from White, Warren,\r\nand Bledsoe Counties only about eight years previously, and\r\nSpencer had been settled shortly afterwards as the county seat.\r\nThe little village was then quite isolated. The roads were\r\nrough, and a journey to Sparta or McMinnville, which now\r\ntakes but a short time, then required several hours particularly\r\non the return up the mountain. Though the Nashville, Chattanooga,\r\nand St. Louis Railway was under construction in 1848,\r\nit was not completed until 1853, and the branch from Tullahoma\r\nto McMinnville was not finished until 1858. There were\r\nnot many colleges in this part of the state. Irving College,\r\nrebuilt in 1845 and then chartered by the legislature, was\r\nflourishing, but the Cumberland Female College was not founded\r\nin McMinnville until 1850. When Burritt College was established,\r\nthere was no Vanderbilt University, no University of the\r\nSouth at Sewanee, no University of Tennessee, no Peabody\r\nCollege. Tennessee had been a state only 52 years; Nashville\r\nhad been the capital city only five years and the Capitol, which\r\nhad been commenced in 1845 with official ceremony, was quite\r\nunfinished.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 45185 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lewis, Charles Lee \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 21, 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lewis, Charles Lee,1886-1951 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221532278941,"sku":"gb-45185-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/45185.jpg?v=1671605141"},{"product_id":"the-great-educators-gb-46018","title":"The Great Educators","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLoyola and the Educational System of the Jesuits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA learned and elegant work, which narrates the\r\nrise and progress of Christian Schools, from the sixtieth\r\nyear of the Christian era onwards, ends its long\r\njourney at the date of the Reformation, and takes\r\nleave of its varied subject, and of its lines of Christian\r\nScholars, in these words: \"We leave them at\r\nthe moment when the episcopacy was recovering its\r\nancient jurisdiction over the ecclesiastical seminaries,\r\nand when a vast majority of the secular schools of\r\nCatholic Christendom were passing into the hands of\r\na great Religious Order, raised up, as it would seem,\r\nwith the special design of consolidating anew a system\r\nof Christian education.\"1\nTwo centuries and a half later, when the Society of\r\nJesus had run a long course, from the date of the\r\nReformation which had seen it rise, up to the eve of\r\nthe Revolution which beheld it extinct, a General of\r\nthe Order, Ignatius Visconti, addressing the Provincial4\r\nSuperiors over the world, takes note of a new stage in\r\nthe process of educational development: \"The taste\r\nfor letters now,\" he says, \"is more keen and exquisite,\r\nand the number of literary schools has increased so\r\nmuch, that ours may no longer appear so necessary.\r\nFor I may mention the fact that, besides our schools\r\nof polite letters, there were, for a long while, either\r\nnone or very few.

Speaking of\r\nGrammar classes, the German historian says: \"Here\r\nalso the Jesuits succeeded to admiration. It was\r\nfound that young people gained more with them in\r\nsix months, than with other teachers in two years.\r\nEven Protestants removed their children from distant\r\ngymnasia to confide them to the care of the\r\nJesuits.\"3 Ranke narrates in the same place how it\r\nwas \"toward the universities above all that the efforts\r\nof the Jesuits were directed.\" And he describes what\r\nthe results were in Germany.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 46018 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Hughes, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 18, 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Butler, Nicholas Murray, 1862-1947 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Hughes, Thomas,1849-1939 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221623636125,"sku":"gb-46018-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/46018.jpg?v=1671608254"},{"product_id":"mediaeval-town-series-gb-46274","title":"Mediæval town series","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOxford and Its Story\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE Story of Oxford touches the History of England, social and\r\npolitical, mental and architectural, at so many points, that it is\r\nimpossible to deal with it fully even in so large a volume as the\r\npresent.\nEven as it is, I have been unavoidably compelled to save space by\r\nomitting much that I had written and practically all my references and\r\nacknowledgments.

A few also were written for the Nightingale Nurses serving in\r\nEdinburgh.\nThe letters were not meant for publication, and indeed are hardly\r\nsuitable to be printed as a whole as there is naturally a good deal of\r\nrepetition in them. Since Miss Nightingales death, however, heads of\r\nnursing institutions and others have asked for copies of the addresses\r\nto be read or given to nurses, and her family hope that the publication\r\nof a selection may do something to carry further the intention with\r\nwhich they were originally written.\nPerhaps, too, not only nurses, but others, may care to read some of\r\nthese letters. There is a natural desire to understand the nature of a\r\ngreat mans or womans influence, and we see in the addresses something\r\nat least of what constituted Miss Nightingales power. Her earnest care\r\nfor the nurses, her intense desire that they should be perfect, speak\r\nin every line. They do not, of course, give full expression to the\r\nwriters mind. They were written after she had reached middle age, as\r\nfrom a teacher of long and wide experience to pupils much younger than\r\nherselfpupils some of whom had had very little schooling and did not\r\neasily read or write. The want of even elementary education and of\r\nhabits and traditions of discipline which grow in schools are\r\ndifficulties less felt now than in 1872, when Miss Nightingales first\r\nletter to nurses was written. At that time it was necessary in\r\naddressing such an audience to write very simply, without learned\r\nallusions (though some such appear in disguise) and without too great\r\nseverity and concentration of style. The familiar words of the Bible and\r\nhymns could appeal to the least learned among her hearers, and never\r\nlost their power with Miss Nightingale herself.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 49732 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Nightingale, Florence \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 18, 2015 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Nash, Rosalind Nightingale, 1862-1952 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Nightingale, Florence,1820-1910 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221950103709,"sku":"gb-49732-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/49732.jpg?v=1671622292"},{"product_id":"the-learned-lady-in-england-1650-1760-gb-49867","title":"The Learned Lady in England, 1650-1760","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Learned Lady in England, 1650-1760\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe theme to which this volume is specifically limited is\r\nthe position and achievements of learned women in England\r\nin the period between 1650 and 1760.

The Society living\r\nwithin its walls has reflected from age to age the\r\nsocial, religious, and intellectual conditions of the\r\nnation at large. Its many passing generations of\r\nteachers and students have left behind them a wealth\r\nof traditions honourable or the reverse. Yet it seems\r\nnot impossible to combine in one volume a series of\r\nCollege histories. What happened in one College\r\nhappened to some extent in all; and if, therefore,\r\ncertain periods or subjects which are fully dealt with\r\nin one College are omitted in others, a single volume\r\nought to be sufficient, not merely to narrate the salient\r\nfeatures of the history of each individual College, but\r\nalso to give an intelligible picture of College life\r\ngenerally at successive periods of time.\nThis is what the present volume seeks to do. Brasenose\r\nand Hertford chapters give a hint of the multiplicity\r\nof halls for Seculars out of which the Colleges\r\ngrew; in Trinity and Worcester chapters we have a\r\nglimpse of the houses for Regulars which for a while\r\nmated the Colleges, but disappeared at the Reformation.\r\nIn Queens College, early social conditions are described;[vi]\r\nin New College, early studies. Balliol College gives\r\nprominence to the Renaissance movement; Corpus\r\nChristi to the consequent changes in studies. In\r\nMagdalen College we see the divisions and fluctuations\r\nof opinions which followed the Reformation; in S.\r\nJohns, the golden age of the early Stuarts; in Merton,\r\nthe dissensions of the Civil War; in Exeter College, the\r\nstrong contrast between Commonwealth and Restoration.\r\nUniversity College naturally enlarges on the\r\nRomanist attempt under James II. The bright and\r\ndark sides of the eighteenth century are exhibited in\r\nPembroke and Lincoln. To Corpus, which had described\r\nthe Renaissance, it belongs almost of right to depict the\r\nrenewed love of letters which distinguishes the present\r\ncentury. And as with successive phases of social and\r\nintellectual life, so with other matters of interest. Oriel\r\nCollege gives a full account of the different books of\r\nrecord of a College, and of the long warfare of contested\r\nelections. Lincoln College sets forth the constitutional\r\narrangements of a pre-Reformation College. Lincoln\r\nand Worcester show through what uncertainties projected\r\nColleges have to pass before they are legally\r\nsettled. Christ Church suggests the architectural and\r\nartistic wealth of Oxford.\nIt is only fair to the writers of the separate chapters\r\nto say that the limits of length imposed on them, and\r\nthe selection of subjects for special treatment, are not of\r\ntheir own choosing. Space for fuller treatment in each\r\ncase is of necessity wanting; but somewhat greater latitude\r\nhas been allowed to those less fortunate Colleges\r\nwhich have no history of their own, extant or in prospect.\r\nColleges which have found their historian, will\r\nnot, it is hoped, grudge their sisters this consolation.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 52286 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Clark, Andrew \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 9, 2016 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Clark, Andrew, 1856-1922 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Clark, Andrew,1856-1922 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43226970882205,"sku":"gb-52286-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/52286.jpg?v=1671944581"},{"product_id":"15-institute-lessons-in-language-arithmetic-and-u-s-history-gb-52429","title":"15 Institute Lessons in Language, Arithmetic, and U.S. History","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFifteen Institute Lessons in Language, Arithmetic, and U.S. History\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teacher should ask questions about the objects and incidents of the\r\nreading lesson; the most difficult words of the lesson should be placed on the\r\nboard and used as an exercise in rapid pronunciation and spelling; let the\r\npupils pass rapidly through a paragraph, pronouncing the words of two-syllables,\r\nthree-syllables, etc.; and, as soon as the advancement of the class\r\nwill permit, the pupil should pass through a paragraph naming the parts of\r\nspeech, the phrases, the propositions, and the sentences, now and then classifying\r\nthem.\nFrequently, as a pupil reads, the rest of the class should be required to\r\nclose their books and turn their attention directly to what is being read; when\r\nthe reader is through, the teacher should question the listeners carefully until\r\nevery point of what was read is brought out clearly,the reading itself to be\r\nproperly criticised.

These great men were regarded by their contemporaries\r\nas a triumvirate of leaders of the Renascence\r\nmovement, at any rate outside of Italy. The name of\r\nErasmus is now the most generally known of the three, but\r\nin one of his letters Erasmus stated his fear that he would\r\nbe eclipsed by Vives. No doubt Erasmus was the greatest\r\npropagandist of Renascence ideas and the Renascence spirit.\r\nNo doubt Bud, by his Commentarii Linguae Graecae (1529),\r\nestablished himself as the greatest Greek scholar of the age.\r\nEqually, without doubt, it would appear to those who have\r\nstudied the educational writings of Erasmus, Bud, and\r\nVives, the claim might reasonably be entered for J. L.\r\nVives that his De Tradendis Disciplinis placed him first of\r\nthe three as a writer on educational theory and practice.\r\nIn 1539 Vives published at Paris the Linguae Latinae Exercitatio,\r\ni.e., the School Dialogues which are for the first time,\r\nin the present volume, presented to the English reader.\nJuan Luis Vives was born, March 6, 1492 (the year of\r\nColumbuss discovery of America), at Valencia, in Spain. His\r\nfather was Luis Vives, of high-born ancestry, whose device was\r\nSiempre vivas. Similarly his mother, Blanca March, was of\r\na good family, which had produced several poets. Vives\r\nhimself has described his parents, their relation to each otherviii\r\nand to himself, in two passages in his De Institutione Feminae\r\nChristianae (1523). This work was translated into English\r\n(c. 1540) by Richard Hyrde. As the two passages contain all\r\nthat is known of the parents, and give a short but picturesque\r\nidea of the household relations, I transcribe them from\r\nHyrdes translation: My mother Blanca, when she had\r\nbeen fifteen years married unto my father, I could never see\r\nher strive with my father. There were two sayings that she\r\nhad ever in her mouth as proverbs. When she would say she\r\nbelieved well anything, then she used to say, It is even as\r\nthough Luis Vives had spoken it. When she would say she\r\nwould anything, she used to say, It is even as though Luis\r\nVives would it. I have heard my father say many times,\r\nbut especially once, when one told him of a saying of Scipio\r\nAfrican the younger, or else of Pomponius Atticus (I ween it\r\nwere the saying of them both), that they never made agreement\r\nwith their mothers. Nor I with my wife, said he,\r\nwhich is a greater thing. When others that heard this\r\nsaying wondered upon it, and the concord of Vives and\r\nBlanca was taken up and used in a manner for a proverb, he\r\nwas wont to answer like as Scipio was, who said he never\r\nmade agreement with his mother, because he never made\r\ndebate with her. But it is not to be much talked in a book\r\n(made for another purpose) of my most holy mother, whom\r\nI doubt not now to have in heaven the fruit and reward of\r\nher holy and pure living.\nVives states that he had the intention of writing a book\r\nof her acts and her life, and no one who reads the foregoing\r\npassage will be otherwise than regretful that he failed to\r\ncarry out this purpose. As it is, we must content ourselves\r\nwith another passage.1\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 56286 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Vives, Juan Luis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 2, 2018 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Watson, Foster, 1860-1929 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Vives, Juan Luis,1492-1540 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43238119145629,"sku":"gb-56286-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/56286.jpg?v=1672329504"},{"product_id":"sarah-winnemucca-s-practical-solution-of-the-indian-problem-gb-57526","title":"Sarah Winnemucca's Practical Solution of the Indian Problem","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Winnemucca's Practical Solution of the Indian Problem - A Letter to Dr. Lyman Abbot of the \"Christian Union\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause you so cordially announced Sarah Winnemuccas\r\nNew Departure, a year or more ago,\r\nas the Christian Unions solution of the Indian problem,\r\nI send you this Report that I am now desirous\r\nto make to the public, unofficial and official, of her\r\nprogress.

Many of the\nreforms represented by the realists occupy no inconsiderable\nplace in the platforms of modern practitioners\nof education; and in the belief that a history\nof the movement might contribute toward the ultimate\nreforms which realism represents, it has seemed\nexpedient to focus such a survey on the life and\nteachings of the strongest personality and chief exponent\nof the movement.\nThe condition of education in Europe during the\nsixteenth century is briefly told in the opening chapviter;\nfollowing are given the traces of the educational\ndevelopment of Comenius in the writings of Vives,\nBacon, and Ratke; three chapters are devoted to the\nlife of Comenius and the reforms in which he actively\nparticipated; an exposition of his educational writings\nhas three chapters; a chapter is given to the influence\nof Comenius on Francke, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, and\nother modern reformers; and the closing chapter\nsums up his permanent influence.

Not only were all business documents, such as\r\nminutes of council meetings, nomination papers, examination\r\nquestions carefully preserved, she kept also\r\nall letters which could be of any interest. She went\r\nfurther than merely arranging materials for a future\r\nbook. In 1900 she compiled a very complete History\r\nof the Ladies College. Here she traced its origin,\r\ngrowth, and expansion; here, too, she named most\r\ncarefully all who by earnest work and self-denial, by\r\nindustry, talent, or generous gift, had in any way contributed\r\nto its wellbeing and influence. She was anxious\r\nthat all faithful work should be known.\nBut Miss Beale recognised that after her death there\r\nwould be a demand for something more. She was\r\nearnestly desirous that in any account which might\r\nappear of herself, the work for which she lived should have\r\nthe first place. With her innate sensitiveness, she shrank\r\nfrom the thought of a Life. It would not indeed be\r\npossible to write a life of Dorothea Beale which was not\r\nalso, fully and intimately, a Life of the Ladies College,\r\nCheltenham. Yet Miss Beale left some materials for the\r\nmore personal side of the bookmany letters, diaries,\r\nand autobiographical fragments.

It is believed that, if this subject is to contribute\r\nto the professional equipment of the teacher, its\r\nmaterial must be selected with reference to his specific\r\nneeds. Antiquarian interests and encyclopdic completeness\r\nare alluring and may in their place prove praiseworthy\r\nand valuable, but they do not in themselves\r\nsupply any definite demand in the training of teachers.\r\nThe greatest services that the History of Education can\r\nperform for the teacher are to impel him to analyze his\r\nproblems more completely and to throw light upon the\r\nschool practices with which he is himself concerned. By\r\npresenting a series of clear-cut views of past conditions,\r\noften in marked contrast to his own, it should make him\r\nconscious that the present educational situation has to\r\na large degree been traditionally received, and it should\r\nat the same time especially help him to understand the\r\norigin and significance of current practices.\nIn this way a study of the History of Education will\r\ndisrupt the teachers complacent acceptance of the present,\r\nand will enable him to reconstruct his ideas in the\r\nlight of the peculiar conditions out of which the education\r\nof his times has sprung. Whenever historical records\r\ndo not assist in such an analysis and synthesis of present\r\nday problems, they may be frankly dismissed from discussion.\r\nThis conception of the subject, I have myself,\r\nviii\r\nwith much reluctance, come to accept. My own regard\r\nfor the classics, philosophy, and general history as college\r\ndisciplines has caused me to view with apprehension\r\nany disposition to curtail their scope. It now\r\nseems clear, however, that the modern tendency to emphasize\r\nthe functional aspects of the History of Education\r\nis both necessary and wise. The present work,\r\ntherefore, is not a mere condensation of my History of\r\nEducation in Three Volumes, but has been very largely\r\nre-written from the new angle.\nIn the first place, I have sought to stress educational\r\ninstitutions and practices, rather than theories that did\r\nnot find embodiment in the times. This has led to the\r\nomission of much that is unessential or more strictly related\r\nto philosophy, general history, or literature. For\r\nexample, even the immortal work of Plato and Aristotle\r\nhas been epitomized; the entire subject of mysticism\r\nand most of scholasticism have been dropped; the masterpieces\r\nof such pure theorists as Rabelais, Montaigne,\r\nand Mulcaster, are barely mentioned; and the various\r\nhistorical epochs are given only so much detail as may\r\nbe needed to form a social setting for the educational\r\nmovements of those periods.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 60113 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Graves, Frank Pierrepont \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 17, 2019 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Graves, Frank Pierrepont,1869-1956 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43245852786845,"sku":"gb-60113-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/60113.webp?v=1672843925"},{"product_id":"trustees-of-the-john-f-slater-fund-occasional-papers-no-3-gb-60180","title":"Trustees of the John F.

I was at the\r\nhighest point of the Gemmi Pass in Switzerland, above the[xix]\r\nRhone Valley; and being in a hurry to get down and\r\novertake my party I ran from the top to the bottom. The\r\npath in those days was not so good as it is now, and it is so\r\nnear the precipice that a few years afterwards a lady in\r\ndescending lost her head and fell over. No doubt I was\r\nin great danger of a drop of a thousand feet or so. But of\r\nthis I was totally unconscious. I was in a thick mist, and\r\nsaw the path for a few yards in front of me and nothing more.\r\nWhen I think of the way in which this book was written three\r\nand twenty years ago I can compare it to nothing but my\r\nfirst descent of the Gemmi. I did a very risky thing without\r\nknowing it. My path came into view little by little as I went\r\non. All else was hid from me by a thick mist of ignorance.\r\nWhen I began the book I knew next to nothing of the Reformers,\r\nbut I studied hard and wrote hard, and I turned out\r\nthe essays within the year. This feat I now regard with amazement,\r\nalmost with horror. Since that time I have given\r\nmore years of work to the subject than I had then given\r\nmonths, and the consequence is I find I can write fast no\r\nlonger. The mist has in a measure cleared off, and I cannot\r\njog along in comfort as I did when I saw less. At the same\r\ntime I have no reason to repent of the adventure. Being\r\nfortunate in my plan and thoroughly interested by my\r\nsubject, I succeeded beyond my wildest expectations in\r\ngetting others to take an interest in it also. The small\r\nEnglish edition of 500 copies was, as soon as I reduced the\r\nprice, sold off immediately, and the book has been, in\r\nEngland, for twenty years out of print. But no less than\r\nthree publishing firms in the United States have reprinted\r\nit (one quite recently) without my consent, and, except in\r\nthe edition of Messrs. R. Clarke \u0026amp; Co., Cincinnati, with\r\nomissions and additions made without my knowledge. It\r\nseems then that the book will live for some years yet,[xx]\r\nwhether I like it or not; and while it lives I wish it to be\r\nin a form somewhat less defective than at its first appearance.\r\nI have therefore in a great measure re-written it, beside\r\nfilling in a gap here and there with an additional essay.\r\nPerhaps some critics will call it a new book with an old\r\ntitle. If they do, they will I trust allow that the new book\r\nhas at least two merits which went far to secure the success\r\nof the old, 1st, a good title, and 2nd, a good plan. My\r\nplan in both editions has been to select a few people who\r\nseemed specially worth knowing about, and to tell concerning\r\nthem in some detail just that which seemed to me\r\nspecially worth knowing. So I have given what I thought\r\nvery valuable or very interesting, and everything I thought\r\nnot particularly valuable or interesting I have ruthlessly\r\nomitted. I have not attempted a complete account of anybody\r\nor anything; and as for what the examiner may set,\r\nI have not once given his questions a thought.\nAs the book is likely to have more readers in the country\r\nof its adoption than in the country of its birth, I have persuaded\r\nmy friend Dr. William T.
