Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Ragged Schools: Or Prevention Better Than Cure "Can hope look forward to a manhood raised On such foundations?" "'Hope is none for him!' The pale recluse indignantly exclaimed; 'And tens of thousands suffer wrongs as deep.' "At this day Who shall enumerate the crazy huts And tottering hovels, whence do issue forth A ragged offspring, with thin upright hair, Crowned like the image of fantastic Fear; Or wearing (shall we say?) in that white growth An ill-adjusted turban, for defence Or fierceness, wreathed around their sun-burnt brows By savage Nature? Shrivelled are their lips; Naked, and coloured like the soil, the feet On which they stand, as if thereby they drew Some nourishment, as trees do by their roots, From earth, the common mother of us all. Figure and mien, complexion and attire, Are leagued to strike dismay; but outstretched hand And whining voice denote them suppliants For the least boon that pity can bestow." Wordsworth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a prominent criminal law professor, a provocative and timely exploration of how plea bargaining prevents true criminal justice reform and how we can fix it—now in paperback When Americans think of the criminal justice system, the image that comes to mind is a trial-a standard courtroom scene with a defendant, attorneys, a judge, and most important, a jury. It's a fair assumption. The right to a trial by jury is enshrined in both the body of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It's supposed to be the foundation that undergirds our entire justice system. But in Punishment Without Trial: Why Plea Bargaining Is a Bad Deal, University of North Carolina law professor Carissa Byrne Hessick shows that the popular conception of a jury trial couldn't be further from reality. That bedrock constitutional right has all but disappeared thanks to the unstoppable march of plea bargaining, which began to take hold during Prohibition and has skyrocketed since 1971, when it was affirmed as constitutional by the Supreme Court. Nearly every aspect of our criminal justice system encourages defendants-whether they're innocent or guilty-to take a plea deal. Punishment Without Trial showcases how plea bargaining has undermined justice at every turn and across socioeconomic and racial divides. It forces the hand of lawyers, judges, and defendants, turning our legal system into a ruthlessly efficient mass incarceration machine that is dogging our jails and punishing citizens because it's the path of least resistance. Professor Hessick makes the case against plea bargaining as she illustrates how it has damaged our justice system while presenting an innovative set of reforms for how we can fix it. An impassioned, urgent argument about the future of criminal justice reform, Punishment Without Trial will change the way you view the criminal justice system.

This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This influential work was published in 1847 and advocates for the creation and support of schools for impoverished children, who would otherwise not have access to education. Guthrie, a Scottish minister and social reformer, founded several such institutions and believed that education was a way to break the cycle of poverty and social inequality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Ann Shadd’s pamphlet A Plea for Emigration; or Notes of Canada West is, as the title promises, a settler guide designed to inform prospective immigrants of conditions in their proposed new home. But whereas most such works were addressed to potential white emigrants to North America from Britain or continental Europe, Shadd’s aimed to entice black Americans to emigrate to Canada. The introduction and background materials included in the volume situate Shadd’s pamphlet in its political and cultural context, and in the context of Shadd’s own remarkable life as an abolitionist, women’s rights activist, writer, and educator.

This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for the Children of the Elementary and Grade Schools A suit of clothing, be it ever so cheap, is valuable to a man in proportion to the measure of comfort and happiness it affords him, and when, by reason of his physical, aesthetic or fastidious developement, or by reason of its own wear and tear, it fails to serve him satisfactorily, he has no compunction in laying it aside for another which better meets his immediate need. The mere hut, which was once sufficient shelter against material enemies, is no longer a home for civilized man, his advancement along innumerable practical and artistic lines requires furnishings and trappings which his earlier condition never dreamed of. Many of the old ideas which man once held sacred, as a part of his religion, are now listed in the category of superstition. With the chains of darkness and ignorance broken, he is left free to exercise both mind and hand in studying and applying the laws of his Creator for perpetuating his own existence. In Mediaeval times the church undertook to establish a system of mental training which would prepare the clergy for their particular line of work. It was an attempt to develope knowledge from consciousness, by a course of gymnastics in formal reasoning, and any sort of observation, experiment or investigation was tabood. A course was designed for the education of church officials, who constituted a leisure class and who, to show that they were separated from the laboring classes, instituted the custom of wearing extra long sleeves with white cuffs. At that time universal education was not even thought of, in fact such a venture could not have been voiced with any guarantee of safety to those advocating it. Education was kept under the control of the ruling classes, it was a monopoly of the aristocracy, for they realized that a thinking people do not serve well under tyranny. "Know the truth and it shall make you free" has many literal as well as figurative applications. Without entering into a discussion of the historic development of our school system as it stands today, suffice it to say, that we have attempted the great problem of educating all the people. And most of our states have gone so far as to pass laws compelling all children under a specified age, usually fourteen or sixteen years, to attend some school. This is a tremendous task, for at least two very evident reasons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author gives us a vision of educational reform that transcends standards, curriculum, and instructional strategies.
