Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School History of England IN the small space allowed me in this little book, I have tried to set before young readers a connected history of the rise and development of England. While giving as far as possible the chief facts required by students, I have been especially anxious to present a vivid picture of the life, the difficulties, and the achieve ments of our ancestors showing how our laws, our constitution, our trade, and our colonies have arisen. If this short sketch opens the way to the study of more comprehensive histories, leading those now growing up into citizens of a Widespread empire to take a lively interest in the past, present, and future of our nation, it will have done its work.

Download or read book Ontario High School History of England Classic Reprint written by George M. Wrong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ontario High School History of England Climate. - Father Ocean, it has been said, has a bias toward England. The in uence of the warm winds sweeping across the Atlantic to her shores brings a mild climate to latitudes that in America are Arctic. It is strange to think that London is in the same latitude as parts of Hudson Bay. England rarely has severe cold. The average difference of temperature between the warm est and the coldest months of the year is not more - than twenty-five degrees, and changes in the seasons are so slight that her people can live an outdoor life throughout the year. There is, for instance, no month when rowing ceases on the Thames or when frost wholly forbids plough ing. Winds are stronger and more rain falls in England than in the adjacent regions of the continent. Charles II, who had dwelt in many lands, said that the best climate was one which permitted men to be abroad with pleasure, or at least without trouble and inconvenience, for the most days of the year and the most hours of the day. This condition, he thought, vprevailed in England more than in any other country in Europe, and without doubt it has helped to make the English an active race.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of the United States The object aimed at in the preparation of this book was to produce a systematic, brief, clear, and authentic history of the United States for the use of schools. The plan is simple. N o arbitrary division into historical periods and eras is employed, but each chapter embraces associated events and forms a natural link in an unbroken chain. A strictly chronological order of arrangement is followed, whereby occurrences are shown in their true relation to one another, and to their causes. The most important dates are made prominent in the text by a peculiar type. A condensed record of general progress is placed at the end of almost every chapter, designed to interest the pupil in the civil and domestic character of the country, and in employments, institutions, and ideas not directly connected with wars, politics, or national legislation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Class of 1870: English High School Building rests in my eye now; the tall building, rearing its granite front between those even more ambitious, which shut out the much-needed light and air; and then inside, - well, all of us in '70 know the inside from roof to foundation. Did not the R. Society meet in the cellar Well, they can describe its exits and entrances; and the circular stairway, with its well in the centre, where we used to drop in fact, anything, on the heads below; the scarred, notched, and battered railing; the wide, airy hall at the top, and the dark, dirty rooms below; the master's desk on the right, the sink in the left hand corner, and the hard-used blackboard on two sides are they not all familiar to us? But not to you, oh high school boy of the future. Light and elegance, and air and beauty; these will be your portion, and only see that you appreciate it, and do not let them pamper your education from you, but if you must know that to your fathers education was a stern duty, and in comfortless rooms, bare of ornament save such little marks as er ratic sponges or other missiles might have left on the walls, they garnered the wisdom which has made them plan out and realize, as they will, the splendid edifice which caught my eye and caused the opening of this sketch. And now to you, dear classmates, the writer turns, to revel with you in the scenes closely allied to the old school-house; to take you back to the dear old times, and leave to posterity a record, as far as it is pos sible to compile one, of the doings of the Class of 1870, written not consecutively, not chronologically, but as they come into the writer's mind, but always written without envy and without malice.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of the United States It is also thought that some books by Southern authors are either unsuitable for the schoolroom, or lose their value by an attempt to be neutral, and hence colorless, on the great questions that have divided the sections, and that, compiling from Northern histories, they have fallen into many of their errors. For some twenty years I have been collecting material and pre paring myself for the task, studying earnestly not only the best of the current histories, but original sources of information as well, and diligently seeking to reach the exact truth on all disputed points. Born, reared, and educated on Southern soil, following for four years with youthful devotion the battle-flag of the Southern Confed cracy, for twelve years Secretary of the Southern Historical Society, and during all of these years devoting time and close attention to American history, I may claim that I have had some facilities for ascertaining facts, and some qualifications for preparing, a history of the United States which shall be acceptable to the South, and fit to be taught in her schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early New England Schools The order is that of the logical development of the schools through their various transition periods, with such excerpts from the laws as show the growth in legal power. The motive for the work lies in the following statement in Mr. George H. Martin's preface to his book, The Evolution of the Massachusetts School System. He says, This book is not a history for such a work the materials are ample and only await the approach of some one who has time and the inclination to use them. The curiosity aroused by that statement led to the first record, that to the second, until curiosity became a disease. However, this is not a history, but rather the materials out of which history may be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Central High School of Philadelphia My colleagues of the present Faculty will understand that the brief treatment which is accorded those who have been elected to the Faculty since 188 5 is not to be attributed to any lack of appreciation of the good work that has been done in the recent period. But I have felt that an exhaustive discussion of their work can come more appropriately at a later time. It is for the same reason that the collection of the portraits of the Faculty includes only those elected to professorships prior to 1890.
