Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin-American Universities and Special Schools In referring to universities I have consistently designated them by the name of the city in which they are located, although that is not always their official and corporate name. The ecclesiastical founda tions of colonial times uniformly bore the name of a saint: San Marcos, at Lima; San Felipe, at Santiago de Chile; San Francisco Xavier, at Sucre, etc. In very few cases have the old names remained. Some institutions have received the name of the country, as the Uni versity of Chile; others the name of the city, as University of Cor doba. In order to avoid confusion and to indicate clearly the location of the institutions I have applied to each the name of the city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin American Secondary Schools: Courses of Study The number of students coming from the Latin American countries to continue their studies in institutions of the United States has been increasing greatly during the last four years. With the purpose of facilitating the process of their admission to colleges or technical schools, the Section of Education of the Pan American Union has prepared this monograph. The aim has been to present in a concrete and clear manner the primary and second ary school preparation which these students have had in their respective countries. This is, therefore, a cross-section of the public. School systems of the Latin American republics, showing the place of secondary education in its relation to primary and higher education. The important facts presented under each country are: grades (or years) covered by primary school; secondary school course, specifying subjects, periods per week, length of recitation period, length of school year, and relation of the secondary school course to higher studies. Incidentally a few other facts, which may be of interest to the student of School Administration, have been added whenever it has been pos sible to obtain them; using the latest official data available.

Download or read book Latin American Universities and Special Schools Bulletin 1912 No 30 Whole Number 504 written by Edgar Ewing Brandon and published by . This book was released on 1913 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the result of personal observation and investigation. During the latter part of 1911 and the first part of 1912 the author traveled in almost all the countries of Latin America, studying the institutions of higher and special education. The author visited practically all the universities and a great many normal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural schools, with the ambition of observing at first-hand their organization, administration, curricula, methods, and physical equipment. In addition to interviews with administrative officers, instructors, and students, the author gathered all the printed matter available, such as official reports, curricula, laws, and statutes of the institutions, historical notes, university and student publications, and statistical memoranda. Even for institutions not visited the author has had access in most cases to original official reports. It would therefore be useless to append a detailed bibliography, since it could only be an enumeration of university annuals and similar publications. The present treatise lays no claim to completeness. It is a general survey of the whole wide subject of higher and special education in Latin America, and is given to the public in the hope of conveying a comprehensive idea of Latin-American educational institutions and of provoking more detailed studies in an interesting field. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 71 plates.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges It was found that my dear and honoured master had left a writ ten request that his work should be completed by me, in consul tation with his colleagues, Professors Frederic De Forest Allen and Clement Lawrence Smith. A month had scarcely passed when scholars everywhere had another heavy loss to mourn in the sudden death of Professor Allen. Almost immediately after wards, Professor Smith left this country, to take charge for a year of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, but not be fore we had agreed that circumstances required the early publica tion of the book, notwithstanding his absence. I was thus deprived of two eminent counsellors, whose knowledge and experience would have been of inestimable assistance.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Imperative Needs for the Study of Hispanic, American History in Our Schools and Colleges Of these twenty republics of Hispanic America, some, of their own initiative, may never progress very far beyond the stage to which they have already attained; others as Argentine, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, and Cuba have already acquired new importance in the eyes of the world. But aside from individual countries, the Hispanic American republics, taken collectively, or in groups - as Argentine, Brazil, and Chile, which form the famous A. B. C. confederation - have most certainly assumed a very important position in the world today which gives promise of a much greater importance in the years to come. If for no other reason, so great an area and so thinly populated, where such vast natural resources, of which other nations are in need, can be found comparatively untouched, is sure to exercise some day a strong balance of power. The last generation witnessed the rise of the United States of America to the highest pinnacle of power and influence; it is no wild stretch of the imagination to point out the possibility of a corresponding development of Hispanic America in the next few generations. So much for Hispanic America in general and for its potential possibilities. It is the purpose of this paper, however, to show, in the first place, the relation between the historical development of Hispanic America and the expansion and development of European civilization in general, and, in the second place, to explain the particular interest and connection between certain important but often over-looked facts in Hispanic American history and other better known ones in the historical development of the United States of America.

Download or read book Suggested Next Steps in Latin America Classic Reprint written by Forrest L. Knapp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggested Next Steps in Latin America As I boarded the Pan American plane at Miami on April 17, 1942 for a four months' trip to the countries of South and Central America, this question was dominant in my mind: What next step is most important in each country of Latin America in order to bring about an advance in Christian education? Clearly, it would not be possible to solve all the problems of the Evangelical forces by a single sweep of a wand of mighty magic; but a significant forward move might result if just the right service could be rendered at those points from which its influence would radiate most effectively to the whole constituency. The trip took me to all the countries of South America except the Guianas, to all countries of Central America except British Honduras, and to Jamaica and Mexico. Previously I had visited Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The outline map across the page shows the routes of these journeys. The first was by boat and train, the second by boat and plane, and the third entirely by plane except for a few side-trips. This pamphlet contains informal accounts of the visits, of impressions received, and of suggested next steps. No effort has been made to describe all that I saw and heard in any country. It is intended to be neither comprehensive in scope nor exhaustive in detail; rather it is illustrative and introductory. When one is introducing a friend to a group of friends, he does not tell everything about each, but gives the name and some interesting item of information which will invite further acquaintance, and it is no reflection upon the others if he happens to say more about one than he does about the rest. I like my new friends in Latin America and wish others everywhere to meet them and to gain a sense of abiding fellowship with them in their work. I hope that the suggested next steps will prove worthy and will receive careful consideration by those who can help to make them possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Man's Chances in South and Central America: A Study of Opportunity In the field of foreign trade the practical work of the Congress has been, first, in the line of education, by endeavoring to have the geography of the Western Hemisphere taught in our schools and te-studied by our business leaders; to divert the many students of Latin America, who leave their countries to enjoy the educational advantages of Bumpe, to the colleges and universities of the United States; to use legitimately the press of this country and of Latin America, the many government publications, official magazines and other journals in educational propaganda, bringing about a better understanding between the peoples of the two great continents; and to have Spanish in particular but also Portuguese and French studied in our schools. To this end the Congress has not only used all the means at its command, but has disseminated its appeal through the United States Bureau of Edu cation. With the announcement to the world of the open ing of the Panama Canal there are to come adjust ments in transportation that may fluctuate and be unsteady for a period, but must ultimately become established along lines of genuine economic advantage. The South is in a position, on the simple basis of transportation, understood by all business men, to cut distances in half by way of the Panama Canal, with many of the great ports of the East and the West. I am not one of those who expect magic advantage to come immediately to the Southern States, but I have the conviction that the physical advantages in coast line and navigable streams, together with the proxim ity to Latin America, insures the extension and use of our Gulf and South Atlantic ports, the building up of our cities, and the general prosperity of our people. The Gulf ports that during the centuries have been, in a sense, in a pocket of the great sea, are now upon a highway of world commerce.

Download or read book Teaching High School Latin written by Josiah Bethea Game and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teaching High-School Latin: A Handbook This little book represents a revision and enlargement of the Handbook for high-school Teachers of Latin which was published as a bulletin of the Missouri State Normal School, Cape Girardeau, in 1907, while the writer was connected with that institution as professor of Latin and Greek. That bulletin had a surprising popularity. An edition of five thousand was distributed within a short time, mainly in response to requests from all parts of the country. Even after a lapse of more than eight years, calls for Copies are frequently received. An earnest effort has been made to prepare a practical manual that will meet some of the immediate needs of the young teacher of Latin. The plans proposed represent actual experience in the high school, the normal school, and the college. They have been tested thoroughly and found effective. They do not represent a final solution of all the problems of the young teacher, but they do represent the best contribution the writer can now make to the cause of better teaching in our schools. Some of the suggestions here given were made originally by Professor C. U. Clark, director of the American Acad emy, Rome, Italy. My obligation to him is very great. Professors G. J. Laing and F. J. Miller, of the University of Chicago, did me the kindness to read the manuscript and make suggestions which have added very much to the value of the book. Their help is fully appreciated.
