Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 57: Boston Latin School; March 1938 In the first place, the Latin School student goes through a certain routine every day. Even so, his life is not monotonous and humdrum. For instance, every week day, he arises at seven o'clock in the morning (or seven-thirty, or eight), washes, eats his breakfast, packs his books, and arrives in school at eight-thirty (or nine, or nine-thirty). Let us pass Over the next painful five and a half hours, as they are particularly systematized. At any rate, the student is out of class at two-thirty, packs his books, engages in the usual small-talk, and leaves at two-forty. Arriving home, he enjoys some form of recreation for an hour. He does an hour's home work before eating, returns to homework, finishes up, and goes to bed as soon as possible - perhaps at ten - thirty or eleven o'clock. Let us now take up the system from nine to two-thirty. Did we say that he finishes his homework at night? That was wrong. In the majority of cases, his Latin is done before school (if he can get in early enough to join in the huddle), and some other home lesson in the study and home-room periods; that is, if he can write fast enough. Most numerous of all are the formulas for fixing up what he has not the time to do, and almost equal in number are the systems for applying these formulas. In fact, so numerous are they that we are unable in this short article to cite them specifically. But there is a system for evading homework, for evading misdemeanor marks received for evading homework, for evading teachers in order to evade the marks, and so forth. Like the brook, we could go on forever in this tale of evasion. These systems are so natural, albeit they do reduce life to a routine, that a boy can and does follow them without thinking about them. He does not say to him self, What shall I do next? He goes ahead and does it. Thus, his mind is more free to devote his thinking to the important matters of his subjects. Too, the routine is well broken up by variations one encounters in study. One day he must learn one thing, next day he must learn another; one day he finds a new thought, the day after, another new thought. He is forever encountering novelties (in the way of human actions, perhaps!) in the hours that he attends classes, and he enjoys himself in the recess - and lunch - periods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latin School Register, Vol. 8: September, 1888 The Latin School Battalion, taken as a whole, has always been one of the best in the School Regiment. It is, perhaps. Natural that such should be the case. The course of study is longer in our school than in any of the others, and most of the pupils begin drill when they enter, (usually as high privates in one of the pony companies), and continue in the battalion through the entire six years. The members of the bat talion must be at least thirteen years old, and free from any physical defect that would prevent them from carrying a musket or from marching. (lighter guns are used in the smaller companies than in the larger ones.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 21: April, 1902 Heretofore the school has celebrated the graduation of its first class in connection with Washington's Birthday heretofore the Father of our country has been, in a measure, the subject of the oration. To-day marks a de parture from this custom to-day is Class Day alone; that is, it is our day, and it is about ourselves that I would speak. As it is needless to say, we are a part of that numerous class of individuals, the youth, which has at all times been the cause of so much solicitude on the part of those who have out grown it. As a result of this solicitude our forefathers, exactly 267 years ago to-day, founded the Boston Latin School. For many years this school has been our friend and teacher. We meet to-day to say farewell to this friend of ours, which we can always rever ence and love, but which we leave forever, and which we can never know again. And we have met to tell of the things we have done in its company and under its guidance, and of the things we expect to do when we are far from it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 8: April, 1889 In a former issue of the latin school register there was published the outline of a scheme adopted by the class of '84 for the encouragement of athletics. No mention was made of the motive that led the class to act as they did, and it may be asked why the funds raised should have been devoted to athletics rather than to the library, to literary prizes, or to the further promotion of scholarship. All of these questions were raised at the annual dinner, and promptly answered. The argument that led to the unanimous adoption of the present plan was in substance as fol lows.

Download or read book Collected Writings of Charles Brockden Brown written by Michael C. Cohen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Brockden Brown (1771–1810) was a key writer of the revolutionary era and early U.S. republic, known for his landmark novels and other writings in a variety of genres. The Collected Writings of Charles Brockden Brown presents all of Brown’s non-novelistic writings—letters, political pamphlets, fictions, periodical writings, historical writings, and poety—in a seven-volume scholarly set. This series’ volumes are edited to the highest scholarly standards and will bear the seal of the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions (MLA-CSE). Poems,volume 7 of the series, is the first comprehensive collection of the poetry of Charles Brockden Brown (1771– 1810), one of the earliest professional writers in U.S. history. While Brown is well known as a novelist, his poetry has never before been collected, and many of the works included in this book appear in print for the first time in 200 years. The Committee on Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association has awarded the volume a seal of certification as an MLA Approved Scholarly Edition. Each edited text has a detailed textual note providing publication history, provenance, and information on attribution, along with extensive scholarly annotations. A historical introduction locates the poems in Brown’s biography, the print culture of the Revolutionary Atlantic world, and the literary history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while a textual essay provides full bibliographical information on the sources for all copy-texts, as well as an extensive description of the editorial protocols. The volume therefore promises to reshape our understanding of professional literary writing in the period after the American Revolution.

Download or read book Pastors and Parishioners in W rttemberg During the Late Reformation 1581 1621 written by Bruce Tolley and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, research on the impact of the Reformation on popular religious life in Germany has sparked a controversy challenging the traditional assumption that Protestantism had a deep and lasting effect on all levels of sixteenth-century life. This study uses previously neglected archival sources, the records of the Wurttemberg church visitations over a forty-year period, to investigate various areas of church life touched on by the debate. The author examines the social and cultural nature of the pastorate as a professional group, areas of conflict and agreement between representatives of the official church and the parishioners, the nature of the church visitations, and the standards and expectations of the visitors concerning lay religious life and discipline. Church visitations were conducted to inform higher ecclesiastical authorities about the conditions of religious life in individual parishes. The visitors interviewed and reported on members of the community from all walks of life: pastor, mayor, schoolmaster, folk-healer, shepherd, and, in some cases, village drunk. The visitations were used to discipline the clergy and laity through exhortations, warnings, fines, and, in rare cases, imprisonment. The author shows that the system of penalties, sanctions, and persuasions had only mixed success in inhibiting un-Christian behavior. When the church's interest in discipline coincided with the interest of village groups in restraining profligacy or laxity, the church had greater success. The Wurttemberg records reveal that parishioners showed only moderate zeal in attending the principal Sunday morning service and that weekday and Sunday afternoon services were poorly attended. For communion, many of the laity seem to have felt that an annual participation at Easter services fulfilled their religious obligation. Young people and single adults appeared most often negligent in their attendance at church, sometimes because of the demands of seasonal agriculture, but more often because of general indifference to the church or active resistance to the church's efforts to discipline such festive pastimes as dancing and berry picking. In the process of investigating the relationship between parishioners and the state church, the author presents information on the clergy's social and geographic origins, education and culture, and economic conditions. He analyzes the attitudes and behavior surrounding popular religious practices and evaluates the church's attempts to reform and regulate family life and social mores.
