Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Learning and Living: Academic Essays 0 find a suitable title for these essays written at different times and under widely difl'ering circum stances has been no easy task. Each of them was the result of some special impulse pointing to some rather special treatment. They have grown out of a long and varied experience covering important changes in method, an enormous material expansion, a porten tous professionalizing of the university career and an almost complete revision of the academic vocabulary. It is these changes and these expansions that have most sharply caught the attention of the intelligent public. The constant struggle to maintain the higher ideals of education, to separate the permanent from the whimsical and the transient, escapes observation and passes unrewarded. If these scattered academic essays are read together there appears through them all the reflection of this struggle. This does not mean, I trust, that they are the echoes of a forlorn conserv atism trying to hold its own against the resistless march of change. On the contrary, they try to point the way to changes still more radical because they go down to the ancient roots of all sound human culture. The threads that run through them all are: the value of hard work done as by God's law; the free dom of the teacher to teach and of the learner to learn; the discipline of the remote aim and the responsibility.

Download or read book Essays on Ancient Modern Learning and on Poetry Classic Reprint written by William Temple and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Ancient Modern Learning and on Poetry Temple's fame has waned since the days when the essays here reprinted were Pope's favourite prose; but these still maintain their historical importance, for they represent a turning point in the development of English style, and in them something of the tone and temper of the eighteenth-century essay are already apparent. Goldsmith need not have told us that Temple's style was 'the model by which the best prose writers in the reign of Queen Anne formed theirs', nor Swift that Temple 'advanced our English tongue to as great perfection as it can well bear'; to read aloud a single essay is to discover for oneself this forgotten secret. Johnson suggested to Boswell at least one of the causes of this reforming power: 'Sir William Temple was the first writer who gave cadence to English prose. Before his time they were careless of arrangement, and did not mind whether a sentence ended with an important word or an insignificant word, or with what part of speech it was concluded.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Ethics: And Other Essays on Educational Subjects Hat the actions of the individual often fall short of his ideals is a barren truism, but that the ethical standard of a community is generally lower than that of the individuals who compose it is a fact which may not be so easily recognized. And yet we habitually observe that men in the mass are capable of deeds at which they would severally shrink. Whether it be in the great game of nations, where diplomacy and skill are often the merest euphemisms for trickery and deceit, or on the humbler stage of party warfare, where insincerity is often the readiest weapon, we see how frequently the man in private life is superior to the same man in his capacity as member of a party, or a society, or a state. This is particularly true in the case of a community of boys. The force of example and the influence of tradition are stronger in childhood than at a more.

Download or read book Essays on the Anatomy of Expression in Painting written by Sir Charles Bell and published by . This book was released on 1806 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition of Bell's (1774-1842) important study of the anatomy and physiology of facial expression. The expressions, attitudes, and movements of the human body had always interested scientists as well as artists, but never before had thy been treated with such depth and conciseness. The work reflects Bell's brilliance as both artist and anatomist, and inspired Darwin's own Expression of the Emotions (1872), which he described Bell as one of the founders of the subject as a branch of science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Educational Reformers I made my proposal that he rewrite his book be cause I knew that he considered his first edition hastily written and, in many respects, not adequate to the ideal he had conceived of the book. I knew, moreover, that years of continued thinking on a theme necessarily modi fies one's views. He would wish to make some changes in matter presented, some in judgments rendered, and many more in style of presentation. Hence it has come about that after this lapse of time Mr. Quick has produced a substantially new book, which, retaining all or nearly all of the admirable features of the first edition, has brought up to their standard of excellence many others.
