Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Sir Charles Reed In using the materials that were available, the writer has endeavoured to follow two prin ciples - the one, to restrict himself to matters of general, as distinguished from family, interest; and the other, to dwell only on what was in some degree characteristic. While, therefore, the public movements in which Sir Charles took part could not be passed by, they are introduced only as a background, and with a View to make his figure stand forth more clearly on the canvas.

SCHOOL BOARD FOR LONDON. Statement made by Sib Charles Seed, M.P., Chairman, on the reassembling of the Board, ZOth September, 1880. Ladies And Gentlemen, No work can be fairly judged in its commencement. Hence, to those who were eager nnt of for results in the very spring-time of Soard' autory. our operations, we said, "Wait until our work is fairly established, and has had time to tell; give us ten years, and then we shall have made a mark on the Metropolis and be able to render a good account of what has been expended." The School Board for London was constituted in the autumn of 1870, so that the ten years have now elapsed; and the completion of the decade--the first decade of its history--affords a suitable opportunity, not only for a review of the past year, but for a comparison between the state of Elementary Education in the 218 THE WORK TO BE DONE. app. Metropolis now, and its condition at the time of the passing of the Elementary Education Act. The business of the Board is twofold. It has on the one hand to discuss great questions Nature of Work....., ., of principle and method, with a view to attain more effectually the grand end it has set before it; while on the other it has to work the existing machinery, supply lack of accommodation, secure and keep up the attendance of children, mainly of the roughest class, and provide for their instruction. The former part--the theoretic--is of great importance; but the latter, which is the practical part, is that in which, after all, the public take keenest interest. They have a right to be satisfied that we spare no pains to arrive at the best way of doing the work; but they would justly complain if we were to arrest the teaching of the children until our methods were...

Download or read book Business Adventures written by John Brooks and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.
Download or read book Carol Reed written by Nicholas Wapshott and published by Alfred A. Knopf. This book was released on 1994 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Carol Reed - director of thirty-four films, among them Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, Outcast of the Islands, Mutiny on the Bounty and, of course, the great postwar classic The Third Man." "He is fully revealed here as the complex, reticent, eccentric man of enormous gifts who understood actors and writers (he was both) and was a master of the art of telling stories, and making movies." "At the center of Reed's life was the fact of his birth: He was the illegitimate son of one of Edwardian England's great character actors, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who for fifty years dominated the London stage and whose flamboyant personality and love affairs were legend. Nicholas Wapshott shows how Reed's response to his heritage - the conflict between his shame and his pride - was reflected in the elusive, enigmatic figure he presented throughout his life." "Here is Reed as a boy with his father's theatrical colleagues (among them Bernard Shaw, W. S. Gilbert, Wilde, Whistler, Ellen Terry and James Barrie) . . . Reed landing his first job: an assistant to the bestselling thriller writer of his day, playwright and producer Edgar Wallace . . . Reed with his secret love, Daphne du Maurier (she later described the romance in her novel I'll Never Be Young Again) . . . Reed's marriages - first to the beloved star Diana Wynyard, then to Penelope Dudley Ward, the daughter of a mistress of Edward VIII." "We follow Reed as a young actor, assistant director and dialogue coach - and finally, a director making his first film, It Happened in Paris, from a script adapted by John Huston; Reed developing what would become the brilliant repertory company he worked with again and again: Tyrone Guthrie, Margaret Lockwood, Alastair Sim, Michael Redgrave, Emlyn Williams, Roger Livesey and Robert Donat, among others." "We see Reed's long writing collaboration with Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov, beginning when they were young men stationed together during the war. And his ten-year collaboration with Graham Greene, which resulted in Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol - and The Third Man (producer David O. Selznick opting first for Noel Coward to play Harry Lime, the part ultimately taken by Orson Welles)." "Then with the death of Alexander Korda, and with the British film industry in shambles, we follow Reed to America to direct such films as Trapeze and The Key. And on to Bora Bora to direct the remake of Mutiny on the Bounty, which became the undoing of all involved." "An astute and richly alive portrait of the filmmaker and the man; a superb evocation of the British film world through half a century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
