Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Canada and the New Canadians I have been asked to write a few introductory remarks to Mr Kennedy's new volume, and I do so with much pleasure. Mr Kennedy knows Canada well, and, although he has now resided in England for some years, has kept up his connection with the Dominion by frequent Visits. His book is especially interesting from his contrasts of the position of the country at different times and under different circumstances.

Download or read book The Book of New Canadians Classic Reprint written by D. J. Dickie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of New Canadians The Book of New Canadians contains stories told by the children of twenty different countries. The stories de scribe the homes of about half the nations representatives of which have become citizens of Canada. Realising that it would be impossible in a book of this size to tell stories about all the different peoples now living in Canada, I consulted the latest census report of the Dominion Government. In the report the different nationals are listed in the order of the numbers resident in Canada. I chose the first twenty listed. Equally interesting and instructive stories about the other countries and their peoples could be told. Should these be called for a second book will, no doubt, be prepared. It is perhaps unnecessary to explain why stories of I France have not been included in the book. Since 1763 immigration from France has been very small, and as for the French Canadians they are much more anciently Canadian than the British Canadians.

Download or read book New Canadian Library written by Janet Beverly Friskney and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1950s, much Canadian literature was out of print, making it relatively inaccessible to readers, including those studying the subject in schools and universities. When English professor Malcolm Ross approached Toronto publisher Jack McClelland in 1952 to propose a Canadian literary reprint series, it was still the accepted wisdom among publishers that Canadian literature was of insufficient interest to the educational market to merit any great publishing risks. Eventually convinced by Ross that a latent market for Canadian literary reprints did indeed exist, McClelland & Stewart launched the New Canadian Library (NCL) series in 1958, with Ross as its general editor. In 2008, the NCL will celebrate a half-century of publication. In New Canadian Library, Janet B. Friskney takes the reader through the early history of the NCL series, focusing on the period up to 1978 when Malcolm Ross retired as general editor. A wealth of archival resources, published reviews, and the NCL volumes themselves are used to survey the working relationship between Ross and McClelland, as well as the collaborative participation of those who, through the middle decades of the twentieth century, were committed to studying and nurturing Canada's literary heritage. To place the New Canadian Library in its proper historical context, Friskney examines the simultaneous development of Canadian literary studies as a legitimate area of research and teaching in academe and acknowledges the NCL as a milestone in Canadian publishing history.

Download or read book English for New Canadians Classic Reprint written by George Elmore Reaman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English for New-Canadians This manual has been written with the intention of helping the adult foreigners, especially those of the industrial class; though it can be used with equal success in teaching children. Almost one-eighth of the total population of Canada at the present time is foreign, a large percentage being adult, and while the children are taught English in our Public Schools, the parents do not have this opportunity with the result that there is a tendency on the part of the children to despise their parents on account of their ignorance of the English language, thus bringing about a break in the home influence. Besides, a large percentage of the adult foreigners are not illiterate consequently are in a position to learn English pro vided they are given some assistance. Many derive their first knowledge of the language from the illustrated sections of our newspapers, while they are daily surrounded by printed English in the way of signs, directions and instructions. With this in mind the illustrations of upwards a thousand common objects, along with their English names, have been gathered together in this manual. The eye has been appealed to as well as the ear and every effort has been made to make the work concrete. For instance, no abstract nouns are used and most of the verbs are action verbs, while the. Eye takes the place of the dictionary. When the new-canadian looks at the picture of a 'table, ' he knows the name of it in his own lan guage and his desire is to know its name in English. A com parison of numbers will give him this. Hence it will appeal to the new-canadian of any nationality. It is not essential that he should pronounce every word since the word image willstay with him and he will associate-it with the object. Many native-born Canadians have learned to read, and understand foreign languages who have never heard a syllable spoken. Naturally the new-canadians with a teacher will progress much more rapidly. For a beginning the teacher Should teach his class the numbers up to perhaps fifty. Have them repeat the numbers in concert since this overcomes any timidity they I may have. Then let the teacher point out the picture of 'door' saying that 'one' is 'door' and pointing immediately to the printed word 'door.' Do this with 'key' and so on until all the objects have been pointed out and named. When all the words in the first lesson have been repeated in concert several times, each learner may be asked to repeat them by himself until he has a fair pronunciation. The teacher should finally write the words on the blackboard and have them copied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Canada and the Canadian Question Classic Reprint written by Goldwin Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and the Canadian Question Where the subject is so complex and so disjointed, to devise a satisfactory arrangement is not easy. Writers and readers of the history of the Dominion too well know how wanting it is in unity. For the special purpose of this work, which is neither elaborate description nor detailed history, but the presentation of a case and of a problem, it seemed best first, briefly to delineate the Provinces, which are the factors of the case, then to sketch their political history, leading up to Confederation, then to give an account of the Confederation itself, with its political sequel, up to the present time, and finally to propound the problem. The general reader, if any one answering to that description ever takes up this work, may skip the chapter on the Federal polity, the subject of which to the reader specially interested in Colonial institutions will probably seem the most important of all. To impart anything like liveliness to a discussion of the British North America Act one must have the touch of Voltaire.

Download or read book The New Slavery Classic Reprint written by H. Percy Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Slavery Why should Canadian ham and bacon be ten or twelve cents dearer here than in England? There is no use of making the excuse that labor is better paid in Canada than in England. The excuse is bad, because the bacon is produced by Canadian labor. The Englishman in England pays this cost of production, and also the cost of transportation by rail and ocean. Therefore we ought to get the bacon and ham for a good deal less than is paid in England, instead of ten or twelve cents a pound more. Canada is a storehouse of food, producing more than it can consume, and helping to feed the rest of the world. Yet the price of food is far higher here than in England, which does not produce nearly enough food for its own needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Finding New Homes in Canada DO you ever wish that you had lived long, long ago? Do you sometimes think, when you are on your way to school, that it would be fun to talk to a boy or girl who went to school in Canada a hundred or two hundred, or even three hundred years ago? What would you say to them, and what would they say to you? You would show them your school books, and perhaps you would try to read out of theirs. Yes, I think it would be fun, and a very good education for you, too. Perhaps sometimes when you have been on a hike you have come to a hill-top and have looked down from it at a pretty farmyard below, a house of white frame or stone, a barn with a pitch roof and an Orchard all darkly green and' white in the warm spring sun. And as you have looked, you have wondered whose home it first was. Did boys and girls live there hundreds of years ago? Surely they must have. Or perhaps on your summer holidays you have found a woodland path with shrubs and bushes overhanging it, and, as you have picked your way along it, you have pretended that you were a Canadian pioneer going along a blazed trail to your first Canadian home.

Timidity or from a lack of an adequate sense of independence. The first duty of a young nation must be to know its own self and express itself. There is, at this moment, in Canada a vast amount of constructive thinking being done, thinking that must remain inarticulate until someone gives it voice. It is to assist our students and interpreters and to provide them with a suitable medium of expression that this venture is made. It is also to be hoped that all Canadians who are directly affected by these national problems will gather into this conference with our best minds.
