Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical or Ideal? There may come an occasional doubt, indeed, to the most practical man, as to the sufficiency of this view of life, and education, and politics. When a close student of biology shuts himself for months in the humble little laboratory that they show you in Paris, and comes out with a discovery that saves for France more than all her huge debt of war has cost her, men glorify the name of Pasteur and forget the long years of impractical education, and the infatuation of the student's ideal which led up to the great discovery. When the scientist sits pondering his problems and working out the abstrusest calculations in mathematics, he is a dreamer, but when his dream is realized in the harnessing of electricity, and men reckon by amperes, in terms of his own name, dreams are seen to be practical and vision is found to have substance, and the highest problems of abstruse science are seen to have as close relation to real life as the very bread we eat. Practical men may well ask, then, whether bread, necessary though it is, is any more than the sustenance of life, and whether life itself, for every man and in every pursuit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home Ideal In the matter presented in this little book, I have given complete descriptive color schemes of the room shown in the photographs. The greater number of these rooms are of my own designing. These photographs and the suggested schemes will, I hope, be of practical service to the woman who is planning her house. Having been engaged in practical house decorating and furnishing, I have, of necessity looked fully into the question of what Finishes, Stains and Enamels would best produce the effects I had planned. The various dull finish stains, as well as the eggshell and the high gloss ivory white enamel, with the many other unique finishes, all made by Chicago Varnish Company, have given to me and to my clients complete satisfaction. I wish this book also to be a grateful acknowledgment that I have been able through their goods, to obtain artistic effects, which otherwise would have been impossible. These photographs show the successful combinations which may be reached through the medium of these softly toned and attractive wood stains, and exquisite enamels tor the standing woodwork of the room. In the magazine and newspaper work which I am conducting on these lines, I reach many people in remote districts, and from them I am in constant receipt of Letters. These prove that the materials manufactured and put upon the market by Chicago Varnish Company (which have been used by my advice) are enabling the man of moderate means, as well as others, to secure for himself a home with a beautiful interior.

Download or read book Greek Prose Composition Classic Reprint written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book Theory and Practice of Classic Detective Fiction written by Jerome H. Delamater and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1997-10-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining theoretical and practical approaches, this collection of essays explores classic detective fiction from a variety of contemporary viewpoints. Among the diverse perspectives are those which interrogate the way the genre reflects important social and cultural attitudes, contributes to a reader's ability to adapt to the challenges of daily life, and provides alternate takes on the role of the detective as an investigator and arbiter of truth. Part I looks at the nature of and the audience for detective fiction, as well as at the genre as a literary form. This section includes an inquiry into the role of the detective; an application of object-relations psychology to the genre; and analyses of recent literary criticism positing that traditional detective fiction contained the seeds of its own subversion. Part II applies a variety of theoretical positions to Agatha Christie and her heirs in the British ratiocinative tradition. A concluding essay positions the genre within the middle-class traditions of the novel since its inception in the eighteenth century. Of interest to all scholars and students of detective fiction and British popular culture.

Download or read book The House Beautiful and Useful written by H. Elder-Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Beautiful and Useful: Being Practical Suggestions on Furnishing and Decoration AT the Publishers' request, I have endeavoured to give in a fairly brief form some notes for the benefit of those who are faced with the problem of decorating 'and furnishing a home. There have been several works issued in recent years with a similar object in View; but their authors, as far as I can discover, have not kept in view the all-important ques tion of cost. To remedy this omission is one of the factors governing the appearance of the present volume. The ideal method of furnishing a home is to employ the services of a talented Architect and Craftsman, so that every piece of furniture and every scheme of decoration is an individual production - the only one of its kind - expressing the owner's taste and individuality. Unfortunately, such an ideal is only possible in the case of wealthy people. Nine-tenths of the population must continue to buy articles of furniture which are made to pattern by the dozen, and to employ schemes of decoration that have their counterpart in many other dwellings. It is the object of the following chapters to give some guidance to the selection of such furniture, and to indicate more or less desirable directions for decorative effort. While the majority of people cannot afford to employ an Architect or Craftsman, the person of average intellect and a certain amount of taste can do much for himself.

Download or read book Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea written by O. H. Peters and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Knowledge and Practice When we thus attempt to regard life in its true ideal significance, to see life steadily and to see it whole, it seems possible to rise above the opposition between knowledge and practice. Nevertheless, it may be said, this is a mere counsel of perfection, an ideal that cannot be realized under the actual conditions that constitute our finite and fragmentary mode of existence. We find that, as a mat ter of fact, there is a tendency to separate, and oftentimes to sharply oppose, these two aspects of experience, giving.
