Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Good Roads, 1917, Vol. 15 A motion was passed instructing the president to appoint a committee to study the economics of road construction, particularly in reference to maintenance. This committee is to take up with the various highway departments and find out from them the cost of con struction of various types of road and the cost of maintenance per mile per year of these roads, and the amount of traffic that goes over them. The subject of highway legislation was very ably discussed by Col. E. A. Stevens of New Jersey. One of the points that he brought out was that it is dan gerons to try to prescribe by legislative act methods of conduct of business of the state highway departments. Care should be taken that the hands of a commission are not tied with useless restrictions. He called atten tion to the question of bond elections for raising reve nue, and said careful consideration should be given as to the character of bonds that were to be used. Col. Stevens also brought out the fact that with the change in administration that would take place in many states the first of the year many highway engineers would go out of office because of political-change in the ad ministration. He stated that this was not fair to the road work of a state, and that the engineers in charge 'of the road work should not be changed because of a political change in the state. They should not be in any way political appointments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tipyn O'bob, Vol. 15: October, 1917 Briefly there is very little to be said in favor of beginning to wear a gown. The beautifully uniform appearance which the campus would present, the academic atmosphere, the graceful, flowing lines, have all been SO often and so eloquently described that no one dares mention them again. Even the more plebeian and less aesthetic facts, that we have all voted to wear gowns, that their constant use would bring poverty upon the Wilson-laundry-family, that they are unparalleled as water proofs, that these four years are the only time they can be worn; even these have failed to incline the undergraduate heart gown-ward. For these other facts remain. Gowns catch in every door, they trip up ten people on every stairway, they Slide down the neck at every step, they trail in every ink well. They make the tall, Slender figure look positively emaciated; and even one who has never seen the picture can well imagine the effect produced by the short and stumpy person who wears a heavy coat in winter and then superimposes a gown. But at least this much can be said for the gown. It gives the beginner in its use something to grumble about in those long harrowing moments between breakfast and nine O'clock; and that after all is a greater boon than it seems at first Sight. It is an excellent thing to have a gown to abuse when one must abuse. It spares the room-mate and promotes friendly feelings. But after awhile even this advantage will be taken away. For some unknown reason, everyone who wears a gown steadily for a couple Of weeks comes to be one Of those devotees who speak SO tenderly and SO incomprehensibly to their unconverted friends about academic atmosphere and laundry, never mentioning ink wells or obtrusive doors. All that is necessary is a habit: and a habit is not always a dangerous thing. Much smooth repetition Of a collegiate platitude prompts reaction in favour Of an Old cast-off, whose place it has come to fill. It is so very easy to point the finger Of scorn at grinds, SO easy to fortify ourselves against their attitude by the usual current half-truths. We are glib in a wisdom which must have been useful once, in checking a dangerous tendency, but from which the virtue is beginning to depart. After all.

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

Download or read book The Adult Learner written by Malcolm S. Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
