Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carnegie Institute and Library of Pittsburgh Taste and genius cannot be constrained by arbitrary means; moreover, artistic appreciation is the prerogative of the few, and the diffusion of taste is not the same thing as the improvement of taste. In other words, it is a mistake to make a good thing too common. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded and Annotated Catalogue of Books in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, for the Use of the City Schools, 1900 Early in 1899 the National Educational Association issued an important circular on the relation of public libraries and public schools. From this circular we quote the following: There should be most cordial relations between the school and the library. The librarian should know the school and its work, in a general way, as a very important part of his work, just as the teacher should know the library and its methods as a part of her work. The children should have free access to the library shelves. The community should be led to re gard the library as a necessary part of a system of public edu cation, just as essential as the common school. If it is the duty of the state to see that its citizens know how to read, it is certainly none the less its duty to see that they are so train ed that the ability to read will be a blessing rather than a curse. A free public library is the adult's common school. Pupils should know what a library is, what it contains, and how to use it. A child can no more be wisely left to get his knowledge and taste for literature by himself than to get his mathematical or scientific training in the same way. Children must be trained to use the library as they are trained to do other things. Pupils should learn to read with economy of time by making use of page headings, tables of contents. Re views, Poole's Index, card catalogues and other helps. The destiny of a child is not affected by the ability to read. But by the use he makes of that ability. The school trains for a few years. The library for a life time. The ability to read is merely a means to an end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

These are to be regarded as wise extravagances, for which public revenues should not be given, not as necessaries. These are such gifts as a citizen may bestow upon a community and endow, so that it will cost the City nothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Carnegie Anthology "That he should outdo his friends in conferring great benefits is not at all wonderful, since he was so much more able; but that he should surpass his friends in kind attentions and an anxious desire to oblige appears to me far more worthy of admiration. . . . So that, from what I have heard, I should think that no one was ever beloved by a greater number of persons, either Greeks or Barbarians."

Download or read book Pittsburgh s Immigrants written by Lisa A. Alzo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1700s, Pittsburgh has welcomed generations of immigrants. This region in southwestern Pennsylvania was once a magnet for European immigrants who carved out livings in steel, iron, glass, and other factories along its famous three rivers. Those immigrants built the city's ethnic neighborhoods: the Irish North Side, the Polish South Side, the Italian Bloomfield, as well as other immigrant enclaves in smaller cities and towns in the surrounding areas. The diversity of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods symbolizes a city truly rich in history and culture. Many notable Pittsburghers in business, the arts and entertainment, and sports were either immigrants themselves or children of immigrants. Pittsburgh's Immigrants pays tribute to the hardworking men and women who made significant contributions to the growth and development of western Pennsylvania and left a legacy of rich and vibrant ethnic culture that endures to the present day.

Download or read book Carnegie Libraries written by George Sylvan Bobinski and published by Chicago : American Library Association. This book was released on 1969 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carnegie and the Carnegie Corporation provided funding for 1,681 public library buildings in 1,412 U.S. communities between 1889 and 1923. This philanthropy had a great impact on the growth of public library development in the United States. Free public libraries supported by local taxation had begun with Boston in 1849 and slowly spread throughout the country. The Carnegie benefactions made them leap forward. This internationally famous celebrity chose libraries as one of the primary sources for his philanthropy. He also attached two conditions to his offer of money for a public library building--the local community had to provide a suitable site and formally agree to continuously support the library through local tax funds. The latter solidified acceptance of the concept of tax support for libraries.

Book excerpt: Oakland, located two miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, is a place where people have gone to enjoy rustic tranquility, culture, socialization, entertainment, and education. Through more than 150 years, much has changed in this neighborhood. Where children once caught crayfish, a fantastic skyscraper rose, a Greek Revival villa yielded to a hospital, a trolley barn turned into a sports arena, a fountain was created on a buried bridge, and a hillside cow pasture became a university campus. Bit by bit, this municipal showplace came into being through an attempt to improve the Smoky City by establishing a sprawling museum complex, a vast park, universities, clubhouses, auditoriums, a glamourous hotel, apartments, and a model neighborhood of houses.
