This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character Building Readers Not all of the pieces are charged with a moral. As in the other numbers of this series (excepting the last), variety is secured by a sprinkling of themes that have no relation to Ethics. The special aims of the first-year course receive some reen forcement in this, and there is also a foreshadowing of what will be more definitely attempted in succeeding numbers. The Method of Teaching is no longer set forth in a Teachers' Edition. Children who have had the powerful Course in Word Study given in the first year's work will find this book easy reading. It is graded to meet the needs of the average class after any good first-year course. Teachers should master the principles Of the Natural Method in Reading, as set forth in the Teachers' Edition for first-year work, and apply them in this and subsequent grades. The first of these is that words are to be regarded as inter esting Objects of study, not as items in a Spelling List. The next is that words are best studied in their relations, not as isolated objects. There are two sets of relations that shed light on words and their content. One is the relations they sustain to other words In context, by which their meanings are modified and by which we are led to choose subconsciously between two pronunciations of the word row or between two spellings of the word rein, rain, etc. The study of words in context must be pursued with great caution not to suggest homonyms unnecessarily, and to lead the thought away from their accidental association by much practice upon one alone until the other is forgotten. The question Which shall I use in this connection? Would never arise if alert teaching could perfectly guard against it, but the occasion would always suggest the correct form alone, and never the two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character Building Readers, Vol. 2: Second Reader; Courage Interest swings like a pendulum between the self and the not self between the personal and the abstract between the affections of the heart and the conceptions of the mind; be tween the gentler and the sterner ideals of life and conduct; from beauty to duty and back again. The mere babe first gazes with astonishment on the newest or most noticeable thing in view and then wishes to act upon it. Sentiment dawns under stimulation by mother or kindergarten. The kindergarten systematically recognizes the rhythmic action of the mind within its range of interests. The Character Build ing Readers continue the moral culture of the child under this law. The successive awakenings they endeavor to promote to clear perceptions of and enthusiasm for (i) mother-love, tenderness, chivalry, etc.; (2) industry; (3) cooperation and helpfulness; (4) courage and perseverance follow the natural swinging of the pendulum of growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character Building Readers: Eighth Year, Self and Duty In the Character Building Reader for Eighth Year the effort is to focus the thought engendered in previous num bers upon character study and (f-building as a conscious and earnest pursuit for life. In previous numbers, though every selection has directly or indirectly subserved the purpose of the series, the teach ing has been addressed partly to the subconscious mind. Pieces that amused Often held the seeds of character growth in forms unrecognizable by the child. The more serious student spirit that the pupil brings to his last year's work in the intermediate school warrants a change to more subjective methods Of teaching. The reading matter of this grade should prompt the mind to general ize. That which relates to the student's moral growth should lead him to study principles Of conduct and make rules for his own guidance through life.

Download or read book Building Character written by Charles L. Davis II and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth-century paradigm of architectural organicism, the notion that buildings possessed character provided architects with a lens for relating the buildings they designed to the populations they served. Advances in scientific race theory enabled designers to think of “race” and “style” as manifestations of natural law: just as biological processes seemed to inherently regulate the racial characters that made humans a perfect fit for their geographical contexts, architectural characters became a rational product of design. Parallels between racial and architectural characters provided a rationalist model of design that fashioned some of the most influential national building styles of the past, from the pioneering concepts of French structural rationalism and German tectonic theory to the nationalist associations of the Chicago Style, the Prairie Style, and the International Style. In Building Character, Charles Davis traces the racial charge of the architectural writings of five modern theorists—Eugene Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, Gottfried Semper, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and William Lescaze—to highlight the social, political, and historical significance of the spatial, structural, and ornamental elements of modern architectural styles.
Download or read book Character Building written by Edward Payson Jackson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Character Building: A Master's Talks With His Pupils Archibald Watson. And unto God the things that are God's. Dr. Dix. Well put, my lad, well put. An excellent application of a famous epigram. The past hour justly belonged to the author of the Commentaries, and we have given it to Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. It is nearly time for the bell, but I will mention to you a plan which I have been thinking of, and which I shall probably adopt: There are many things I wish to say to you not directly connected with your lessons. To avoid in future the mistake I have made today, it is my intention to set apart ten or fifteen minutes every Wednesday morning, not for set lessons, but for miscellaneous Talks. The time thus appropriated will be taken equitably from the various branches of study, and no one of them need to suffer perceptibly. But whether they suffer or not, I shall feel that I am doing no wrong; and certainly no one can doubt the impor tance of questions of conduct and motive in a school which professes to form character as well as to train the intellect. If I should adopt this plan, I cordially invite you all to join freely with me in the discussions, to suggest topics, to ask questions, and to feel no hesitation whatever in ex pressing dissent from anything that may be said, - hon est dissent I mean, of course. I hope no one will ever take part in a discussion simply to carry his point and win a victory, or merely to make a display of his skill at logical fencing. The one great object I wish every one to have before him is to discover and point out the truth. [bell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Character Building Vol 1 written by Marian M. George and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Character Building, Vol. 1: Ethical Lessons in Kindness, Industry, Obedience, Thankfulness and Humane Education The language lesson may follow the morning talk. During this period a story bearing on the Talk may be told and pupils led to express their ideas upon it, or they may give a written or oral reproduction of it, or describe a picture, illustrating the topic. The writing lesson may be a maxim, proverb, or gem, bearing on the same subject. The study and memorizing of a poem or gem may come in the period devoted to literature. The prose and poem gems may do duty as reading lessons after the beauty of the thought and language have been enjoyed and analyzed, and the ethical truths conveyed by them understood; or the reading lesson of the day may be chosen from the readers with reference to its bearing on the subject in hand. The ethics of the New Education calls for more careful thought and planning on the part of the teacher than haphazard and merely incidental teaching, but such planning will prove the ounce of prevention to the epidemic of crime that is sweeping over our country. It will prove the stitch in time to save many later. It being the aim and purpose of this work to help teachers as much as possible along these lines, to aid them as exponents of the Ethics of the New Education, the usual order will be reversed and the first place and most space will be given to Heart or Moral Culture.

Download or read book First Reader Phonetic Classic Reprint written by Christian Brothers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Reader (Phonetic) The object of the Christian Brothers in issuing a new edition of their Readers, is to place in the hands of our Catholic boys and girls a set of books which not only embody the latest and best methods of imparting the difficult art of Reading, but which, at the same time, present the most suitable matter to attain that end. The aim has been to assist in teaching both how to read and what to read. The lessons in each number of the series have been written or selected with a view to interest as well as to instruct; to build up a strong moral character; to cultivate a taste for the best literature; and to imbue our children with an intelligent love of Faith and Country. These Readers have also been specially designed to elicit thought and facilitate literary composition. Hence, oral instruction, class talks, the meaning of words and phrases, getting the pupils to give in their own language the sense of what they read, paraphrasing, and exercises in original composition, all receive the attention which their importance demands. In this way will the pupils, while learning to read, and from their earliest years, acquire that readiness in grasping the thoughts of others, and that fluency in expressing their own, which are so essential to a good English education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Golden Deeds in Character Education Superintendent Cassidy has rendered a distinct service to character education, first by originating the system of Golden Deeds, and now by making the idea and the method by which it is rendered effective and available to a wider reading public by setting it forth in this book. True to the best traditions of educational theory, Superintendent Cassidy stresses by means of his system of Golden Deeds the character-aim in edu cation. He holds truly that learning without character is a vain and noxious thing, that the public school is the loom in which the nation's destiny must be woven, and that the warp and woof of that wondrous fabric must be character.
