Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ideal Catholic Readers Fourth Reader The teacher of reading distinguishes two periods in the elementary grades; the period of learning to read, and the period of reading to learn. During the first three years of school life, the greater part of the time is spent in learning to read, that is, in endeavoring to master the mechanics of reading, and, at the same time, storing up mental pictures which tend to develop the faculties of the child gradually and systematically. But when the children take up the Fourth Reader, a more varied and interesting field of literature is opened to them. Gradually they leave the realm of childhood and fancy and enter into a more realistic world. It may be said, then, that the Fourth Reader serves as a transition from the work of the Primary to that of the Grammar grades. The Fourth Reader of The Ideal Catholic Series is arranged according to the ideas and principles of the best educators in this country. While keeping the religious feature in the foreground, the author has succeeded in introducing selections of real literary value which cannot help appealing to the true, the beautiful, and the good in the nature of the child. The numerous narratives from the Bible, the historical accounts of the first settlers of our continent, the stories telling of the heroic work performed by the early Catholic missionaries, the interesting biographical sketches, the lessons inculcating true love of country, the admirable nature studies, the engrossing and thrilling stories, and the exquisite selection of poetry, make this reader comprehensive, literary, aesthetic, and religious.

Download or read book Fourth Reader written by Ontario; Dept; Of Education and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Reader It affords us pleasure to present to the Catholic Schools the last and highest of the new series of Readers. The great aim in preparing the Fourth Book has been to give pupils an introduction to a goodly array of the best modern English writers. We trust that these selections will induce our young people to taste more deeply of many of these "wells of English undefiled." In the teaching, the chief points are the understanding and the appreciation of what is read. The latter, while doubtless the more important, is the more difficult to secure with most pupils. Abundant supplementary reading of the right kind is probably the greatest help. In addition to this, the teacher's sympathetic interpretation, through oral reading of other literature, is of great importance. In a word, the reader and the teacher will secure the best results if they succeed in repressing pernicious or merely trashy literature, and in awakening and developing a love of good reading. Chiefly because it detracts from the interest of the story, the longer lessons have not been divided into parts; but each teacher will best know how to arrange for lessons of a length suitable for his pupils. It is not expected that the order of the lessons here given will be strictly followed. It is not possible to arrange an order that would be the best in all circumstances. The expectation is that much of the poetry will be memorized after the literature has been properly taught. The copyright law has, unfortunately, prevented the appearance of selections from several great masters of English, - notably Tennyson. For the Entrance Examination to High Schools an alternative paper in Literature will be set on selections from this Fourth Reader - and a hand-book for teachers, discussing the best methods of teaching reading and literature, and giving help in the difficult selections, is intended to accompany this Reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors examine a broad range of Catholic high schools to determine whether or not students are better educated in these schools than they are in public schools. They find that the Catholic schools do have an independent effect on achievement, especially in reducing disparities between disadvantaged and privileged students. The Catholic school of today, they show, is informed by a vision, similar to that of John Dewey, of the school as a community committed to democratic education and the common good of all students.

Download or read book Plague Journal written by Michael D. O'Brien and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plague Journal is Michael O'Brien's fourth novel in the Children of the Last Days series. The central character is Nathaniel Delaney, the editor of a small-town newspaper, who is about to face the greatest crisis of his life. As the novel begins, ominous events are taking place throughout North America, but little of it surfaces before the public eye. Set in the not-too-distant future, the story describes a nation that is quietly shifting from a democratic form of government to a form of totalitarianism. Delaney is one of the few voices left in the media who is willing to speak the whole truth about what is happening, and as a result the full force of the government is brought against him. Thus, seeking to protect his children and to salvage what remains of his life, he makes a choice that will alter the future of each member of his family and many other people. As the story progresses he keeps a journal of observations, recording the day-by-day escalation of events, and analyzing the motives of his political opponents with sometimes scathing frankness. More importantly, he begins to keep a "mental record" that develops into a painful process of self-examination. As his world falls apart, he is compelled to see in greater depth the significance of his own assumptions and compromises, his successes and failures. Plague Journal chronicles the struggle of a thoroughly modern man put to the ultimate spiritual and psychological test, a man who in losing himself finds himself.

Download or read book All Good Books Are Catholic Books written by Una Cadegan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the close of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, the stance of the Roman Catholic Church toward the social, cultural, economic, and political developments of the twentieth century was largely antagonistic. Naturally opposed to secularization, skeptical of capitalist markets indifferent to questions of justice, confused and appalled by new forms of high and low culture, and resistant to the social and economic freedom of women—in all of these ways the Catholic Church set itself up as a thoroughly anti-modern institution. Yet, in and through the period from World War I to Vatican II, the Church did engage with, react to, and even accommodate various aspects of modernity. In All Good Books Are Catholic Books, Una M. Cadegan shows how the Church’s official position on literary culture developed over this crucial period.The Catholic Church in the United States maintained an Index of Prohibited Books and the National Legion of Decency (founded in 1933) lobbied Hollywood to edit or ban movies, pulp magazines, and comic books that were morally suspect. These regulations posed an obstacle for the self-understanding of Catholic American readers, writers, and scholars. But as Cadegan finds, Catholics developed a rationale by which they could both respect the laws of the Church as it sought to protect the integrity of doctrine and also engage the culture of artistic and commercial freedom in which they operated as Americans. Catholic literary figures including Flannery O’Connor and Thomas Merton are important to Cadegan’s argument, particularly as their careers and the reception of their work demonstrate shifts in the relationship between Catholicism and literary culture. Cadegan trains her attention on American critics, editors, and university professors and administrators who mediated the relationship among the Church, parishioners, and the culture at large.
