Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land and the Empire These lectures were delivered as part of the Imperial Studies Series inaugurated by Lord Milner. My object in publishing them is to emphasise the need of a New Outlook. It is to be hoped that this War has taught us that many of our old shibboleths must be given up: that after the War is over we must have a Government working whole-heartedly in the interests of the Empire and of the Nation, and not of a Party. Unless we can achieve this, it will not be possible for us to recuperate quickly. On the Rural side there must be a New Outlook in regard to the land and its development - on the part of the Government, the landowners, and the farmers themselves. The Nation at large must realise and agree that it is right that the producers of food should receive a remunerative price for their produce. This can be achieved by the organisation and encouragement of the agricultural industry. On the Urban side there is equal need of a New Outlook. It must be realised that never again shall this country be so dependent upon sea-borne food as it has been during the past fifty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Empire This Is the third volume of the series of Empire text-books written for the League of the Empire in accordance with the bequest of the late Mr. Spitzel. It is intended both for the middle forms of Secon dary schools and for the highest classes of Elemen tary schools. In View of this latter Object, and of the fact that the vast majority of future citizens of the Empire receive all the preparation they ever get for the intelligent exercise of their votes in Elemen tary schools, special stress has been laid upon Citizen Ship upon those factors in History which have had the most direct and important bearing upon the development of the Empire, and upon the rights, duties, and responsibilities of the citizen. Minutiae of facts and dates have been reduced to the narrowest limits but the connection between History and Geography has been emphasized throughout, and an attempt has been made to explain in the Simplest possible language what the British Empire is, and how it grew.

Fast steamers, telegraph cables, cheap postage, popular educa tion: these have helped us to see and hear more of each other, and to realize how near we are even to the uttermost parts of the earth.. And we are being driven as well as drawn together. As we read the extraordinary charges fabricated against us by certain writers in the French, German and Russian press, charges that are not only read but believed by many in the land of their invention, we realize that dangerous things are sometimes done by deluded people. Instinctively we gather closer together, back to back and shoulder to shoulder, ready for an onslaught which sanity would forbid.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Keystone of Empire The great park was smiling with the new, clean washed radiance of spring, under a velvety blue sky, seen through the tender foliage of veteran trees, stretch ing their mighty arms greedily towards the golden sun rays. On the mossy edge of a fountain stood a baby - rosy, chubby, golden-haired, and blue-eyed - peering intently into the transparent water, wherein the squat body of a big, green frog reposed comfortably upon a miniature bowlder, his round, topaz eyes gleaming just above the surface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Questions of Empire Mr. Principal, Ladies, and Gentlemen, this is a pleasant stage in life for many reasons. I had hoped, indeed, that to-day we should have been graced by the presence of our honored and venerated Chancellor, one of the oldest and kindest of my friends, but domestic anxiety at the last moment kept him away. It is rare, I believe, that a Chancellor comes to preside over a Rector's address, - there is, perhaps, some fear of a violent conflict of jurisdiction, - but I should have been all the more honored and pleased by his presence, for I should always be pleased to find him by my side at any period of my life, or in any capacity, as he is a noble and genial specimen of the best type of a Scottish gentleman. Long may he occupy his illustrious chair. And then, on the other hand, there are my young constituents; not merely those who voted for me, but those who voted against me, as well as those who from their unlucky juniority had not the opportunity of doing either. So I stand before you to-day with much gratitude and affection. I have only known in my life two sorts of constituents, the municipal and the academical. Both have been kind to me. Neither has ever rejected me. And I am proud to come and thank you for the great majority by which you elected me last autumn.

Download or read book The Northward Course of Empire Classic Reprint written by Vilhjalmur Stefansson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northward Course of Empire The idea of this book is doubtless old, though it came to me only about 1912. Perhaps it was old to the Medes and Persians. It may even have been an ancient revamping of it that led Solomon to remark that there is nothing new under the sun. In another sense the idea is so new that the history of it can be given briefly. The winter of 1918-1919 representatives of chambers of commerce of various European countries were touring the United States. A dinner was given them in New York and at this I was called upon to make a five-minute talk. One of the sponsors of the dinner was Dr. Albert Shaw, the editor of the Review of Reviews. He said to me that the idea of my talk was new. When I reminded him of Solomon's well-known saying, he replied that at any rate it was new enough to make a suitable article for his magazine. He asked me to write the article and I said I would. Ideas, like many other things, have a tendency to expand, and in the writing my theme grew beyond the limits of the Review of Reviews, for they seldom print an article of more than twenty-five hundred words and I found I had ten thousand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Edge of Empire The bungalow stood back from the Gulmarg Road, its garden a riot of colour and scent, its front windows facing across a wide grass slope sprinkled with fruit trees in blossom that dropped to the noisy river some hundred feet below; while behind it the forest rose steeply like delicate green spray tossed in the air. Above the spring foliage came the darker green of pines growing in serried ranks along the, rockier higher slopes, then even the pines ceased and the snow began, leagues of diamond-shining whiteness rising in unmeasured heights against a sky of dazzling blue.
