Book Frank Parsons  Prophet  Innovator  Counselor

Download or read book Frank Parsons Prophet Innovator Counselor written by Howard Vaughn Davis and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this critical biography Howard V. Davis takes us to the genesis of a major educational challengea challenge that has an extraordinary currency for the present. In a striking degree, his analysis of the relationship between the mind of the times and the innovators contains clues to many vexing problems that beset educators and sociologists today.Setting the stage for his study of Parsons, Mr. Davis vividly recreates the economic and social conditions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mr. Davis shows Parsons as one of a group of independent economists and social theorists who gave voice to an emerging ethics and morality for the changing times. Parsons saw social progress as a gradual thing which should not be subject to the vagaries of business and economic conditions.Parsons and his group called their program organized common sense. But it was more than that. In an age when the country with its great capacity for growth was seeking new directions, Parsons saw clearly the need for the kind of schooling that would open up fresh opportunities to every child and to adults as well. It is a testimony to his far-sightedness that his pleas for bringing the school and the child and the employer and the learner closer together has become a task of high priority in educational planning today."

Book The Professor and the Parson

Download or read book The Professor and the Parson written by Adam Sisman and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “amusing and elegantly written” romp takes readers on a wild ride through the life of Robert Parkin Peters (The New York Times Book Review)—a liar, bigamist, and fraudulent priest who tricked some of the brightest minds of his generation. One day in November 1958, the celebrated historian Hugh Trevor–Roper received a curious letter. It was an appeal for help, written on behalf of a student at Magdalen College, with the unlikely claim that he was being persecuted by the Bishop of Oxford. Curiosity piqued, Trevor–Roper agreed to a meeting. It was to be his first encounter with Robert Parkin Peters: plagiarist, bigamist, fraudulent priest, and imposter extraordinaire. The Professor and the Parson is a witty and charming portrait of eccentricity, extraordinary narcissism, and a life as wild and unlikely as any in fiction. Motivated not by money but by a desire for prestige, Peters lied, stole, and cheated his way to academic positions and religious posts from Cambridge to New York. Frequently deported, and even more frequently discovered, he left a trail of destruction including seven marriages (three of which were bigamous) and an investigation by the FBI. "I was captivated from start to finish by this utterly mad, and wholly delightful story of chicanery and fantasy, and which involves a man who relentlessly duped our most cherished institutions of godly pursuit and higher learning. Plus I learned how to defrock a priest, always good to have on hand in these troubling times." —Simon Winchester, author of The Perfectionists
