Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformer, or Essays on Some Important Subjects The cause is evident: It is such men as you, who render it unworthy of notice; and lend destruction. It is yourprepost you infuse into young gentlemen, assisted by the declamatory precepts of their Socratic fathers and; mothers. Hence too we see, the 'coral lip of young dashing i'emales, pouting with mockery, when they find an instructor in their honourable com pany; and their crimson coloured face, when they happen to be addressed by one of these unworthy men; and their injurious observations upon him, after he has departed.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working Faith of the Social Reformer and Other Essays The essays and lectures in this volume have already appeared in print: "The Working Faith of the Social Reformer" and "The Moral Aspect of the Fiscal Question" in The Hibbert Journal; "The Child and Heredity" in a volume of The Crown Theological Library, entitled The Child and Religion; "Idealism and Politics" in The Contemporary Review; "Social and Individual Evolution" in The New World; and "Social Responsibilities" in a pamphlet published by James MacLehose & Sons. I wish to express my hearty gratitude to the Editors and Publishers of these periodicals for their kindness in allowing me to collect the papers together for republication. Most of the essays were originally written in response to the incitement of some quite temporary circumstance; but they all turn around principles which, if they are valid, are of cardinal importance for our thinking and practice in social matters. The changes I have made are both less numerous and less important than I could have wished. In particular I could have gladly eliminated some repetitions.

Download or read book English Writings of Hu Shih written by Hu Shih and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hu Shih (1891-1962),. In the 1910s, Hu studied at Cornell University and later Columbia University, both in the United States. At Columbia, he was greatly influenced by his professor, John Dewey, and became a lifelong advocate of pragmatic evolutionary change. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 1917 and returned to lecture at Peking University. Hu soon became one of the leading and most influential intellectuals during the May Fourth Movement and later the New Culture Movement. His most widely recognized achievement during this period was as a key contributor to Chinese liberalism and language reform in his advocacy for the use of written vernacular Chinese. Hu Shih was the Republic of China’s Ambassador to the United States of America (1938-1942) and later Chancellor of Peking University (1946-1948). In 1939 Hu Shih was nominated for a Nobel Prize in literature and in 1958 became president of the “Academia Sinica” in Taiwan, where he remained until his death in Nangang at the age of 71. This diverse collection brings together his English essays, speeches and academic papers, as well as book reviews, all written between 1919 and 1962. English Writings of Hu Shih represents his thinking and insights on such topics as scientific methodology, liberalism and democracy, and social problems. It can also serve as a helpful resource for those who study Hu Shih and his views on ancient and modern China. The first volume “Chinese Philosophy and Intellectual History” allows readers to trace the development of Chinese thought and see the historical methodology applied therein. The second volume “Literature and Society” mainly includes Hu Shih’s works on language reform, which owing to his advocacy for the use of written vernacular Chinese were a success in both the educational and literary fields. The third volume “National Crisis and Public Diplomacy” mainly collects Hu’s articles and speeches from his term as Ambassador of China to the U.S.A. between 1938 and 1942.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Educational Reformers: Only Authorized Ed, of the Work as Rewritten in 1890 "It is clear that in whatever it is our duty to act, those matters also it is our duty to study." These words of Dr. Arnold's seem to me incontrovertible. So a sense of duty, as well as fondness for the subject, has led me to devote a period of leisure to the study of Education, in the practice of which I have been for some years engaged. There are countries where it would be considered, truism that a teacher in order to exercise his profession intelligently should know something about the chief authorities in it. Here, however, I suppose such an assertion will seem paradoxical; but there is a good deal to be said in defense of it. DeQuincey has pointed out that a man who takes up any pursuit without knowing what advances others have made in it, works at a great disadvantage. He does not apply his strength in the right direction, he troubles himself about small matters and neglects great, he falls into errors that have long since been exploded. An educator is, I think, liable to these dangers if he brings to his task no knowledge but that which he learnt for the tripos, and no skill but that which he acquired in the cricket-ground or on the river.

Download or read book The Collected Essays of Josephine J Turpin Washington written by Josephine Turpin Washington and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspaper journalist, teacher, and social reformer, Josephine J. Turpin Washington led a life of intense engagement with the issues facing African American society in the post-Reconstruction era. This volume recovers numerous essays, many of them unavailable to the general public until now, and reveals the major contributions to the emerging black press made by this Virginia-born, Howard University-educated woman who clerked for Frederick Douglass and went on to become a writer with an important and unique voice. Written between 1880 and 1918, the work collected here is significant in the ways it disrupts the nineteenth-century African American literary canon, which has traditionally prioritized slave narratives. It paves the way for the treatment of race and gender in later nineteenth-century African American novels, and engages Biblical scriptures and European and American literatures to support racial uplift ideology. It also articulates shrewdly the aesthetic needs and responsibilities necessary for the black press to establish a reputable literary sphere. Part of a vibrant movement in recent scholarship to reclaim writings of nineteenth-century African American women writers, this expertly edited and annotated collection represents not only a valuable scholarly resource but a powerful example of the determination of a southern black woman to inspire others to improve their own lives and those of all African Americans.
