Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Essex Institute, 1884, Vol. 15 You find among the Swedes many peculiar superstitions, which seem to cling with great tenacity from by-gone times. So, for instance, it is the custom for chambermaids or others, making the beds in the morning, not to leave an unfinished bed under any pretext to go to any other work, for fear that the person that is to occupy it may not rest easily. In most Swedish stables you will find a dead crow or blackbird hung over each horse, which is considered a sure prevention for the evil one riding the horse in the stable at night, and it is asserted by the farmers that when such prevention is not taken the horses are found in the morning foaming at the mouth, sweaty and blowing hard, as if just arrived from a furious drive. In my boyhood, whenever a person sneezed it was considered polite for bystanders to say "God save you" or "Prosit;" and the more popular a person was in society the more people were ready to say "God save you" in case of sneezing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Essex Institute, 1875, Vol. 6 This was the introduction to nature, and this is not a solitary ex ample. There are hundreds of high schools and academies, as well as colleges, where thus the method curses the subject. This means a great deal. What a plea against such methods was the whole life Of Prof. Agassiz! There are being made Well directed efforts, in some Of our cities and towns, to have the subject introduced into the common schools, and this fact, with the other fact that the subject is in our high school pro grammes, permits us to estimate the condition of natural history in the schools to-day. The reason for the present state of things is perhaps unimportant, but it is not because educators for half a cen tury have not been agreed as to the principles which govern the case. It is curious to observe that in the face of this agreement, and the fact that the statement of the principles has become so frequent in convention as to be almost stale, few in authority have essayed to take the first logical step in the indicated direction. The Speaker prefaced his remarks upon the condition of natural Science as it ought to be in the schools, by saying that he was not a proficient in the subject, and in no sense a specialist, being person ally more interested in other subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Essex Institute, Vol. 29: 1897 Owing to the illness and absence of the Secretary, Henry M. Brooks, the Executive Committee prepared a full report of the work of the Institute during the past year. This report was read by President Rantoul. It showed that the year just closed had been a prosperous one for the Institute, and while the work of the Society had been hampered by the continued illness of the Secretary, the Assistant Librarian and the 2d Assistant Librarian, yet the routine work had been carried on and the Institute was in good condition, - its publications had contained articles of great merit which must prove of value to the historical and scientific student. The regular lectures and the less formal meetings, where papers were read by members of the Institute, were noted and highly commended. The matter of field meetings was considered and a continuance advised. The pressing need of more room for the many hundreds of volumes received by donation during the past year was referred to and a strong appeal for the necessary funds to bring about this much desired result was made. Reference was made to the death of Mr. William J. Foster, who had of late been of great assistance at the rooms during the illness of the Secretary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Essex Institute, Vol. 14: 1872 The President in the chair. Records of preceding meeting read. The President mentioned a few of the associations that cluster around this day; a day when the mind naturally reverts to the past, recalls the incidents of the year now closed, and indulges in reveries upon their probable influence in the distant future. No one can foretell the results; some of the most seemingly important will soon pass away and be forgotten, whereas the most apparrently trivial, scarcely known beyond the threshold of the humble cot of the occurrence, will, as years roll on, become the centre of great interest and attraction, as the birthplace and home of some of nature's noblemen.

Correspondence and donations announced. Mr. J. W. Thyng, of Salem, was elected a member. Dr. George A. Perkins, of Salem, made some remarks on Liberia, particularly of the region about Cape Palmas, where he had resided for nine years prior to 1848, connected with the Episcopal Missionary Station at that place. After defining its geographical position he spoke of the peculiarity of that part of the western coast of Africa in having no harbors, - ships being obliged to anchor in the open roadstead, and all goods are landed either through the surf or in rivers which are entered over bars of sand at their mouths. The country, though flat, was beautified by extensive forests of high trees, tangled with immense vines; the tall plumelike palms form a striking feature in the landscape, are very abundant and give the name to Cape Palmas.
