Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Virginia, for the Use of Schools In the preparation of this volume for the use of schools, I have been actuated by an earnest desire to place before her youth a faithful record of the past history of the old Mother of States and Statesmen, a record so full of honor that her children may well be proud of it. I have attempted no dry details, no po litical dissertations, but have adopted the familiar style of a story from the stores of incident, in which the past of Virginia is so rich, such narrations as would be most apt to stamp upon the youthful mind the graver facts of history, interspersing such explana tions as were absolutely necessary with a simplicity and clearness which will I hope, render them easy of com prehension even to the youngest student of these pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Virginia: A Brief d104 Book for Schools In this volume, I have endeavored to present in a clear and connected manner the leading facts in the history of Virginia. The materials have been drawn from the most reliable authorities, and much time has been spent in comparing them so as to render the narrative as accurate as possible. In the colonial period, the richness of the sources of information proved a continual embarrassment; and I found myself compelled to leave out many, interesting incidents, to prevent the book from exceeding the well-defined limits within which a state history for school use should be kept. Virginia was the cradle of the English race in America, and for this reason her history is of more than ordinary interest. Besides this, the great variety of romantic and important events that have taken place within her borders, the immortal characters that have been nurtured upon her soil, and the unswerving manner in which her people have always contended for their rights, render her history specially worthy of being studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of Virginia A very practical difficulty in the preparation of a text book on history exists in the fact that the length of the school session varies so widely in different locali ties. To meet, as far as it is possible to do, the demands of the school with a full nine months session, as well as the school with a six months session, with a single book, the School History has been so arranged that sections can be omitted without destroying the story as a whole. It is unnecessary to say that. Omissions should not be made unless necessary, but in view of actual difficulties, the text can be shortened to suit the individual school.

Download or read book Virginia School Laws written by Virginia Virginia and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia School Laws: Codified for the Use of School Officers by Order of the State Board of Education; To Be Preserved by Each Officer and Delivered to His Successor While this edition of the school law possesses no authority independent of the sources from which it was compiled, its publication by the Board of Education makes the work authoritative as a guide to school officers. The act of Assembly which gave the school system organic life was approved July 11, 1870. The history of subsequent legislation affecting the schools can be readily traced from chapters LXVI and LXVII of the Codes of Virginia 1887 and 1904, which constitute the basis of the "Public Free School Law." The text of Pollard's Code of 1904 has been followed, except in so far as it has been modified by legislation since its publication. Acts of Assembly passed subsequent to that date (1904) are incorporated with the original law. All acts of a local character are omitted, and only such acts pertaining to State institutions of higher learning have been included as are of interest to the school officials at large. The compiler has endeavored to arrange the matter for the convenience of school officers, without regard to the order in which it is printed in the Code. It is the duty of every school officer receiving a copy of the law to preserve it carefully, and to transmit it to his successor in office.

Download or read book History and Government of West Virginia Classic Reprint written by Virgil Anson Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Government of West Virginia The idea of preparing a history of West Virginia as text-book for use in the public and private schools of the State was not born of a sudden impulse. For more than a quarter of a century the author has been engaged in public school work, and nearly all that time in active classwork in the schoolroom. While so engaged he became strongly impressed with the fact that any course of instruction is seriously defective if it does not include a study that enables pupils to grow familiar with the history of their own State and people. History is also entitled to a place in the curriculum because it possesses high value as a character-builder, because its subject-matter is in itself deeply interesting, and because it readily leads into other subjects of the school course. This book has been prepared for the use of schools, and its aim is to place in the hands of the children of West Virginia a faithful, non-sectarian and non-partisan history of the State in which they will eventually have to discharge the duties of citizens or residents. As West Virginia is one of the many States composing the Great Republic, enough of national history has been interwoven to enable the pupil to perceive in what manner and to what extent the local laws, customs and institutions of the State have been affected by events occurring in the progress of the Nation.

Download or read book How We Are Governed in Virginia and the Nation Classic Reprint written by Howard Lee McBain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How We Are Governed in Virginia and the Nation In the manner of approaching the subject the author-has been moved by the further conviction that the elementary teaching of civil government will always be a bugbear and a failure unless its chief purpose is to relate the child in an intimate and personal way to the activities of govern ment. To' the pupil of less than high school age the powers and the functions of the State auditor or the organization of, and procedure in, the civil courts of the State are very dry subjects indeed, and very naturally so. But if he lives in a city, he probably takes a lively interest in the fire department, in the police, in the many things the city undertakes to do for the health of the community - things, such as a sewerage system, which he knows about but has perhaps never thought to ascribe to the government. Or if he lives in the country, he is doubtless vitally interested in what his county is doing tor-improve roads or to con solidate schools. It has been the conscious purpose Of the author in the first six chapters Of this book to make the child above all else, see the government as a real, active thing about him, a thing Of which he is a part. It is only after the pupil's interest has been thoroughly aroused to note the many operations Of the government that the effort is made-to Show him how the government Of his State is supported, organized, and Operated. This is done in as simple language as possible. The child mind is kept constantly in v1ew, and emphasis is laid upon the actual Operation Of the machinery of government rather than upon elaborate details of its organization. Obviously it is more difficult to infuse this same personal element into the child's study of the national government.
