Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boy Life and Self-Government But books are usually born, not made. They grow naturally with the slow process of the years. Perhaps this little book finds its genesis back in a certain Old New Eng land town where the same grand old elms shade the same crooked streets where thirty years ago the writer was the proud marshal of a troup of some fourscore small boys, who in keen imagination fought, bled and died as youthful patriots in the strenuous cam paign for the everlasting glory of Garfield and Arthur! In all the years since, he has been a lover of boys and an interested stu dent Of boy politics. Believing that much of the perplexity of the boy problem and the difficulty of boy management in church, club, home or school can be relieved by frank ness and tactfulness in trusting the boys and developing their manliness through respon sibility and initiative, he is glad to share these studies in the principles Of progressive self-government in boy life.

Download or read book The Boy Problem written by William Byron Forbush and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy Problem: A Study in Social Pedagogy The author, who is both a clergyman and a Doctor of Philosophy, has been among boys and done work with them that I consider hardly less than epoch-making in significance. Dr. Forbush understands the natural boy and how to approach and handle him, and has also put himself abreast of the new psycho-genetic and pedagogical literature. The great fact of adolescence with all its multifarious phenomena and its stages of transformation might almost be called nature's regeneration. For a few years before this, boys live with their mates and adjust themselves as best they may to the will and way of the adult Olympians about them in the persons of teachers and parents, whose lives and ideals seem strange and alien to them. But when the ephebic reconstruction begins, one of its most radical changes consists in opening the soul to influences that come to it from riper years. Instead of a horizontal expansion of interests in boy life, the soul now reaches upward and is intensely sensitive to what the coming years are to bring; so that this age is the golden period of adult influence, provided it is wise enough not to offend.

Book excerpt: As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit. And don't miss the other Shel Silverstein ebooks, Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic!
Download or read book Boy s Life written by Robert McCammon and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Alabama boy’s innocence is shaken by murder and madness in the 1960s South in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song. It’s 1964 in idyllic Zephyr, Alabama. People either work for the paper mill up the Tecumseh River, or for the local dairy. It’s a simple life, but it stirs the impressionable imagination of twelve-year-old aspiring writer Cory Mackenson. He’s certain he’s sensed spirits whispering in the churchyard. He’s heard of the weird bootleggers who lurk in the dark outside of town. He’s seen a flood leave Main Street crawling with snakes. Cory thrills to all of it as only a young boy can. Then one morning, while accompanying his father on his milk route, he sees a car careen off the road and slowly sink into fathomless Saxon’s Lake. His father dives into the icy water to rescue the driver, and finds a beaten corpse, naked and handcuffed to the steering wheel—a copper wire tightened around the stranger’s neck. In time, the townsfolk seem to forget all about the unsolved murder. But Cory and his father can’t. Their search for the truth is a journey into a world where innocence and evil collide. What lies before them is the stuff of fear and awe, magic and madness, fantasy and reality. As Cory wades into the deep end of Zephyr and all its mysteries, he’ll discover that while the pleasures of childish things fade away, growing up can be a strange and beautiful ride. “Strongly echoing the childhood-elegies of King and Bradbury, and every bit their equal,” Boy’s Life, a winner of both the Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Awards, represents a brilliant blend of mystery and rich atmosphere, the finest work of one of today’s most accomplished writers (Kirkus Reviews).

It has not been difficult to make the work of the Sun day school seem interesting and worth While to both boys and girls up to the age of twelve or fourteen. It has been comparatively easy to hold the girls right on through the period of girlhood up to young womanhood. But with the boy from fourteen years up it is a different case. The physiological changes Which take place at this time, of Which the sudden rapid physical growth is the most obvious, are aecom panied by more profound changes Which afi'ect his thought and conduct. The boy Who has been docile and gentle suddenly becomes self assertive and rough, ready to question the au thority of teacher or parent. He craves action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boy Life Series This series of studies is an attempt to place at the disposal of workers with boys some of the results of modern psychological thought and research. An efiort has also been made to apply the observations and experience of psychologists to work with boys. Two schools of psychology have been drawn upon for most of the subject matter -the bio-genetic and the abnormal, par ticularly the psycho-analysts of the Freudian persuasion. I hope this will not provoke controversy. I believe that at least some of the methods of the Freudian psycho analysts are directly applicable to boys' work situations. The experience of a num ber of men reenforces this opinion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Boy Life Labour written by Arnold Freeman and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boy Life Labour: The Manufacture of Inefficiency The investigation upon which this work is based was conducted at the request of the Town Council of Birmingham. I wish here to express my thanks, especially to the Central Care Sub-Committee and the officers of the Juvenile Labour Exchange, for the facilities afforded me in making the inquiry. Responsibility for both facts and theories, it need hardly be said, attaches to the author alone. During almost the whole of the period covered by the investigation, hospitality was afforded me by the generosity of the Council of Woodbrooke Settlement. It would be difficult to find pleasanter conditions for study than those afforded by Woodbrooke. Though not in sympathy with everything which the term "Woodbrooke Spirit" suggests, I can pay an unqualified tribute to the spirit of kindness and high-mindedness that prevails alike in teachers and in students at the Settlement. I wish I could be sure that every year of my life would introduce me into relationships with others as friendly as those offered by the year I spent there. When I asked Dr. Sadler if he would write me a Preface, he replied that he had made a vow never to write any more prefaces for anybody! I feel, therefore, very honoured that he has generously broken faith with himself on my behalf. Those who have worked at this problem will know how much the book gains in value by including a contribution from Dr. Sadler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boys and Girls, of Garden City The purpose of infancy and childhood is to prepare, adapt, and educate for efficiency in adult life, and, under present conditions, this means chiefly social efficiency. The progress of science and discovery, too, is so rapid that the scientific education of even thirty years ago is totally inadequate to meet present social needs. What will these needs be thirty years hence, when our boys and girls are in the midst of their generations struggle for social progress? We can only judge the future by the past, but one thing is certain: progress in science is likely to be increasingly rapid, and in order to keep social life abreast of its discoveries we must instill into the young mind the spirit and method of the alert and active scientist. The true function of youth, with its ability and avidity to learn, ought to be to keep the community life continuously abreast of discovery. This is the problem of elementary-science instruction. With the young of animals, play is the method of education which prepares for the strenuous activities of adult life. Hence it is but natural that we find the play instinct the most dominant, universal, and wholesome impulse of child life. Instead of repressing the play instinct, as too much of our school life in the past has attempted to do, why not guide and develop this strong current of child life, and make it a real preparation for future social efficiency?
