School for Feeble-Minded Youth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Report of the Massachusetts School for Idiotic and Feeble-Minded Youth, 1859 It is not easy to give this wise direction at the out set, but in time it may be done. The matter, how ever, requires great care and study. Indeed, a little thought shows us that the higher impulses have as much need of trained wisdom for their guidance as the lower ones have. If men follow blindly the com passionate instinct, their obedience will perhaps work for their own moral good, but not necessarily for the good of others. Going blindly, they are liable to go wrong, and to harm both the cause they have at heart and the class they would relieve. Many evils and abuses follow this blind action. Alms, in order to bear good fruit, must not be sown broadcast, and left upon the ground without culture, else, instead of fair fruit, we have the 'tree covered with thorns. The contrast between public charities administered Wisely and faithfully, and those not so administered, is very striking. Now it is a very common error to find arguments against public charities in the gross abuses to which they are liable, and to Oppose the establishment of certain institutions for the relief of suffering, upon the ground that they have been tried elsewhere and failed to do much good. But often a careful examination of the circumstances under which public charity is administered will lead to a final conclusion exactly opposed to the first ap parent one, and will show that the compassionate im pulse missed its object merely because, being itself blind, it did not take wisdom for a guide.

Download or read book Inventing the Feeble Mind written by James Trent and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pity, disgust, fear, cure, and prevention--all are words that Americans have used to make sense of what today we call intellectual disability. Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the history of this disability from its several identifications over the past 200 years: idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually disabled people (and often their families), more than the claims made for their intellectual and social limitations, has shaped meaning, services, and policies in United States history.
Download or read book The Education of Henry Adams written by Henry Adams and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2022-10-04T17:27:17Z with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most well-known and influential autobiographies ever written, The Education of Henry Adams is told in the third person, as if its author were watching his own life unwind. It begins with his early life in Quincy, the family seat outside of Boston, and soon moves on to primary school, Harvard College, and beyond. He learns about the unpredictability of politics from statesmen and diplomats, and the newest discoveries in technology, science, history, and art from some of the most important thinkers and creators of the day. In essentially every case, Adams claims, his education and upbringing let him down, leaving him in the dark. But as the historian David S. Brown puts it, this is a “charade”: The Education’s “greatest irony is its claim to telling the story of its author’s ignorance, confusion, and misdirection.” Instead, Adams uses its “vigorous prose and confident assertions” to attack “the West after 1400.” For instance, industrialization and technology make Adams wonder “whether the American people knew where they were driving.” And in one famous chapter, “The Dynamo and the Virgin,” he contrasts the rise of electricity and the power it brings with the strength and resilience of religious belief in the Middle Ages. The grandson and great-grandson of two presidents and the son of a politician and diplomat who served under Lincoln as minister to Great Britain, Adams was born into immense privilege, as he knew well: “Probably no child, born in the year, held better cards than he.” After growing up a Boston Brahmin, he worked as a journalist, historian, and professor, moving in early middle age to Washington. Although Adams distributed a privately printed edition of a hundred copies of The Education for friends and family in 1907, it wasn’t published more widely until 1918, the year he died. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1919, and in 1999 a Modern Library panel placed it first on its list of the best nonfiction books published in the twentieth century. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction Anti-Intellectualism in American Life is a book which throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society. "As Mr. Hofstadter unfolds the fascinating story, it is no crude battle of eggheads and fatheads. It is a rich, complex, shifting picture of the life of the mind in a society dominated by the ideal of practical success." —Robert Peel in the Christian Science Monitor
