Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danish People's High School: Including a General Account of the Educational System of Denmark The education Of girls seems to have been less specialized. At an early age they engaged in the industries Of the home - sewing, em broidery, spinning, and weaving. They participated in various amusements and mingled freely with the people at festivals and pub lic meetings. Their intellectual training was not entirely neglected, however, for women busied themselves also with poetry. But chiefly by work, play, and free activity were trained the mothers of a sturdy race. The Middle A yes - With the introduction Of Christianity schools were immediately established. The first Christian school is re ported to have been erected in the beginning Of the ninth century by the Apostle of the North, St. Ansgar, for 12 young children whom he, together with his assistants, instructed in Christian learn ing. 1 Throughout Europe during this period there were three chief types Of schools - monastic, cathedral, and burgher schools. Monastic schools were kept by the monks and consisted of two divi sions, an interior school for novices who were to become monks and an exterior department for the boys Of the community who desired an education chiefly for secular purposes. The studies pursued were religion, reading, writing, singing, and the subjects Of the trivium and quadrivium. For the novices there was, in addition, instruction in the rules of the order and some Of the principles Of canonical law. Cathedral schools were established in connection with the cathedral chapters and were training schools chiefly for the priest hood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Denmark and Its Schools From this it will appear that the great problem of Ameri can rural life is tied up closely with agricultural production. It is not so much a question with us of a largely increased number of producers - although this, too, is desirable as it is a question of a largely increased production. Soil exploitation must be put to an end and scientific agriculture given its rightful day. Thinkers generally are becoming aware that one of our greatest national sins is this soil exhaustion that is actually threatening to undermine the greatest of all our heritages. How to change the prevailing indifferent system of agriculture is right at the bottom of the whole matter.

Download or read book In the Lap of Tigers written by John Cleverley and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-02-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in the forested mountains of ChinaOs remote Jiangxi Province in 1958, the Communist Labor University, along with some 100 branch campuses, introduced uneducated farmers and peasants to basic agricultural science and farming techniques through an innovative work-study program until 1980. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, John Cleverley here explores the inner workings of this unique Chinese institution and the direct personal involvement in its affairs by the nationOs key communist leaders, including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Deng Xiaoping. The community would survive the dictates of political agriculture, famine and pestilence, and the Cultural Revolution, thus mirroring higher education's own cycle of expansion, contraction, and division. Yet the university could not avoid the bitter factional politics and deadly power plays of the 1970s. Open to the charge that it was a utopian experiment, another of Mao's great follies, its undoing was part of the larger canvas of ChinaOs shift from a Maoist vision to DengOs philosophy of pragmatic socialism. This fascinating story illuminates the internal and external politics of an innovative educational enterprise from both an institutional and personal perspective. In the process, the book underscores the larger issues of educational reform and political and social change in China.

Download or read book Cultural Semantics and Social Cognition written by Carsten Levisen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting original, detailed studies of keywords of Danish, this book breaks new ground for the study of language and cultural values. Based on evidence from the semantic categories of everyday language, such as the Danish concept of hygge (roughly meaning, ‘pleasant togetherness’), the book provides an integrative socio-cognitive framework for studying and understanding language-particular universes. It is argued that the worlds we live in are not linguistically and conceptually neutral, but rather that speakers who live by Danish concepts are likely to pay attention to their world in ways suggested by central Danish keywords and lexical grids. By means of a sophisticated semantic methodology, the author accounts for the meanings of even highly culture-specific and untranslatable linguistic concepts. The book offers new tools for comparative research into the diversity of semantic and cultural systems in contemporary Europe. Additionally, it contributes to the emerging discipline of cultural semantics, and to the ongoing debates of linguistic diversity, metalanguage, and the use of linguistic evidence in studies of culture and social cognition.

Download or read book N F S Grundtvig A Life Recalled written by SAJ Bradley and published by Aarhus Universitetsforlag. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: N.F.S. Grundtvig, a chief shaper of Denmark's modern identity and still an active force in Danish social, political and religious life, was an outstanding intellect of the European 19th century. As new-Europe reviews the old traditional cultural canon, reflective of the most dominant nations, interest grows in Grundtvig. The book comprises English translations of an extensive selection of Grundtvig's own retrospect upon events, causes and periods of his life, and of memoirs by contemporaries upon whose lives his impinged. The choice of texts follows closely that of Johansen and Hoirup's Grundtvigs Erindringer og Erindringer om Grundtvig (Copenhagen 1948). Texts are arranged in an approximate chronology of Grundtvig's life. A copious index supplies mini-biographies and other documentation of the period, its personalities, institutions and events. S.A.J. Bradley is Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of York.
