Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schools of New York, Vol. 1: A Glance at the Common School System of the Empire State The States General, after a long, heroic war of independence, paid particular attention to the welfare of the schools and made education the chief bulwark of the new republic. It was exceptionally good stock that laid the foundations of our great State. The Dutch colonists came from a land which will glow in the pages of history forever as the scene of the first great struggle for liberty in Europe, as the high-water mark from which the waves of feudalism and tyranny first began to recede. They brought with them to the new world the love of liberty which had grown op in their native land, moistened by the blood and suffering of countless martyrs, and strengthened by the prestige of countless triumphs over the banded forces of oppression. They also brought with them the love for the school, which they revered as the palladium of their liberties, the fount of patriotism, the conservator of good government. The school had an especial significance to them, for it was the institution against which the efforts of tyranny were particularly directed during the eighty years'struggle in the Netherlands. Among the host of Dutch martyrs the name of the schoolmaster is of the most frequent occurrence. "Neither the perils of war," writes one of their admirers, "nor the busy pursuit of gain, nor the excitement of political strife, ever caused the Dutch to neglect the duty of educating their offspring to enjoy that freedom for which their fathers fought. Schools were everywhere provided at the public expense, with good schoolmasters, to instruct the children of all classes in the usual branches of education." The early colonists on the shores of the Hudson were bluff, plain-spoken, earnest yet unpresumptuous men who brought over with them from the United Netherlands the liberal ideas, honest maxims and homely virtues of their country. With them came to the wilderness the church, the dominie and the schoolmaster. They came with no loud-sounding pretensions: to grandeur in purpose, eminence in-holiness or superiority in character. They showed that they were accustomed to do rather than to boast. Their clergymen were generally men of thorough education. Who presided at the schoolmaster's desk quite as often as in the pulpit or in conventicle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The New York Schools of Music and the Visual Arts written by Steven Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musicians and artists have always shared mutual interests and exchanged theories of art and creativity. This exchange climaxed just after World War II, when a group of New York-based musicians, including John Cage, Morton Feldman, Earle Brown, and David Tudor, formed friendships with a group of painters. The latter group, now known collectively as either the New York School or the Abstract Expressionists, included Jackson Pollock, Willem deKooning, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, Franz Kline, Phillip Guston, and William Baziotes. The group also included a younger generation of artists-particularly Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns-that stood somewhat apart from the Abstract Expressionists. This group of painters created what is arguably the first significant American movement in the visual arts. Inspired by the artists, the New York School composers accomplished a similar feat. By the beginning of the 1960s, the New York Schools of art and music had assumed a position of leadership in the world of art. For anyone interested in the development of 20th century art, music, and culture, The New York Schools of Music and Art will make for illuminating reading.
Download or read book A History of New York for Schools Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by William Dunlap and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of New York, for Schools, Vol. 1 of 2 The author of the History of New York, for Schools, has long been engaged in collecting materials for a history of the city and environs, from the earliest period to the adoption of the Federal Constitution. His intention is, that the City of New York shall be the central point in his work, the environs a wide circuit, comprehending all that is connected with that point, or that can elucidate its history. This work he intends to publish by subscription; and it must necessarily be years before its accomplishment. In the mean time, he presents these little volumes as precursors, in the hopes of inspiring the rising generation with a desire to obtain a thorough knowledge of their country, a love of her institutions, and a reverence for the men to whom they owe the blessings they enjoy. That these men may be known, they must be separated from the mass, which an indiscriminate tendency to applaud, or condemn, has generated. No one can appreciate Washington who is unacquainted with the characters of those who endeavoured to subvert him. If this abridged work is adopted in our schools, the youth of New York will be prepared for the study of a more comprehensive history of the State; and it shall be the endeavour of the author to present it to the publick.

Download or read book Reform and Resistance in Schools and Classrooms written by Donna E. Muncey and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What constitutes better schooling for today's youth? In 1984 educational theorist Theodore R. Sizer formulated nine Common Principles to answer this question and launched The Coalition of Essential Schools, an organization of schools attempting to change their own structure, curriculum, pedagogy, and power relations according to Sizer's Principles. This important book, the first comprehensive look at Coalition schools, charts the course of reform at eight charter member schools. Donna E. Muncey and Patrick J. McQuillan, experts in anthropology as well as education, conducted a five-year ethnographic study to understand what happened in Coalition schools. The authors looked at curricular and pedagogical developments; how changes affected individual students, teachers, administrators, and other school personnel; and how American cultural beliefs influenced efforts to change.
